"Spurs Win 2023 Draft Lottery, Earn Right to Select French Phenom Victor Wembanyama #1 Overall"




The San Antonio Spurs have won the 2023 NBA draft lottery and the right to select French super-prospect Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick. This marks the third time the Spurs have had the top pick in the draft, and fans are excited to see what this generational talent, who stands at a staggering 7-foot-5, can do on the court. The Charlotte Hornets will draft second, followed by the Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets, and Detroit Pistons.

With the draft set to take place June 22 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, fans of all teams are eagerly anticipating the chance to see who their teams select. In addition to Wembanyama, Alabama's Brandon Miller and G League Ignite's Scoot Henderson are also highly-coveted prospects.

"Wembanyama is perhaps the most hyped NBA prospect since LeBron James in 2003," said Spurs General Manager Trevor Lawrence. "He has all the tools, including the ability to create his own shot off the dribble, shoot step-back 3s and use his 8-foot wingspan to protect the rim." It will be exciting to see what this prospect can do when he hits the court next season.
