The San Antonio Spurs can have the primary decide within the NBA Draft later this yr and the primary crack at French sensation Victor Wembanyama.
The towering Wembanyama is taken into account a generational expertise and a lock for the primary decide within the draft.
He now appears sure to land on the Spurs after they claimed the primary decide within the draft within the lottery held on Wednesday morning (AWST).
Wembanyama would be the Spurs’ third No. 1 decide after David Robinson and Tim Duncan.
The Charlotte Hornets have the second decide, with the Portland Trailblazers third and Houston Rockets with the fourth decide. The Detroit Pistons had been the unlikely sliders within the lottery and can now have the fifth decide.
The 19-year-old watched the draft with household and associates in Paris and boldly declared he desires to guide the franchise to a championship as quickly as potential.
“I can’t really describe it, it’s just my heart’s beating, I have everyone I love around me, it’s a really special moment I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” he instructed ESPN.
“I’m a team player, I’m going to make everything to win as many games as I can and I’m trying to win a ring ASAP. So be ready.”
“I really can’t wait to meet the fans.”
The draft shall be held on June 22.
More to come back.
