The San Antonio Spurs won the 2023 NBA Draft lottery and will have the opportunity to select Victor Wembanyama, the most coveted prospect since LeBron James.
Wembanyama completely alters the direction of the franchise for the Spurs, and he will provide an instant bolster to their offense. He can change the game on the defensive end of the floor with an 8-foot wingspan. His intersection of size and skill set is something we have never before seen in the NBA.
While the incredibly hyped French big man is the most well-known and discussed prospect in this class, there are plenty of other names to learn before the draft on June 22.
Although the Final Four didn’t feature many projectable NBA players, the most notable prospect was UConn star Jordan Hawkins. We had several other breakout stars during the NCAA men’s tournament as well.
