2023 NBA first-round mock draft: What happens after Victor Wembanyama?

OK, we know Victor Wembanyama is headed to San Antonio.

The Spurs winning the draft lottery was their one-way ticket back up the Western Conference ladder following a multi-year cold spell, and Gregg Popovich getting to coach a generational prospect in Wembanyama feels unfair.

At least that’s what 29 other teams have thought about after losing out on the Wembanyama sweepstakes, and now have to pivot to what to do next in terms of roster construction. Do you keep your pick(s) and believe in the player you’re drafting or trade back and reassess?

That’s the dilemma every front office not in San Antonio will be facing when the 2023 NBA Draft gets underway on Thursday, June 22.
