Sunday morning was the beginning of the playoffs for the French Basketball League, and Victor Wembanyama led his Met 92 squad to a Game 1 victory over Cholet. The first round matchups are best of 3, and despite an unusual substitution pattern, Wembanyama was clearly the best player on a floor that included former NCAA stars and other future NBA prospects. Rumored to be in attendance was one Gregg Popovich, who booked a flight to France after learning his team had won the Lottery. (Remember the other San Antonio Spurs draft pick Pop flew to visit after the lottery?
