Heading into the 2023 NBA draft, Victor Wembanyama was the clear number one overall pick. Coming out of France, the Alien was doing things that we had never seen before. Whether it was his insane ability to take defenders off the dribble while standing at 7'3", knocking down deep threes, or sending shots into the stands, the youngster was a diamond.
The Spurs held the first overall pick after a lucky lottery draw, and it appeared that Wembanyama was headed to San Antonio. However, not everyone would agree. Competing with the Frenchman to become the first overall pick was the G-League Ignite's own Scoot Henderson.
