Likely top 2 picks in the 2023 NBA Draft will play twice this week
Wembanyama driving during EuroLeague play.For the second year in a row, NBA Draft fans and NBA front offices will get to see the likely top two picks in the draft play against each other. Last year Paolo Banchero's Duke team beat Chet Holmgren's Gonzaga squad. This year, Victor Wembanyama's Metropolitans 92 will take on Scoot Henderson's G League Ignite team.
Wembanyama is a 7-4 big and Henderson is a 6-3 guard so it seems unlikely we'll see them guarding each other much. Although, maybe Wembanyama may have to stay with Henderson on the perimeter in a switch situation. That would be especially intriguing to watch.
