Officially, NBA teams can’t talk about Wembanyama yet, since he’s just a draft prospect. But the question isn’t who goes No. 1, but who picks No. 1 in the NBA draft.
France's Victor Wembanyama arrives to attend the NBA basketball game between Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons at the Accor Arena in Paris, Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023. The 19-year-old, the best player in France, is the presumed No. 1 pick in the NBA draft later this year, the leading scorer and rebounder in his homeland's top pro league. – It was a maze of people, all crammed into about a three-foot-wide space separating the courtside seats at Accor Arena in Paris from the playing floor.
Yet his drawing power is unmistakable. Case in point: At the game Thursday, Wembanyama wasn’t seeking out the stars. Officially, NBA teams can’t talk about Wembanyama yet, since he’s just a draft prospect. There hasn’t been a draft with such a small amount of mystery surrounding the No. 1 pick since LeBron James entered the league in 2003. The question isn’t who goes No. 1, but who picks No. 1, something that will be settled by the order of how the ping-pong balls fall at the draft lottery on May 16.will come onto the stage, say a brief welcome, then announce which team has the No.
“I just want to be fair to him,” Silver added. “You know, I don’t think it should be my role to anoint him as the next great one. I’ll let others do that. But I know the league is excited to have him. And the fact that he’s French, and the interest he will generate in this country but also in Europe is not lost on me. And so, all positive so far.”
