Victor Wembanyama Draft — 2023 No. 1 Overall Pick

Victor Wembanyama was selected first overall by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2023 NBA Draft on June 22, 2023. He arrived as the most-hyped prospect since LeBron James — a generational talent the Spurs landed after winning the draft lottery.

He came to the NBA from Metropolitans 92 in France, where he had already shown the rare blend of size, mobility and shooting that made his selection a formality long before draft night. The Spurs, with four championships built around great big men, were a natural landing spot.
