The San Antonio Spurs have won the NBA Draft lottery “first pick”. They will be able to choose the first player called up in the NBA draft on June 22, most likely the great Victor Wembanyama.
The 2023 NBA Draft Lottery has delivered its verdict. The San Antonio Spurs won the first choice on Tuesday and could therefore recruit in the coming weeks the French phenomenon Victor Wembanyama, announced No. 1 of the next NBA draft.
On June 22, the NBA franchises will each select the best young people in the basketball world during this great ceremony. And “Wemby”, imposing player of the Metropolitans 92 (2.21m for 109 kg) is favorite to be selected first. He is the most popular of the 60 candidates who will be recruited one by one, over two rounds.
To distribute their order of selection, the 14 franchises that failed to qualify for the playoffs this season participated in the famous “Draft Lottery” last night.

• 1. San Antonio Spurs

• 3. Portland Trail Blazers
• 4. Houston Rockets

• 6. Orlando Magic
• 7. Indiana Pacers
• 8. Washington Wizards
• 9. Utah Jazz

“Be ready”
Wembanyama attended the lottery from Paris, surrounded by his family and a few guests including Kylian Mbappé.
“I will do everything to win as many matches as possible and I will try to win a ring [de champion, ndlr] as soon as possible. Be ready”, launched Victor Wembanyama a few minutes after the announcement of the results of the lottery, very happy.
San Antonio and France is already a great love story in the world of the orange ball. Because 22 years ago, the Texas team selected a certain Tony Parker, with the success we know: four league titles out of the five that Spurs have.
“After all the history I had there, it would be huge,” agreed “TP” in recent days.
“Yeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sssssssed Manu Ginobili, who was victorious in San Antonio with Parker, was very happy.
Wembanyama will therefore likely be taken in hand by Gregg Popovich, one of the best coaches in the history of basketball. A makeover for the 74-year-old veteran who obviously hopes to revive his franchise, having finished with one of the three worst records in the league this season. At the time, “Coach Pop” knew how to do it with Tim Duncan, another Parker teammate at Spurs and who has since simply become one of the best interiors in history.
