If all “dunce cap” franchises dream of recovering Victor Wembanyama for the benefits of his arrival on the sporting level, the financial aspect of such an operation should not be neglected. Wemby effect !

The lottery has never lived up to its name so well.

According to NBA scout Michael Scotto, the team that will recover Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 Draft will add half a billion dollars to the value of its franchise. Just that ! It must be said that since the start of the season, the Frenchman has been the object of all desires across the Atlantic. Hunted during his least outings with the Mets, Wemby displays a dazzling level making him one of the most promising prospects in the history of the selection.

Scotto explains this valuation by several elements, comparing him to LeBron James who was also, in his time, the greatest prospect in history.

“He is better known than LeBron James in his time thanks to social networks. At his age, LeBron had already played a few games on ESPN, but other than that, the public hadn’t really seen him. With Wembanyama it’s really different, you see it everywhere and the NBA already broadcasts all its games on the NBA application. It’s a big difference. »

By formalizing his candidacy for the Draft live on ESPN NBA Today, Wemby understood the vein and the importance of the media in his quest for American greatness. There hype is there and the Frenchman seems totally in tune with what awaits him.

The counters have not finished panicking with Victor Wembanyama. See you on May 16 at the NBA lottery to find out which franchise will get the first round of draft – and therefore Scoot Henderson.
