Four months before the 2023 NBA Draft, Victor Wembanyama has not let go of his No. 1 status. No direct competition, a youngster taller than the others, and above all… better prepared for the media exercise. Routine issue. Well done Victor. Always go through that.
“So you consider the Rockets to be a good organization? ». Not a single journalist to dismiss Victor Wembanyama in his boots. Admiration hurts the ethics of the profession. On June 22, 60 young Cubs will climb on the stage of the Barclays Center (not all of them, but you have understood) to grab Adam Silver or Mark Tatum. For now, uncertainty remains. No one is guaranteed to be selected in a fixed place, with one exception: Victor Wembanyama (and Scoot Henderson but who cares). advertised as the first pick of the 2023 Draft, Wemby is just waiting to know the team that will collect the 1st choice at the lottery.

Newcomers are sometimes asked to be the team’s first offensive option, when they sometimes don’t have the weapons to dominate once morest accomplished family men. Victor will probably be different. The chosen one who changes the dynamics of an entire organization. If he doesn’t have a preference, it’s because he thinks he can perform at all the racks. So he is in the right direction.
