When the Spurs won the NBA lottery back in May, there was pretty much no question about who they were going to pick first, as Victor Wembanyama has been one of the most hyped-up prospects in a very long time.
This past season for Metropolitans 92 (French team) he averaged:
21.6 Points
10.4 Rebounds
3 Blocks
2.4 Assists
47% of shots made
Fun Facts about Victor Wembanyama:
Born in Le Chesnay, Yvelines (Next to Paris)
Born on January 4th, 2004
His height is 7'4, which is the same as Boban Marjanovic, the current tallest player in the NBA.
His father was a high jumper, and his mother was a basketball player and coach
He was given -10000 odds to be drafted #1
This year the Spurs had a terrible record of 60 losses and only 22 wins, and they have not made the playoffs for the past 4 seasons. Based on how good people think Wembanyama will be he should definitely be able to help improve the team's record and possibly make the playoffs.
