- Spurs win No 1 pick and rights to draft Victor Wembanyama
- San Antonio widely expected to choose French teenager
Victor Wembanyama is now set to begin his NBA career with the San Antonio Spurs, after they won the NBA draft lottery and the No 1 overall pick on Tuesday night.
The Spurs were one of three teams with the best odds – 14% – to land the No 1 pick, which they’ll almost certainly use on Wembanyama. The 7ft 3in French 19-year-old is one of the most highly touted prospects in NBA history and will be expected to make an immediate impact on the league.
