By now, you've probably heard that the 2023 NBA Draft class is headlined by two premier prospects — Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson. Wembanyama is a 7-foot-4 French big man with wing skills who, for lack of a better word, is truly a unicorn. Henderson is an explosive guard who is entering his second season with the G League Ignite, scoring with ease against other professionals last year at the age of 17. These two future stars have undoubtedly played a role in the way that NBA teams have tried to stockpile picks for this year's draft. We'll get to see them go head-to-head in two exhibition games on Oct. 4 and 6, when Wembanyama's Metropolitans 92 will travel to Las Vegas to take on Henderson's Ignite.
