The 2023 NBA Draft is The Victor Wembanyama Draft. No matter the Frenchman’s career plays out, the hype surrounding the once-in-a-generation prospect has overtaken this event now and will do so throughout history. There seemingly is no scenario in which he is not the No. 1 pick. Wembanyama is taller than Zach Edey with guard-like handle, Rudy Gobert-like rim protection with the mobility of players nearly a foot shorter than him. He also has the creativity and skill to do things like consistently draining one-footed threes and tip-slamming his own missed 3-point attempt.
