The NBA Draft order is set with the San Antonio Spurs landing the No. 1 pick for the third time in franchise history. There were audible gasps in the room when it was revealed the Detroit Pistons fell to No. 5 and the Houston Rockets ended up with the fourth overall pick after having equal odds with the Spurs at 14% to land the right to select Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick. Peter Holt Jr., the San Antonio Spurs' representative, gave out a loud cheer when he realized they would be receiving the No. 1 overall pick for the 2023 NBA Draft. Wembanyama was equally excited in an interview from France (at 2:30 a.m. local time) when the order was revealed.
