The era with Victor Wembanyama in the NBA has officially started after the predicted No. 1 overall pick finally heard his name be called to the stage, getting drafted by the San Antonio Spurs. That was the start of an incredible drat night that saw multiple teams find the perfect players to add to their systems.
There were 58 slots to be filled and by now, all players have been drafted to whichever team picked them. A flurry of two-way contracts to undrafted players are likely to be handed out as well.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Chicago Bulls were forced to forfeit their second-round picks due to tampering violations.
This draft has plenty of big hitters in both rounds. The lottery picks are all strong prospects that can contribute to both win-now projects as well as rebuilding situations. The second round has a bunch of steals that have been selected, such as Leonard Miller at 33, GG Jackson at 44, and Emoni Bates at 49, among others.
It’ll be fascinating to see what these prospects evolve into in the NBA. Not all players end up even stepping onto the floor, so the real work begins here for all of these players.
