Victor Wembanyama is one of the most hyped prospects in NBA history. Not since the arrival of LeBron James has there been a more sought-after prospect in the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs won the first overall pick in the NBA Draft Lottery, and it is a foregone conclusion that they will draft Wembanyama. Nothing has been confirmed, but Wembanyama seems to know where his future lies.
During a press interview in France, Wembanyama was talking about his impending arrival in the NBA. During the press conference, Wembanyama almost accidentally confirmed that he would be drafted by San Antonio Spurs. Wemby quickly caught himself and had a quick chuckle with the other press members in attendance.

It’s pretty obvious that San Antonio will be bringing in Wembanyama with their pick. But no team usually confirms their intention ahead of draft night, as things can change quite drastically and they don’t want to lock themselves into a decision that could potentially backfire if and when circumstances change.
Victor Wembanyama: A Spurs Legend In The Making?
Barring any drastic changes, the Spurs will be building their franchise around Wembanyama. The Spurs have a successful history building around skilled big men, such as David Robinson and Tim Duncan. If Wenbanyama turns out to be the player that everyone expects him to be, then the Spurs could be looking at another dynasty in the years to come.
Wembanyama, similar to Luka Doncic, dominated the EuroLeague and established himself as one of the best players in the league at a very young age. With his combination of size and skill, Victor Wembanyama could become a game-changing player in the NBA, one that will change the way the game is played across the league.
There are a lot of expectations when it comes to Wembanyama. And fans will get to see the first glimpses of him in an NBA jersey when he plays in the NBA Summer League, which he confirmed his intent to participate in recently.
