Tuesday night was a big night for the NBA, as the Draft Lottery results were revealed. The San Antonio Spurs emerged as winners, taking the right to draft overhyped prospect Victor Wembanyama in the upcoming draft. 

While the Frenchman celebrated the Spurs getting the No. 1 pick, he also showed his happiness when another team failed to get that number. Cameras caught the moment the future No. 1 overall pick celebrated after the Houston Rockets fell to No. 4.

Even though he would be happy to become a part of the league, it seems like Wembanyama was rooting against one team on Tuesday night. This was a crucial moment not only for him but the rest of the league, and it’s great to see he was excited to join a franchise like the San Antonio Spurs to start his NBA journey. 

A new era has begun in San Antonio, which will have selected three of the best big men in the history of the game in the last 35 years. 


Wembanyama Is Happy To Join The Spurs 

Meanwhile, Wembanyama was quick to show his excitement about his next team. The Spurs have been considered a great franchise for young stars. Even though they’ve struggled to develop some of them, like Dejounte Murray and Derrick White, the team knows they have what it takes to make Wembanyama a legendary player. 

The Frenchman already said he wants to win a ring, and that should make Spurs fans dream about their future acquisition. Wembanyama has showcased his talents over the years, and everybody believes he will be the next big thing in the NBA.

The Spurs have the right to draft a gem in the upcoming draft, and once he joins the team, things will get more exciting for fans. The Rockets will have to settle with their No. 4 pick, while the Spurs can’t be happier with this development.
