Roughly 30 hours before the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 pick in June's NBA Draft, the 7-foot-4 Frenchman bound his long frame through a midtown Manhattan ballroom and settled behind a podium before scores of assembled media. He was asked about the importance of being selected first overall.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JULY 11: Victor Wembanyama #1 of the San Antonio Spurs greets his former Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92 teammate, Bilal Coulibaly #0 of the Washington Wizards, after a 2023 NBA Summer League game at the Thomas & Mack Center on July 11, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Coulibaly wasn’t even considered a first-round pick when Metros 92 flocked to Las Vegas last October, so scouts could watch Wembanyama’s team battle G League Ignite and Scoot Henderson — the eventual No. 3 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Coulibaly ultimately landed as the seventh selection, two spots below Wembanyama’s assessment yet nothing short of a dramatic rise.
Wembanyama is running pick-and-rolls as a ball handler, taking screens from 6-1 point guard Tre Jones when the conventional confines of basketball insist that action should be run the other way around. Wembanyama has slung gorgeous backdoor bounce passes to cutting teammates.
