The Spurs achieved a great victory in the NBA and were with the first pick of the Draft; Wembanyama, considered the ‘new LeBron James’, will reinforce San Antonio
The 2023/24 season has already started for the Spurs and brilliantly. Last Tuesday, the 16th, the NBA held the draft draw and announced the positioning of each franchise at the time of choosing the athletes. San Antonio won and was in the first position and practically guaranteed the arrival of Victor Wembanyamawhich is considered by many to be one of the greatest promises since LeBron James.
The NBA Draft was held in Chicago and had the presence of the 14 franchises that did not play in the playoffs this season. Through a draw, the balls defined that the Spurs would have the first-choice option. In this way, the team will have priority to obtain Victor Wembanyama. Even when first place was confirmed for San Antonio, team representatives celebrated the achievement a lot.
With one of the worst campaigns of the 2022/23 regular season, the Spurs took advantage of the NBA Draft and were in the best position to make the ‘perfect pick’ and reinforce the roster with the possible arrival of one of the greatest promises in recent history from basketball. Victor Wembanyama is an offensive player who combines versatility in attack, in addition to good defensive positioning. At just 19 years old, he is considered the ‘new Lebron James’ of the generation.
It is worth noting that his height draws attention. At 2.21m, the boy manages to combine his strength with great technical ability. Therefore, the expectation is that the 2023/24 season will be different for the Spurs, who hope to succeed with the French promise, who will be able to shine in a place where Tony Parker immortalized his name in world basketball.
