Exceptional talent Victor Wembanyama reacted emotionally to his future with the San Antonio Spurs. When NBA boss Adam Silver officially announced what had been expected for weeks at the draft on Friday night, the 19-year-old Frenchman cried in a TV interview afterwards. “I’ve accomplished something I’ve dreamed of all my life. I’ve dreamed of hearing this line from Adam Silver for so long. I’m crying,” he said.
Wembanyama, short for Wemby, is considered the greatest talent since LeBron James was first picked by the Cleveland Cavaliers 20 years ago. He is 2.18 meters long and, in addition to the range advantages, also has an excellent feel for the ball.
The Charlotte Hornets selected Brandon Miller (20) as runner-up. The Portland Trail Blazers chose Scoot Henderson (19), who was considered by many experts to be the best player in the draft class after Wembanyama.
Twins Amen Thompson and Ausar Thompson placed fourth and fifth respectively to the Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons. There have never been two brothers in the top 10 in NBA draft history. (SDA)
