Victor Wembanyama has been told that it was “destiny” for him to be drafted by the San Antonio Spurs.
The 19-year-old is widely regarded as one of the brightest talents in NBA history, after being selected with the No.1 overall pick in June’s draft. The Spurs selected Wembanyama with their pick, and he joins the likes of Tim Duncan and David Robinson to be selected by San Antonio with the No.1 overall selection.
Wembanyama recently got his first taste of the NBA by competing in the Summer League this month. The teenager featured in both of the Spurs’ games against the Charlotte Hornets and the Portland Trail Blazers. The first game against the Hornets saw Wembanyama struggle with just nine points to his name. Things improved greatly against the Blazers, with the centre scoring 27 points with 12 rebounds.
