Scoot Henderson has claimed Victor Wembanyama is simply "another draft prospect" as the confident American hopes to go first overall at this week’s 2023 NBA Draft.
On Thursday, Henderson and Wembanyama are just a pair of players among an entire class who will discover which franchise they are set to join. For almost the entire process, the duo were considered the top two prospects on offer although Wembanyama has been projected unanimously as the first pick, which will be made by the San Antonio Spurs.
Wembanyama has been arguably the most hyped prospect since LeBron James back in 2003, with fans ready to watch the skilled international big arrive and develop in the NBA. The 19-year-old combines an eight-foot wingspan with the shooting ability of a point guard inside a 7’4” frame.
