Thursday's stage is set for Victor Wembanyama to be the No.1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, something he's been preparing for his entire life.
The seven-foot-four French teenger has dreamed of playing in the NBA, and ever since that ambition started to look like a reality he's been making adjustments to get himself in the best shape. Wembanyama will become the tallest active NBA player when he steps out on the court for the first time, but he's looking to work on his power due to having a very slim frame.
"I gotta eat whenever I can. Before practice, after practice, before I go to bed, after waking up, before the nap, after the nap," said Wembanyama said in an interview with Good Morning America. The Frenchman is determined to deliver after being labelled as a "generational talent", with even LeBron James giving the 19-year-old his approval.
