Victor Wembanyama suffers unhappy end to career in France before NBA Draft

Victor Wembanyama lost his final game as a Metropolitans 92 player in the French LNB Pro A League - as attention turns to the French teenager's NBA journey.

Wembanyama is projected to be the number one overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft, with considerations from NBA experts that he may emerge as one of the brightest prospects in league history behind LeBron James.

However, despite the 19-year-old's bright future, Metropolitans 92 lost Game 3 to Monaco who claimed a 3-0 finals series sweep. Wembanyama poured in 22 points along with seven rebounds and two assists, leading all scorers on the team.
