Victor Wembanyama highlights: Putback dunks, one-legged shots and more from No. 1 prospect in 2023 NBA Draft image

Last year, the Magic stunned the NBA community by selecting Paolo Banchero as the No. 1 overall pick. This time around, there won't be any surprises at the top of the draft board.

Regardless of which team wins the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery, Victor Wembanyama will be the first name that Adam Silver announces on draft night. The French big man is considered the best prospect since LeBron James, who has called Wembanyama "an alien."

Even if you aren't a professional scout, it's easy to see why franchises are so excited about the idea of bringing the 19-year-old to their city. Just watch a few of Wembanyama's highlights, and you'll be ready to hop on the hype train.
