Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, will play in his first game as a member of the Spurs when he makes his Summer League debut on Friday.
For many, it will be their first look at Wembanyama. While he played a couple of games against Scoot Henderson and the G League Ignite in October that aired on ESPN2, Wembanyama spent the 2022-23 season playing overseas.
Wembanyama put together a dominant season before heading to the NBA. Not only did he become the youngest player ever to win MVP in France's LNB Pro A league, but he was also named best defender, best scorer, best blocker and best young player. There's a reason he is one of the most hyped prospects ever.
