Victor WembanyamaVictor Wembanyama of Metropolitans 92 looks on during the Betclic Elite match between Metropolitans 92 and Roanne | Aurelien Meunier/Getty ImagesVictor WembanyamaA highly touted French basketball prospect who has evolved into the overwhelming favorite to become the first pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, Victor Wembanya has inspired wonder with his combination of size and skill on the court. Not every 7-footer can knock down three-pointers with such smooth shooting form, much less put the ball on the floor and attack the basket. For Wembanyama, the sky seems the limit at the NBA level.
