French phenom Victor Wembanyama is expected to be drafted first overall by the San Antonio Spurs in tonight's NBA Draft.
Metropolitan 92's French power forward Victor Wembanyama is ready to take his shot. The San Antonio Spurs are expected to pick the phenom with the No. 1 pick in tonight's NBA Draft.Whether it's the Spurs or another team that calls his name remains to be seen. But the French phenom is widely expected to be drafted first overall. And the San Antonio Spurs currently have the first overall pick in this year's draft.
Draft coverage starts at 7 p.m. Thursday and will continue through pick 58 in the second round. The Spurs pick first in the first round and third and 14th in the second round. There are only 58 picks in this year's draft, as the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers forfeited their second-round picks after violating free agency rules.
If you're looking for the best time to tune in to watch the Spurs draft first, look for the first selection to come around 7:10 p.m. Thursday. The Spurs will be on the clock right away as draft coverage starts, and last year ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted at 7:09 that the Orlando Magic would take eventual Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero.
