NBA Draft 2023: Who has the best chance at Victor Wembanyama?
Victor Wembanyama is a 7'4" big man who has already drawn comparisons to Kevin Durant. He is expected to go first-overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. Wembenama has a wingspan of 8' and is built like a shot-blocking center.
Oklahoma City Thunder is not ready to win basketball games yet. Chet Holmgren's injury means the Thunder's 2022 second-overall pick will be out for the season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is injured and Victor Wembanyama is waiting to hear his name called first-round in the NBA Draft 2023.
The Utah Jazz are rebuilding after trading away Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. Victor Wembanyama is set to become available in next year's draft. San Antonio Spurs are also rebuilding and are looking for a player like Wemba. They are not used to playing in the Western Conference and have a lot of young players.
Houston Rockets have a promising young team, but they didn't win many games last season. Houston is positioned well to tank this year. The team has a nice collection of draft choices from the James Harden trade.
The NBA has always been separated into tiers: legitimate contenders, championship hopefuls, playoff contenders and the lottery teams. Victor Wembanyama is projected to go first overall in the 2023 draft.
