The second overall pick went to the Charlotte Hornets, who had a 12.5% chance of landing the top pick, while the Portland Trail Blazers (10.5%) landed the third overall pick. 

Wembanyama is one of the best prospects in NBA history. The French native has a polished game at just 19 years old.

Standing at 7-foot-2, 229 pounds, Wembanyama has the ability to dribble, shoot and do just about everything on a court at his size, which has baffled evaluators. 

Playing for the Metropolitans in France’s LNB Pro A league, he averaged 21.6 points per game with 10.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks while making 47% of his field goal attempts in 33 games this season.

Some evaluators even believe Wembanyama is taller than 7-foot-2, which would make him an immediate franchise cornerstone for the Spurs with the skill he’s displayed each night overseas. 

After Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller are considered the next-best prospects to choose from for the Hornets and Blazers.
