With the first pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs selected center Victor Wembanyama from France.
"Best day of my life. Probably the best night of my life. I have been dreaming about this for so long. It is a dream come true," said Wembanyama. "I'm going to give a hundred percent. All that is in my power to make this franchise win, you know, to have impact on the franchise and the fan base and the community."
