Even if there are currently a number of matches missing due to physical glitches, Victor Wembanyama (2.19 m), who has just celebrated his 18th birthday, is still considered the future number 1 of the 2023 draft by the specialized site ESPN.
“Mike Schmitz and Jonathan Givony have spent the past few weeks criss-crossing Europe and watching dozens of high school games live and on film to get an up-to-date look at how the Class of 2023 is going,” the site said.
Jonathan Givony completes:
“The No. 1 draft pick, Victor Wembanyama, is now a household name among draft die-hards. A prospect I’ve been evaluating closely since he was 13, the 7-3 (2.19m) phenom with endless wingspan and a rare level of skill for his size does everything on both sides, and has already proven himself against this year’s No. 1 draft pick Holmgren last summer on the FIBA Tour, recording 22 points, 8 rebounds and 8 blocks in a narrow loss to the United States. »
Ryan Rupert of INSEP, younger brother of Iliana, is announced in 30th position.
