Eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama this season. The new Metropolitans player remains the favorite to be chosen in first position in the 2023 Draft. But for that, he will have to continue to show all his talent and hope to remain in good physical health. Other high-level prospects will take the opportunity if it arises. This is the case of Scoot Henderson, the back of the Ignite team in the G-League.
In the latest projections, Henderson is frequently seen as a very credible No. 2 pick if Wembanyama is indeed called first by Adam Silver in 9 months. There is a good chance that the two boys, whose playing profile is obviously very different, will be opposed once before the big day.
According to Rafael Barlowe, discussions are taking place at the moment to organize an exhibition match at the beginning of October between Boulogne-Levallois and Team Ignite in … Las Vegas. It is not yet known if this information is justified, since the Metropolitans are supposed to take over the Betlic Elite from September 22. A trip to Las Vegas, both financially and in terms of timing, does not seem so easy to organize.
In the idea, we are in any case very keen to see Victor Wembanyama rub shoulders with players he will find in the NBA for the 2023-2024 season if all goes well. Sidy Cissoko, the 18-year-old French rear, is part of Team Ignite this season and would no doubt be delighted to find compatriots.
Sources: There are ongoing discussions of a friendly matchup to take place in early October in Las Vegas between Metropolitans 92 and the G League Ignite, featuring the top two projected picks in the 2023 NBA draft – Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson.
