The 2023 NBA draft is just under five months away. In this year’s draft, the 7’4″ Victor Wembanyama is projected to be the no.1 overall pick. In light of this, an NBA draft analyst at ESPN, Jonathan Givony, predicted the 19-year-old’s future in the league. Meanwhile, shortly after Givony shared his views, it elicited the fans’ attention and made them reflect on social media.

Currently, Wembanyama plays for the French side Metropolitans 92. However, he is expected to make his NBA debut next season.

Where would Victor Wembanyama play following the 2023 NBA draft?

Prior to the draft, a lottery is conducted by the league to decide the team that would get the first pick. Therefore, many franchises would have a chance to pick Wembanyama in the 2023 NBA draft. However, recently, Givony predicted in which franchise the young starlet would end up. According to the NBA draft analyst, as of right now, the 19-year-old prodigy is expected to land with the Houston Rockets as the no. 1 overall pick. Therefore, if the said prediction goes right, the 7’4″ center would likely form a lethal trio with Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. in Houston.
