San Antonio is picking first again.The franchise that once selected David Robinson No. 1 overall, and then Tim Duncan No. 1 overall, before going on to use one or both of those eventual Naismith Memorial Hall of Famers to claim five NBA championships, won the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday night in Chicago for the third time in franchise history. That means in the 2023 NBA Draft on June 22 in New York.Victor Wembanyama will be the pick.The French sensation, the 7-foot-4 super-freak who has been described as the greatest teenage basketball prospect in history, learned his fate while surrounded by his family in Paris at around 2:30 a.m. local time. He seemed pleased, as he should be, because Wembanyama is now going to join one of the league's greatest and most-admired franchises and be coached by a legend in Gregg Popovich. Felix Hernandez Jersey It's a fun pairing. It's (arguably) the greatest NBA coach in history (presumably) winding down his career by molding somebody who could (theoretically) become the greatest NBA player in history. It's terrific for Pop, even better for Wemby, and a proce s that'll be a joy for all of the rest of us to watch unfold. Will it turn San Antonio into a contender for anything notable immediately? Probably not. Even LeBron James only won 35 games as a rookie. But, in a matter of, let's say, three years, Wembanyama should be ready to have San Antonio competing at or near the top of the Western Conference, provided the Spurs get enough good pieces around him, which history suggests they'll do and do well.Mock DraftRound 1 Round 1 - Pick 1 Victor Wembanyama C France 7'4" / 210 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 1st POSITION RNK 1st PPG 21.8 RPG 10.3 BPG 3.1 3P% 29.2% Wembanyama has a chance to be one of the best players in the world, and perhaps of all-time, on both sides of the ball. The 19-year-old phenom is a perfect centerpiece for a San Antonio organization that's obviously had loads of succe s in the past spending No. 1 picks on bigs. Round 1 - Pick 2 SF Alabama Fr 6'9" / 200 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 3rd POSITION RNK 1st PPG 18.8 RPG 8.2 APG 2.1 3P% 38.4% The presence of LaMelo Ball as Charlotte's lead guard is among the reasons Miller is now considered the favorite to go second overall. He's a wing with size who made 38.4% of the 7.5 3-pointers he attempted per game while leading Alabama to the outright SEC regular-season title. Round 1- Pick 3 Scoot Henderson PG G League Ignite 6'2" / 195 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 2nd POSITION RNK 1st PPG 17.6 RPG 5.1 APG 6.6 3P% 32.4% If Miller goes second, odds are Henderson will go third. The G-League Ignite product has the athleticism and Braden Bishop Jersey strength to be a franchise-changing lead guard as long as his still-developing 3-point shot eventually becomes reliable. Round 1 - Pick 4 Amen Thompson SF Overtime Elite 6'6" / 214 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 5th POSITION RNK 3rd PPG 16.4 RPG 5.9 APG 5.9 3P% 25% Thompson is a big and super-athletic guard with a unique ability to shot-create and deliver pa ses most prospects his age can't even see. The Rockets are still very much in a take-the-best-prospect-available mode, and this is the Thompson twin who checks that box. Round 1 - Pick 5 PF Houston Fr 6'7" / 249 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 10th Shed Long Jersey POSITION RNK 1st PPG 11.2 RPG 6.8 APG 1.8 3P% 34.7% Considering nobody had better lottery odds than the Pistons, it's disappointing for Detroit to be picking fifth in this draft. That said, Walker would be a nice consolation prize as a physical specimen who exerts energy on both ends of the court and po se ses the ability to play the four or small-ball five. Round 1 - Pick 6 PG Arkansas Fr 6'6" / 210 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 9th POSITION RNK 3rd PPG 12.8 RPG 5.1 APG 3.9 3P% 30.1% The Magic have promising frontcourt players but could really use comparable young guards. Black has a chance to be one thanks to the fact that he has great size for his position and the ability to make incredible pa ses and make plays out of pick-and-rolls. Round 1 - Pick 7 Dan Vogelbach Jersey SF Kansas Fr 6'6" / 204 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 11th POSITION RNK 5th PPG 14.1 RPG 5.1 APG 1.7 3P% 40.3% Nothing is more valuable in the NBA right now than wings who can shoot, and Dick is the best shooter in this draft. He made more than 40% of the 5.7 3-pointers he attempted per game for the outright Big 12 regular-season champs and would fit nicely alongside Tyrese Haliburton. Round 1 - Pick 8 Ausar Thompson SF Overtime Elite 6'6" / 218 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 6th POSITION RNK 4th PPG 16.3 RPG 7.1 APG 6.1 3P% 29.8% The Wizards should take the best prospect available, and the other Thompson twin is that guy and this point in this mock draft. He's a tall athlete just like his brother and something of a traditional driver and slasher who can guard multiple positions well. Round 1 - Pick 9 SF Villanova Fr 6'6" / 235 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 4th POSITION RNK 2nd PPG 12.5 RPG 5.3 APG 0.7 3P% 34.3% Whitmore is one of those prospects who just looks different. He's an incredible physical specimen capable of playing either forward position, and the type of prospect Utah executive Danny Ainge has a history of prioritizing. Round 1 - Pick 10 PG Indiana Fr 6'4" / 217 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 13th POSITION RNK 4th PPG 13.5 RPG 4.1 APG 3.7 3P% Mike Marjama Jersey 33.3% Whether the Mavericks bring back Kyrie Irving or not, having another combo guard to play with Luka Donic isn't the worst idea in the world. Hood-Schifino has good-enough size and a more-dependable 3-point shot than what he showed in his one season at Indiana. From Round 1 - Pick 11 SG Baylor Fr 6'4" / 185 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 7th POSITION RNK 1st PPG 15.3 RPG 4.2 APG 2.8 3P% 33.8% I have the Magic taking a big point guard with their first pick in this draft, so this is a decent spot to grab a backcourt partner. George wasn't the most consistent freshmen in the country in his one season at Baylor, but his ability to navigate pick-and-rolls, put pre sure on defenses and score is undeniable. Round 1 - Pick 12 PF UC
