The San Antonio Spurs have won the NBA Draft Lottery 2023 and will own the rights to the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft on June 22 in Barclays Center.

This is the 3rd time in franchise history that the Spurs have held the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft and just like they did with Tim Duncan and David Robinson, they will be adding a generational talent to their roster in Victor Wembanyama. Regardless of who ended up with the first pick this year, Wembanyama will be the first player off the board on draft night and the Spurs' franchise has been forever changed.

A 7-foot-4 center that possesses an 8-foot wingspan, Wembanyama is the top player in this year's draft for numerous reasons. He can play on the perimeter or in the post, he can handle the ball and be a playmaker for his teammates, plus the French big man can make plays for his team defensively because of his length.

Wembanyama is the best draft prospect this league has seen since LeBron James in 2003 and San Antonio are suddenly looking like a real threat in the Western Conference because of their youth and potential.
