Spurs Fiesta 5: Victor Wembanyama 'The Next LeBron'?
"Despite not having played a single game in the NBA, Wembanyama has been touted almost as highly as LeBron James was 20 years ago. He’s already been given the task of becoming as great as some of the biggest names in basketball history — less he bears the weight of being a "disappointment"."
"This year's NBA Draft is headlined by the San Antonio Spurs, who should take Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 pick in two weeks' time.
"However, the Spurs also have two second-round picks to work with at Nos. 33 and 45."
