Spurs Win NBA Draft Lottery and Select Wembanyama

The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA draft lottery and will have the No. 1 pick in June's draft, giving them the right to select French basketball star Victor Wembanyama, who is being compared to LeBron James. Wembanyama is a 7-foot-3 center with an eight-foot wingspan who can handle the ball and shoot like a guard. The Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Houston Rockets received the second, third, and fourth picks, respectively. This is the third time the Spurs have won the lottery, having previously selected Tim Duncan and David Robinson.
