Victor Wembanyama, the top prospect in the 2023 NBA Draft, has already been seen signing a San Antonio Spurs jersey with his name on it. And when the draft begins Thursday, Spurs general manager Brian Wright will write “Wembanyama” on a draft card as soon as he can. The suspense begins behind the French phenom, who headlines a deep and talented draft class. Both G-League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson and Alabama forward Brandon Miller have strong cases to go second. The supremely athletic Thompson twins -- Amen and Ausar -- might boast the highest upsides behind Henderson and Miller. And the biggest story of draft night might become the veteran who gets traded for one of these top prospects. How will one of the most unpredictable draft nights in recent history unfold?
