San Antonio Spurs win NBA draft lottery and opportunity to select Victor Wembanyama

Victor Wembanyama is now set to begin his NBA career with the San Antonio Spurs, after they won the NBA draft lottery and the No. 1 overall pick on Tuesday night.

The Spurs were one of three teams with the best odds — 14% — to land the No. 1 pick, which they'll almost certainly use on Wembanyama. The 7-foot-3 French 19-year-old is one of the most highly touted prospects in NBA history and will be expected to make an immediate impact on the league.

Immediately following the lottery results, an excited Wembanyama, who was in France surrounded by family and friends, told ESPN that he "loves Texas."
