Every season, the Summer League is a chance for players to continue their NBA journeys. Top draft picks get their first taste of the NBA. Others are fighting to keep that NBA dream alive. Tonight, the #1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Victor Webanyama, will be playing in his first Summer League game. He’ll have a matchup vs the #2 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft by the Hornets, Brandon Miller. It’s a sold-out crowd tonight in Vegas.
For a majority of NBA fans, this will be their first time getting to watch Wembanyama. He played a few games last fall that aired on ESPN2 last fall. However, most have not seen him play since he was overseas in France. It will be the first time that NBA fans get to see the French sensation play live.
Wembanyama is one of the most highly touted prospects to enter the NBA draft in the last 20 years. The expectations for the 19-year-old are high. Tonight will be his first chance to transition into the NBA.
