The San Antonio Spurs on Saturday held a press conference to introduce their top overall selection in the 2023 NBA Draft, French basketball sensation Victor Wembanyama, along with second round draft pick, Sidy Cissoko.
Wembanyama said as a basketball player, he is trying to learn from the best. He wants to continue to improve his game while staying true to who he is.
The 7-foot 4-inch big man said in his future he still has houses to visit before heading to Portland to speak with Nike officials. He said he also intends to get back to practicing and lifting before playing both summer league and with France for FIBA basketball. The team also introduced second-round pick Sidy Cissoko, who is also from France. He played last season with the G League Ignite, where he averaged 12.8 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.8 rebounds in 28 regular season games.
“I can play one through four,” Cissoko said. “I know if you play hard on defense, you can play good on offense.”
