Victor Wembanyama is already delivering big for the NBA, even before stepping foot on the court for the San Antonio Spurs.
Even with the 19-year-old’s selection at No. 1 in the 2023 NBA Draft all but a formality, fans watched the draft coverage from Barclays Center at record numbers on Thursday — particularly to check out the 7-foot-4 phenom.
