Victor Wembanyama is in New York for the NBA Draft Thursday night, where he is the presumptive No. 1 pick (which undersells it, he’s a lock to be taken by the Spurs).
Wembanyama is getting to do all the celebrity New York things, such as have a throng of fans greet him at the airport, and on Tuesday night he got to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. He may want to stick to the hardwood.
After looking at this pic of a baseball in his hands, I am cutting Wembanyama some slack.
Also, he took a little batting practice and… that is one big strike zone.
I expect Wembanyama will look more comfortable on the hardwood if we see him at Summer League in Sacramento or Las Vegas. First, he’s got to shake Adam Silver’s hand on Thursday night.
