the San Antonio Spurs The franchise’s game-changing moment was on Tuesday night.
This is because they won the NBA Draft Lottery and now hold the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
While winning the lottery is always important, it holds even more meaning this year.
This is because one of the best possible drafts in recent memory can be selected.
French basketball star Victor Wimpanyama is what many are calling the next big thing in the NBA.
Colin Coward seems to think first-choice Tottenham is an excellent place for Mbaniyama.
“Tottenham aren’t going to screw it up…they’re grown up. They’re the parents you want to get your kids to.”

Coward mentioned how “grown-ups” Spurs know how to deal with star players.
For a long time, the Spurs were one of the top basketball franchises.
They have been consistent championship contenders winning five times from 1998-2014.
Their dynasty began when they selected Tim Duncan first overall.
That was the last time the Spurs had a first overall pick.
Also, Tottenham is known as an international team.
Outside of Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili have been a major part of their success.
Parker is the greatest French basketball player of all time.
Now, Wimpanyama will follow his place as a member of Tottenham Hotspur.
There is no doubt that Wimpanyama will be an overall first pick.
It will immediately increase ticket and jersey sales for the team because all eyes will be on San Antonio next season.
Sometimes it pays for the tank.
That’s what Tottenham did and they were rewarded with the opportunity to recruit a once-in-a-generation player.
