Wembanyama, who plays for French club Metropolitans 92, took the court in an exhibition game against the G-League Ignite. Plenty of scouts and NBA executives were in attendance to see what the Wembanyama hype was all about. The 18-year old French prospect has been described as the "next big thing" when it comes to draft eligibile players. He is considered the consensus number one pick for the 2023 NBA Draft. He entered the game with lofty expectations. He stands at 7'5", has a solid jumper, and can handle the ball like a point guard. Teams are salivating at the possibility of drafting the talented Frenchman. Sports radio host Dan Patrick is all aboard the 'Victor Wembanyama' hype train. He spent a lot of time praising him during a recent episode of 'The Dan Patrick Show'. Patrick described Wembanyama as "a better version of Chet Holmgren." "Victor Wembenyama and he is anywhere from 7'2 to 7'5 and his wingspan is 8 feet. He's got skill. He's got a really, really good three-point shot. He likes to play defense. Now he's thin but he appears to be a better version than Chet Holmgren." "You watch him play. If you just said he's going to play defense, he's going to be a three point shooter and play defense. He could be an All-star with his abilities. Now, where's he going to go?"
