Victor Wembanyama: 'There is no bad organization. I never tell myself I don't like to go there'

He doesn’t allow himself to project where he’ll end up, he said. But when Medjana pulls up the standings on his phone, Wembanyama knows the bottom-dwelling teams that are in contention for him without looking. They go through them without comment: San Antonio, Detroit, Charlotte, Houston. As he twirls linguine around his fork, Wembanyama says flatly: “There is no wrong team.” “I am not worried; there is no bad organization,” he said. “I never tell myself I don’t like to go there.”

At the 2023 All-Star break, Houston (13-45) owns the NBA’s worst record, and Victor Wembanyama is viewed by many scouts and analysts as one of the league’s best draft prospects in years. Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is quite aware and already connecting dots. To conclude an interview at Galveston’s Mardi Gras celebration on Saturday night with KPRC (Houston’s NBC television affiliate), Fertitta said this when the Rockets were mentioned: Thank God we’ve got 10 days off. And pray for Victor! -via Rockets Wire / February 19, 2023

17-year-old Spanish big man Aday Mara is one of the participants in the 2023 Basketball Without Borders Global camp that is held as a part of the 2023 NBA All-Star weekend. Mara, a member of hometown team Zaragoza in the Spanish ACB League, is a 2,21 m. (7′ 3″) center with a notable skillset for his size and frame. He’s been compared with fellow unicorn Victor Wembanyama, the French big man who’s widely expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, barring a major surprise. -via EuroHoops.net / February 18, 2023
