With the No. 1 overall pick, the Spurs are slated to pick at the top of the draft for the first time since 1997, when the team took Tim Duncan with the No. 1 selection. Duncan helped lead the Spurs to five NBA championships and his selection kickstarted one of the most successful dynasties in all of sports. It's almost certain that the team will select Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 pick, and he's considered to be the best prospect to enter the league since LeBron James two decades ago.
Now, he calls San Antonio home.
The NBA Draft takes place on June 22, five weeks from Thursday.
