Victor Wembanyama is as close to a lock for the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA draft as a player can get. The 7-foot-4 18-year-old is playing his last season in France before the 2023 NBA draft and is dominating the Betclic Élite league as one of the youngest players on the court.

In his most recent game Tuesday night, Wembanyama had his quietest outing of the season, posting only 15 points, six rebounds and three blocks in 29 minutes in a 102-77 loss on the road to Roanne. He picked up three early fouls in the first half and Roanne's defense limited his touches, making it difficult to get anything in the paint, sometimes triple-teaming him.

Prior to the loss at Roanne, Wembanyama was on an absolute tear, putting up impressive numbers against former NBA professionals and players sometimes 10 years older than him. In a four-game stretch, Wembanyama averaged 31.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks and knocked down eight 3-pointers. He is currently leading the league in points , rebounds , blocks , usage rating and fouls drawn.

"Right now, it's Wembanyama and then everyone else at the top of the draft," one NBA scout told Yahoo Sports."The fact that he continues to play leading up to the draft just shows what sort of player he is. He's not backing down from any competition and he continues to get better as the season goes on."
