The San Antonio Spurs confirmed the least protected secret in sports when they chose French phenomWembanyama, 19, is considered the most coveted draft prospect since LeBron James in 2003.
The Overtime Elite products are the first brothers to be selected in the first round of the same draft since Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris in 2011. The 6-foot-9 forward, who said he models his game after Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George, led Alabama to 31 wins and a No. 1 seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament. “Obviously there were two players that were heavily considered,” Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak said Thursday night without referencing Henderson.
Darius Miles, formerly an Alabama basketball player, and Michael Davis were charged with capital murder in the shooting. Police testimony included allegations Miller answered Miles’ request to bring him the weapon ultimately used in the shooting. The Portland Trail Blazers didn’t blink when the 19-year-old Henderson, rated as the best pure point guard in the draft, was available with the third overall pick.
“I’m excited to be a Rocket… just playing with these athletic guys,” Amen said. “I feel like my best brand of basketball is running. We’re a young team.” At No. 6, the Orlando Magic chose Arkansas guard Anthony Black. The Indiana Pacers followed by picking French forward Bilal Coulibaly, who was a teammate of Wembanyama on the Metropolitans 92. The Washington Wizards took forward Jarace Walker at No. 8.
Juwan Howard, the current Michigan coach and father of Jett, went fifth overall to the then-Washington Bullets that year, and Jalen Rose was selected 13th by the Denver Nuggets.
