The 2023 NBA draft was full of excitement and surprises as a new set of stars entered the league. There was no doubt about who was going to be selected 1st overall on Thursday night. The San Antonio Spurs got their next generational superstar in the form of Victor Wembanyama. But fans noticed something else on the night as well that is being highlighted after the draft. Wembanyama was accompanied by his sister on draft night. While some fans fawned over her looks, others are now losing their minds over what she can do on a basketball court.

Wembanyama became the Spurs’ first 1st overall pick since NBA legend Tim Duncan. Everyone knows how that turned out for the franchise. They’ll be hoping for something similar from the French sensation.
