If there were any chance of the picks that will follow the certain selection of Victor Wembanyama with the first pick to be overshadowed, the potential for deal-making on Thursday could take care of that.
That will not change the likelihood that the 2023 NBA draft will become known as the Wemby draft. He is that sort of a generational talent, though other teams at the top of the draft, including the Rockets with the fourth pick, hope their selections will carve out memorable careers of their own. On draft night, however, the buzz could be about the way trades shake things up. There are deals possible before and after the Rockets’ second pick, the 20th of the first round, trades that could impact their strategies when weighing who to pick or whether to deal the pick, too.1.

Just for fun, NBA commissioner Adam Silver should announce “We have a trade.” And then reveal some deal of picks in the 20s. More likely, however, he will know his announcement will someday become part of many retrospectives on Wembanyama’s career, presumed to be can’t-miss for superstardom. The Spurs will overlook his wayward first pitch in the Bronx on Tuesday and make him the latest certain first pick big man in their history.
