Yahoo Sports NBA Twitter reacts to Spurs drafting Victor Wembanyama: ‘San Antonio is back’
It’s official. Victor Wembanyama is the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Wemby was selected with the first pick by the San Antonio Spurs and is now ready to compete at the highest level.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the No. 1 overall pick, alien Victor Wembanyama.
For the Spurs' sake, I just hope Wemby proves to be mentally and physically tough enough. This is a grown man's league, closer to football than most people think.

The San Antonio Spurs have officially chosen Victor Wembanyama with the first pick of the 2023 NBA Draft.
He has become the 14th foreign-born prospect selected number one overall, and the first since Deandre Ayton.

No way do I think Wembanyama is a better prospect than LeBron was coming out of high school.

You know Wembanyama was a done deal at #1 when Woj and Shams didn't even bother trying to beat each other to "break" it. AK

Wembanyama is just too tall. It feels indulgent. He’s like a physical billionaire, give some of it away.

Very concerning to see Victor Wembanyama cry like a little bitch after being drafted 1st overall.
I want a REAL MAN leading my franchise. A real throwback like John Wayne or Gary Cooper.
Congrats Spurs fans, you got French Tacko Fall.
