2023 NBA Draft Lottery Results: Wembanyama a Heavy Betting Favorite to Be No. 1 Pick

The 2023 NBA Draft Lottery could very well alter the direction of the league's future, given how highly touted a particular prospect is.

Victor Wembanyama -- a 7'5", 19-year-old prospect from France -- is listed at -20000 to be the number-one overall pick based on the NBA Draft betting odds at FanDuel Sportsbook.

That works out to an implied probability of 99.5%.

It's not hard to understand why from an on-court perspective.

That potential is strongly coveted, and he's heading to an organization that can maximize his potential.

And it's not just his on-court potential that is appealing.

So, yeah, there might be no bigger swerve in NBA history than if the San Antonio Spurs do anything other than draft Wembanyama first overall.

Here is how the rest of the NBA Draft Lottery concluded.

1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Charlotte Hornets
3. Portland Trail Blazers
4. Houston Rockets
5. Detroit Pistons
6. Orlando Magic
7. Indiana Pacers
8. Washington Wizards
9. Utah Jazz
10. Dallas Mavericks
11. Orlando Magic (via the Chicago Bulls)
12. Oklahoma City Thunder
13. Toronto Raptors
14. New Orleans Pelicans

Wembanyama in San Antonio

Wembanyama has his sights set on a ring for the Spurs -- as quickly as possible.

But even after the lottery, the Spurs' NBA Finals odds are +50000 for the 2023-24 season, tied for last in the NBA.
