1. San Antonio Spurs

It would be an amazing story if the San Antonio Spurs won this year’s NBA Draft Lottery for several reasons. For one, Victor Wembanyama playing for one of the best developmental franchises in the NBA would only give him the best possible environment to succeed in the NBA. The last thing you would want is for a generational talent to not be in a position to live up to his potential.
Beyond that, the Spurs are a team that has been in desperate search of a new face of the franchise ever since the team traded Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors nearly four years ago. Then there’s the other storyline of Gregg Popovich getting to coach one more generational talent before his career is over.
