Coveted Victor Wembanyama brings tension to NBA draft lottery

The French basketball player expressed his desire to represent his nation in the next Games to be held in Paris.

Olympic gold is the goal for French basketball sensation Victor Wembanyama in Paris in 2024.

Speaking to L’Equipe, the 19-year-old rookie for the San Antonio Spurs reiterated his resolve to represent his country at the Games in his hometown the following year.

Wembanyama remarked, “It would be a great story to perform well at the Olympics.” “I’ll be present at the Olympics, and there’s no other goal than gold.”

The top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft chose to focus on getting ready for his first NBA season with the Spurs rather than playing for the French team that placed 18th at the FIBA World Cup.

Wembanyama had previously declared that his priorities were the national team and the club.

The star’s addition to the Olympic squad is expected to come as a welcome boost as Les Bleus looks to improve their Tokyo 2020 silver medal in 2021.
