CNN —Victor Wembanyama, a 7-foot-4 Frenchman who some NBA commentators think could be a generational talent, was the No. 1 pick by the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Draft on Thursday night. “It’s a tough league,” Wembanyama told draft broadcaster ESPN through tears after he was selected. G-League player Scoot Henderson, a 6-foot-2 guard, was the third pick, going to the Portland Trail Blazers. The 6-foot-7 brothers are the first siblings to be picked in the top five (or top 10, even) of the NBA Draft in the same year.

There once was a time in college basketball when the best teams had locker rooms full of veterans, while the best high school prospects would skip right over college for the professional ranks. It was true in the late 1990s and, unexpectedly, it’s true again in 2023. This season there is a glut of upperclassmen, like Gonzaga senior Drew Timme and Houston senior Marcus Sasser, sticking around campus for extra years. At the same time, the top young talent, like identical twins Amen and Ausar Thompson, has been siphoned off by alternative leagues, like the NBA’s developmental G-League Ignite and Overtime Elite.
