Victor Wembanyama’s long frame and versatile game makes him the top big man in this year’s NBA draft. The 19-year-old Frenchman has strong perimeter skills and the size at 7-foot-3 to score over defenders. The teenager is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday night’s draft by the San Antonio Spurs. Other than Wembanyama, the list of top big men mostly features complementary players. Duke one-and-done center Dereck Lively II stands out for his potential as a rim protector. And Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis is drawing attention for his versatility and athleticism after a productive college career.
