Presumptive No. 1 overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama helped led his team to victory in the LNB Pro A semifinals over his former team ASVEL on Sunday.
The 7-foot-4 phenom grabbed 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists, five blocks, and a steam in Metropolitans 92’s 71-69 win.
Wembanyama used to play for ASVEL, a team currently coached by the Basketball Hall-of-Fame bound Tony Parker.
Parker and Wembanyama are about to have more in common than a motherland and an affiliation with ASVEL – as the French youngster is likely headed to Parker’s former team, the San Antonio Spurs.
San Antonio won the NBA’s draft lottery last month, gifting them the number one overall pick and the first shot to select Wembanyama.

Metropolitans 92 now move on to the championship series – a best-of-five matchup against AS Monaco Basket.
Monaco are led by former first-round draft pick Donatas Motiejūnas, who was selected 20th overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2011.
This Monaco team has already won the French Basketball Cup over ASVEL earlier this season and are looking to do the double with a league title here.
