On January 18th Beijing time, the Spurs struck gold in the 2023 NBA draft by selecting Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick. This player has not only redefined the ceiling for NBA stars but continues to reshape people's understanding of basketball with every game. While most regard him as a once-in-a-century talent, did you know he has a younger brother?


In today's French U21 league game where Strasbourg defeated BCM, Victor Wembanyama's brother Oscar Wembanyama delivered an impressive performance, scoring 20 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and making 4 steals. He shot 9 of 13 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range, and 7 of 10 from the free-throw line. At 18 years old and standing 2.03 meters tall, Oscar is eligible for this year’s NBA draft. He is a versatile forward.

Although Oscar has not yet ranked in the top 30 on the 2026 NBA draft projections, if he decides to start his NBA career early, he is likely to be picked late in the second round. For the Spurs, holding three second-round picks in next year’s draft greatly increases the chance that the Wembanyama brothers could reunite in the "Alamo City" (San Antonio’s nickname), much more than fans might expect.
While Oscar has not made a final decision about entering the draft, this is definitely a development Spurs fans should watch closely. Just when you think the NBA has only one "alien visitor," another one might soon arrive in the league.
