Victor Wembanyama has signed a three-year contract with ASVEL Villeurbanne.

Wembanyama is widely considered the favorite to be picked first overall in the 2023 NBA draft.

“Victor is a unique player in the world, he’s the greatest prospect in French basketball over the past twenty years,” ASVEL president and former four-time NBA champion Tony Parker said, per the club. “He has everything to make a grat career and has the opportunity to be a future no. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. We’ll do everything to support his development, help his progress and help him achieve this goal.”

Wembanyama spent the last two seasons with Nanterre and had assignments with Pole France in France’s Third Division.

Vasilije Micic has emerged as one of the top players in Europe and his NBA rights are owned by the Oklahoma City Thunder following last year's trade with the Philadelphia 76ers involving Al Horford.

Micic was the 52nd overall pick in 2014 and currently plays for Anadolu Efes in Istanbul. Micic was MVP of the EuroLeague this season.

Micic and the Thunder each appear to prefer to wait until after the draft to make a decision on whether he will join the team.

Micic's agent, Misko Raznatovic, recently said he doesn't want him to have the same fate as Vassilis Spanoulis, who played sparingly in his one season in the NBA.

Ousmane Dieng has committed to become the first European prospect to join the New Zealand Breakers as part of the NBL's Next Stars program.

Dieng is the first European prospect to join the NBL's Next Stars program.

Dieng is currently the No. 14 prospect on ESPN's rankings for the 2022 draft.

Dieng was heavily recruited to play major college basketball and join the NBA's G-League Ignite program ahead of his entry into the 2022 NBA draft.
