It is four weeks from the NBA Draft and the projected No. 1 pick, Victor Wembanyama, is still playing meaningful and competitive basketball over in France. Wembanyama led his French team, Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92, in an elimination Game 3 win over Cholet to advance to the LNB Pro A semifinals where Wembanyama will face his old team, ASVEL, in a best-of-five series.

The 7-foot-4 do-it-all center had a quiet first half and didn't attempt a single shot from 3-point range as the Mets 92 took a comfortable 18-point lead to start the third quarter. In the second half, he looked hesitant from behind the arc and only attempted one stepback 3-pointer, which he missed. The midrange game is where he shined and had incredible touch around the rim when the defense would collapse.
Wembanyama and his teammate, Bilal Coulibaly, are two of the only draft prospects still a month outside of the NBA Draft on June 22. Coulibaly, a 6-6 shooting guard with a 7-1 wingspan, is starting to come alive in the playoffs and strung together a few good plays in the previous game with a putback dunk and a tough corner 3 with a defender in his face.
"There’s a correlation between youth and upside, historically speaking," one NBA scout told Yahoo Sports in March."You expect inconsistencies at 19 or 20, but the combination of youth and production is the best-case scenario. Youth, in general, suggests upside."
