Victor Wembanyama threw a baseball Tuesday like you might expect of a roughly 7-foot-4-inch guy from a country that doesn’t play a lot of the sport. (Watch the videos below.)
But on Thursday, that won’t matter one bit because Wembanyama, a 19-year-old basketball star from France, will almost certainly be chosen first in the NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs.
He later chucked a ball into the stands as a souvenir, perhaps with a little too much mustard.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was either impressed, terrified or tickled by Wembanyama’s throws.
We’re guessing that Wembanyama will look a lot better in a San Antonio Spurs uniform, which is likely what he’ll be wearing to begin his NBA career.
He’s considered a generational talent by some. As long as he never throws another pitch on the baseball diamond, more power to him on the basketball court.
