With the NBA draft right around the corner, it's no secret that the dominant 7-foot-5 star is expected to make an immediate impact on the San Antonio Spurs.

In the wake of the draft lottery seeing the Spurs receive the No. 1 pick, Tim Duncan agreed to re-join Gregg Popovich's staff to work with the young star. Considering how dominant Wembanyama has been up to this point, the opportunity to work with Duncan could likely take his game to the next level.
