Woj sees Victor Wembanyama as the greatest prospect ever.

Victor Wembanyama has been on everyone's radar since before the NBA season started, and he's been monitored by scouts, players and fans for his incredible talent. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently shared his thoughts on the Frenchman as the NBA draft lottery, which will determine where he will land, unfolds Tuesday night.

According to Woj, he sees Wemby as a great prospect who could change the league and the team that will draft him June 22. Ahead of the draft lottery, the NBA insider talked about how the young prospect isn't just limited to the league.

"This is the most highly-anticipated player to ever enter the NBA," Wojnarowski said. "This is maybe not only the greatest prospect in the NBA’s history, (he’s) maybe the greatest prospect in the history of team sports."

Wembanyama is the projected top pick in this year's NBA draft, and has been in the radar of lottery teams before the season started. The San Antonio Spurs have had their eye on the young big man as he used to play for ASVEL, a basketball club that Tony Parker bought in 2009.

Fans still see LeBron James as the greatest prospect ever

Before Wemby's arrival into the basketball scene, fans crowned LeBron James as the greatest prospect ever.

But with the Frenchman's rise, there have been some who are willing to pass the crown.

However, in a recent poll by Bleacher Report, many still see the four-time NBA champion as the greatest prospect of all-time. His longevity has exceeded the expectations of many who are in awe of what he's done on the court.
