Victor Wembanyama did not hide his excitement after the Spurs won this year’s NBA Draft Lottery, securing the right to draft the French prodigy.

His immediate response was saying that he can’t wait to win a championship in San Antonio. But NBA legend Charles Barkley warned that winning a title is far from easy, especially with this Spurs team which is likely to miss the playoffs altogether next year.

“The Spurs aren’t close to winning a championship, young fella,” Barkley said on SiriusXM NBA Radio. “Y’all probably ain’t gonna make the playoffs next year.

“So this notion just because you’re getting all this hype and you’ve been kicking ass in France all these years, that don’t mean nothing when he steps on the court next year.”
