Victor Wembanyama, France's top export, is poised to replace wine as France's top export, a 7-foot-4 basketball sensation. He's athletic, skilled, vast, and yet only 19, so the winning team will undoubtedly be considered very lucky as the league selects its first pick on Tuesday night in New York.

After declining to re-sign outgoing Stephen Silas, the Houston Rockets will interview scandalized former Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka for their vacancy. Udoka is one of many candidates for the 22-60 Rockets, who are still rebuilding around shooting guard Jalen Green, center Alperen Sengun, and power forward Jabari Smith Jr. Victor Wembanyama, a 7-foot-4 French phenom, has a 14-percent chance of winning the NBA Draft lottery and landing prize. Shams Charania, Udoka, Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson, ex-Lakers coach Frank Vogel, ex-Hornets coach James Borrego, and Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin are among the candidates for replacing Silas in Houston, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. In his first season as head coach, Udoka, who is also a candidate for the Pistons, led the Celtics to the NBA Finals.
