EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Federic Donnadieu, Victor Wembanyama's first coach, has been invited by the French phenom to attend the NBA Draft in Brooklyn on Thursday, but she spoke to DailyMail.com ahead of the meeting to discuss the phenom. Donnadieu was serving as the technical director at Nanterre in Paris in 2014, when a lanky 10-year-old boy signed up to play for the Under-11s. 'Well, my first memory was when I saw him, and of course, for a 10-year-old boy, he was obviously already tall, but what I noticed most was that he had a lot of technical capability,' Donnadieu said.

Projected No. 1 (no.) Victor Wembanyama, the top pick of the LNB Pro A's championship series, lost Game 3 of the LNB Pro A's championship series 92-85. With 22 points, seven rebounds, and four blocks, Wembanyama put on a good showing, but it wasn't enough to keep his team from being swept. Game 3 - and 4 if they had won - were changed from a 4,000-seat venue to Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros, home to the French Open tennis championship, which has more than 14,000.

Presumptive No. 0 has no reason to complain. Victor Wembanyama, the top draft pick, led his team to victory in the LNB Pro A semifinals over his former team ASVEL on Sunday.

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. It's either way or not Wembanyama will feel the same way. The 14 teams in Tuesday's lottery aren't all positive, and that's by design. The lottery is supposed to enhance the league's bottom feeders by (slightly) deterring them from tanking their seasons in an attempt to land a top talent in the draft, such as Wembanyama.
