The San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the first pick of Thursday’s NBA Draft, affirming what has been a foregone conclusion for more than a month.

The generational talent had been pegged to be the first overall pick for the past year and slotted to go to San Antonio since the Spurs won the league’s draft lottery May 16.

And now it’s official.

The 19-year-old French phenom is the third player to be selected first overall by the Spurs, joining David Robinson in 1987 and Tim Duncan in 1997 – both Hall of Famers and NBA champions.

Wembanyama makes the transition to the NBA after completing his career in the French League last Thursday with his team, Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92, losing in the championship series.

In 33 regular-season games this season, he averaged 21.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks.

Considered by many to be the best draft prospect since LeBron James in 2003, Wembanyama can seemingly do it all on the court.

Officially listed at 7-foot-3, he is a phenomenal rim protector, using his long arms to block and alter opponents’ shots.

He can score in the paint and battle for rebounds down low but can also then step out to the perimeter to knock down a 3-pointer.

An adept dribbler and passer, he also handles the ball like a point guard, something seemingly unheard of for someone of his size.

Possessing the rare combination of size, ball-handling and shooting, Wembanyama is expected to make an immediate impact in the NBA for a Spurs team that finished 22-60 last season to miss the playoffs for the fourth year in a row.

By going first overall, he’s the first non-college freshman to be selected No. 1 since 2009, when the Los Angeles Clippers drafted Blake Griffin – a sophomore out of Oklahoma University.
