PSG star Kylian Mbappe was present on Tuesday to cheer on fellow Frenchman Victor Wembanyama as the anticipated No. 1 pick in next month’s NBA Draft played his last regular season game for the Metropolitans 92.
For the forward, who has scored 26 league goals this year, Wembanyama put on a show with 22 points, nine rebounds and two blocks as his team won 93-85 against Paris Basketball.
After the Mets 92 finished second in the league, the 7-foot-5 phenom will compete in the LNB Pro A playoffs before moving to the United States to begin his NBA career.
It is widely expected that the 19-year-old will be selected with the first overall pick, with the only question being who will be at the wheel to choose the generational talent.
That question will be answered Tuesday night during the NBA Draft lottery in Chicago.

Victor Wembanyama responds Tuesday-evening after a dunk vs. Paris Basketball to a win
According to the numbers, Wembanyama has the best chance of finishing with the Pistons, Rockets or Spurs as each team has a 14 percent chance of getting the No. 1 pick.
Also in strong contention are the Hornets (12.5 percent) and Portland (10.5 percent).
Going into Tuesday’s game, Wembanyama averaged 21.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists on 46.8 percent shooting from the field.
Numbers aside, however, the teenager has displayed a goal-scoring ability and ball skills that are wholly unusual for someone of his stature.
Regardless of who wins the lottery, Wembanyama will hear his name – probably first – on June 22 when the NBA Draft is held.
The NBA Draft lottery is Tuesday night at 8pm ET.
