Victor Wembanyama Among 13 NBA Rookies to Sign With Nike

Nike announced its newest class of NBA signees on Monday morning, highlighted by No. 1 pick pick and San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama and Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller, the No. 2 pick.

Wembanyama is one of the most highly-anticipated prospects in recent years. The 7-foot-4 center caught the eye of NBA scouts with his dominance in the EuroLeague as he led ASVEL to a Pro A title. He then played for Metropolitans 92 in the LNB Pro A in France, where he led the league with 21.6 points and 3.0 blocks per game.

As for the No. 2 pick, Miller was one of the best players in college basketball last season at Alabama. The 6-foot-9 forward was the first player in conference history to win SEC Freshman of the Year, SEC Player of the Year and SEC Tournament MVP. He led all Division I freshmen in scoring last year with 18.8 points per game.

The class features five other players who were picked in the top 10 of this year's draft, including Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson (fourth pick) and his twin brother, Ausar Thompson, who was picked fifth by the Detroit Pistons.

The Thompson twins took an unconventional path to the league via Overtime Elite. Per Boardroom, when they were just nine years old, they wrote out their hopes and dreams for the future. One goal: "Get a shoe company." After going back-to-back in the draft, the brothers have achieved another dream together with their Nike deals.

The rest of the class is filled out by Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black, Los Angeles Clippers forward Kobe Brown, Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly, Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George, New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins, Dallas Mavericks forwards Dereck Lively II and Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Denver Nuggets forward Julian Strawther, and Oklahoma City Thunder Cason Wallace.
