A 7-foot-4 basketball sensation poised to replace wine as France’s top export, Victor Wembanyama is the biggest NBA Draft Lottery prize in more than a decade.

Dubbed a ‘generational talent’ by none other than LeBron James, Wembanyama is athletic, skilled, enormous, and still only 19. So when the league determines its first pick on Tuesday night in New York, the winning team will undoubtedly consider itself very lucky.

Whether or not Wembanyama will feel the same way is a different question entirely.

The 14 teams in Tuesday’s lottery aren’t good, generally speaking, and that’s by design. The lottery is intended to improve the league’s bottom feeders, while (slightly) deterring them from tanking their seasons in an effort to land a top talent in the draft, such as Wembanyama.

The following is Dailymail.com’s look at Wembanyama’s 14 potential future teams, how he’d fit, and what these clubs have to offer the NBA’s biggest prospect in a generation.

Detroit Pistons (14 percent chance at the first selection)

The Pistons don’t have a head coach after Dwane Casey’s departure, but what’s more concerning is the team’s struggles to build a young core after drafting guards Killian Hayes, Cade Cunningham, and Jaden Ivey over the last three years.

Another former top pick, Cunningham missed most of the 2022-23 season with a leg injury, and previously disappointed as a shooter, making only 30.9 percent of his 3-point attempts in 76 career games.

Ivey, who was recently named to the NBA’s All-Rookie Second Team, also struggled to shoot in his first season, making only 41.6 percent of his field-goal attempts, while turning the ball over on a whopping 17.2 percent of his possessions.

Hayes, an American who was raised in France, has battled his similar woes, making only 27.4 percent of his 3-point attempts for his career, while turning the ball over three times a game.

What’s good about Detroit is that the franchise plays in a new building, Little Caesars Arena, practices at a new training facility, and is something of a blank slate. So if the Pistons were to win the lottery, they could then hire a coach that would complement Wembanyama’s versatile game.

Best of all, the Pistons already boast a young center in Jalen Duren – a 6-foot-11, 250-pound bruiser, who can man the middle, thereby allowing the shot-blocking Wembanyama to freelance on defense while avoiding punishing contact in the paint.

It’s an attractive destination for Wembanyama, so long as he can tolerate a winter climate that ranges from ‘frigid’ to ‘Arctic.’

LAST TIME THEY HAD THE TOP PICK: Cunningham, 2021

Houston Rockets (14 percent)

A large, diverse market, warm (occasionally suffocating) weather, and the absence of any state income taxes make the Rockets another intriguing possibility.

Unlike the Pistons, the Rockets have settled their coaching situation by hiring Ime Udoka, a former journeyman NBA forward who guided the Celtics to the NBA Finals in his first season as a head coach before being suspended and fired for an inappropriate affair with a female staffer.

Udoka has built his reputation on defense, while helping to develop a number of NBA centers, including Boston’s Robert Williams and Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid.

What’s less clear is the Rockets’ roster, which is comprised of young players of varying ability.

Second-year guard Jalen Green was strong in 2022-23, averaging 22.1 points a game, while having an up-and-down shooting performance.

Turkish center Alperen Sengun also played well this season, averaging 14.8 points and nine rebounds a game, while rookie Tari Eason earned All-NBA Rookie Second Team honors.

Unfortunately for Houston, third-overall pick Jabari Smith was inconsistent as a rookie, making only 30.7 percent of his 3-point attempts, while struggling to look anything like the player who starred as an Auburn freshman in 2021-22.

The best part about potentially playing in Houston would be the chance to work with franchise legend Hakeem Olajuwon, who still owns a Texas ranch and previously helped train Rockets center Yao Ming around 2007. Even if Wembanyama doesn’t stay in Houston long term, the chance to learn from a Hall of Famer like The Dream would be a tremendous opportunity that other teams simply can’t offer.

LAST TIME THEY HAD THE TOP PICK: Yao, 2002

San Antonio Spurs (14 percent)

The Spurs can’t offer Wembanyama the tutelage of Olajuwon, but the team does boast Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich and franchise legend Tim Duncan is a former San Antonio assistant, who has worked with several team centers in past years.

What’s more, foreign players such as Manu Ginobili and France’s Tony Parker have thrived in San Antonio, which ranks as one of the NBA’s smallest markets.

But even though they’re far removed from their five title-winning teams, the cupboard isn’t completely bare in San Antonio.

Young, two-way players like Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell give the Spurs some reliable complements to Wembanyama, while promising power forward Jeremy Sochan has the athleticism to thrive alongside a dominant big man.

Best of all, the Spurs are projected to have $60million in cap space, and could use Wembanyama to attract some well-established stars if they win the lottery.

If there is a problem with San Antonio, though, it’s the future of Popovich, who is now 74 and could decide to retire within the next few seasons.

LAST TIME THEY HAD THE TOP PICK: Duncan, 1997

Charlotte Hornets (12.5 percent)

Michael Jordan’s unsuccessful run as the Hornets’ majority owner appears to be coming to an end with the revelation that he’s negotiating with minority partner Gabe Plotkin for his controlling stake of the team.

Whether or not that will have a major impact on the club remains to be seen.

Under Jordan, the Hornets have been a reliable bottom feeder, and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.

LaMelo Ball, the team’s biggest reason for optimism, missed most of the season with a fractured ankle, but if he’s healthy, the 6-foot-7 playmaker would be an intriguing complement for Wembanyama.

Charlotte may not be the sexiest market for a fledgling millionaire to spend his hefty pay checks, but if given the chance, Wembanyama and Ball could make the Hornets one of the NBA’s cool, young teams.

LAST TIME THEY HAD THE TOP PICK: Larry Johnson, 1991

Portland Trail Blazers (10.5 percent)

The Trail Blazers might offer Wembanyama the best chance to win now, given the presence of future Hall of Famer Damian Lillard, veteran center Jusuf Nurkic, and talented, young guards such as Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe.

But a closer look at the team reveals some potential pitfalls for Wembanyama in Portland.

For one, Lillard has already voiced his concerns about rebuilding around younger players.

‘That’s not what I’m interested in,’ the 32-year-old Lillard told reporters in March. ‘That’s what the frustrating part of it is. Talking about what’s gonna happen next season. And us ”building,” that’s not what I’m here to do, especially at this stage of my career.’

Head coach Chauncey Billups is 60-104 in two seasons and could be on the hotseat if the Blazers fail to show significant signs of improvement.

Nurkic has battled injury problems for years, and if that continues, Wembanyama would have to shift between center and power forward, depending on the Bosnian’s health at any given time.

Of course, the Blazers could build around Wembanyama by trading Lillard and Nurkic for picks in June’s draft or future selections, but there are no guarantees that would help matters for a young player looking to establish himself.

LAST TIME THEY HAD THE TOP PICK: Greg Oden, 2007

Orlando Magic (9 percent)

With German forward Franz Wagner and reigning rookie of the year Paolo Banchero, an American-Italian dual citizen, the Magic would have a promising European frontcourt alongside Wembanyama.

The biggest area of concern with the team is on the perimeter, where Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony have struggled to gel for two seasons.

The good news for Orlando is that with Wembanyama, 24-year-old center Wendell Carter Jr. would become expendable, and could be traded for backcourt depth.

Better yet, the Magic are expected to around $60m in cap space heading into the 2023-24 season, which could be used to add a veteran guard such as James Harden, Kyrie Irving, D’Angelo Russell, or Fred VanVleet.

LAST TIME THEY HAD THE TOP PICK: Banchero, 2022
