Former San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan hardly looks like the player we became used to over the best part of two decades.

As one fan rightly joked, he looked like an African studies professor.

Another thing standing out here is the fact that Wemby makes David Robinson look small. It’s going to be interesting to see how his first season as a pro in the NBA unfolds as he’s one of the most intriguing picks since LeBron James was drafted back in 2003.
