Wemby was taken No.1 overall by the San Antonio Spurs on a historic night at Barclays Center.

But it was Eve who had NBA fans talking on social media, with one dubbing her “the real No.1 pick.”

Born in December 2001, Eve stands 6-foot-1 and is a former EuroLeague Women’s star.

She currently plays for Monaco in the second-tier LF2 league, last season averaging 6.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Wembanyama’s mother Elodie de Fautereau is a basketball coach and former player.

While Eve has represented France at both under-16 and under-20 levels in the 3×3 category.

In 2021, she was a member of the Women’s European Challengers title-winning team.

She recently took R&R on the French Riviera, posing in a yellow two-piece under bright blue skies.

Fans can’t get enough of the talented family, with one saying on draft night: “Eve can hoop just like her brother.”

And a second added: “Superstars good luck to you all.”

While the 21-year-old documented her whirlwind New York trip on Instagram to her 21,000 followers.

She hit up all the Manhatten sights, including Times Square and Top of the Rock.

Later, she wrote: “‘Can’t believe this ain’t a dream.”

TV cameras swooped on the Wembanyama family when they took up their seats for the draft ceremony.

Joined in the Big Apple by brother Oscar, the siblings broke down as Wembanyama was selected by the Spurs.

“It’s amazing, we are all so proud,” an emotional Eve said.

“We are so happy for [Victor], we are happy for the family, friends, everything for basketball – it is so amazing.”
