    NBA fans got a glimpse of the future with Tuesday's head-to-head battle between Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson.

    The matchup paired France's Metropolitans 92 against the G League Ignite (available on the new NBA app), but all eyes were on Wembanyama and Henderson as arguably the top two prospects in the 2023 NBA draft.

    Wembanyama led the way with 37 points and is already getting high praise from social media:

    There's no question, Wembanyama is the best prospect since LeBron

    Henderson was not completely overshadowed, however, totaling 28 points and nine assists while showing why is he nearly as highly touted going into the season.

    Scoot Henderson's playmaking is sensational.

    I've seen all I need to see.<br><br>1. Victor Wembanyama<br>2. Scoot Henderson<br>3-14: You should have tanked harder and/or hoped for better lottery luck.

    Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnorNBA

    Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson have more than surpassed the hype. I'm PUMPED and JACKED

    Warren Brown @CoachWBrown

    Victor Wembanyama &amp; Scoot Henderson may be the best 1-2 draft picks in a long time. They are special.

    ESPN's Jonathan Givony lists Victor Wembanyama as the No. 1 player in the 2023 class, followed by Henderson at No. 2. Based on what they showed Tuesday in Henderson, Nevada, it will be difficult for anyone else to crack the top two.
