Early look at a potential lottery pick for next year’s NBA Draft, Alexandre Sarr, brother to OKC’s Olivier Sarr. Alex is currently 18 years old (19 by draft day), 7’1” with a 7’4” wingspan, around 217 lbs, and is from France (🇫🇷).
He is looking pretty interesting as a prospect for a young team like ours, and especially if we are to move Jerami Grant later in the season like may be appropriate to do. Rim protection, rebounding, put-backs, dunking in the paint, and a little bit slow if not solid looking three point shot are some of what stands out to me thus far.
Here’s a few videos to see and learn more about Alex.
