An incredible french prospect, 7’+, who had two incredible games against G-League Ignite, and who might be drafted top 5 in next year draft… Alex Sarr.
​
Season is long, but in this morose night (it’s 5AM here in France), if you crave more tall young french guys, I’ll encourage you to take a look at Alexandre Sarr. An 18yo, 7’1″ center from France, playing in Australia.
Funny enough he really had two good games against G-League Ignite this September.
[Game 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwTuF_e2jrQ) : 17 pts, 7 reb, 6 blk
[Game 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SdEmvgY9is) : 26 pts, 10 reb, 3 ast, 6 blk, 3 stl

**So ? How about two elite french defenders ?**

Sarr is good but there’s no way im taking him over Collier or Topic. This team needs an elite young PG prospect
If we’re in the Top 5, yeah, take the BPA.
Otherwise, I’m looking more at offensive engines. I am pretty happy with surrounding Wemby with cheap rotation front court mates that let you shift based on matchup. Up against the Nuggets? Collins at the 5 with Wemby helping sounds pretty okay. Up against the Thunder? Wemby at the 5 and run another wing. That’s the best way to build around Wemby.
Oh, also, way too early to be talking about specific draft prospects, we don’t have a clue where we’ll be drafting yet.
With how this teams shaping up anything helps
Yaasss. Then we can realize the true plan of recreating the Monstars. Nobody under 6’7″
He has been balling.
Like the folks have stated already, unless all the top guard/ wing talent is gone at the spot we get it wouldn’t hurt to get him.
We definitely need a quality point guard, who can attack the lane, finish, or set others up, isn’t a total liability on defense and can hit an open 3 at a decent percentage.
Cason Wallace is playing solid for OKC so far this season. I hoped we would’ve traded up in the draft ti get him to play with Victor this season.
