Sarr ??



Perfect Fit or Mysterious Project Player? I’m struggling to see past the hype.

    He’s by far my favorite option for us. I also think that we’re likely the best fit for him, since both Melo and Miller are A+ shooters and good pick and roll ball handlers. This team desperately needs a difference maker on defense, and, at minimum, he’d provide that. Any offensive output is just a bonus.

    He’s incredibly quick and fluid for a 7 footer, and is highly likely to be able to guard 2-5. Beyond just his versatility, his overall defensive timing is very good. He’s definitely a work in progress on offense, but shows some promise of being able to use his speed and handle to get to the rim. While his 3PT% has definitely been bad (29.8%), he’s also got a 70%+ FT percentage and has improved his mid-range arsenal over the course of the season. Both of those things suggest that he could develop into someone at least that needs to be defended on the perimeter. At the very least, he has better indicators that he’ll learn to shoot than prospects like Ron Holland (24% 3PT) and Matas Buzelis (27.3% 3PT & 67.9% FT).

    If either Sarr or Mark Williams is able to become a 33%+ 3PT shooter or is able to become a knockdown mid-range shooter, then they should be able to play together for long stretches. Even if neither of them becomes a decent shooter, Sarr still gives us Center insurance in case Mark’s back issues persist. LaMelo and Miller are also great enough shooters that we could probably survive fine with 2 complete non-shooters (Sarr and Mark) on the floor next to them, as long as we get a decent shooter at the other spot.

    Best of all, we’d never need to see Nick Richards get minutes again!

    Pick best available whoever they think that is. Team isnt good enough to care about fit. Mark isnt healthy or good enough to require them to work around him

    Definitely who I want most but I would be happy with Reed Sheppard as well

    If we get him let’s hope he goes down the JJJ route rather than the Marvin Bagley route
