the pick is in the Washington Wizards have made a selection in the 2024 draft I’m tanra batist and we are joined by Brandon Scott from blocked on Wizards to breakdown the Wizards selecting Alex SAR with the number two pick presented by LinkedIn LinkedIn jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to faster post your job for free at linkedin.com locked onnv so Brandon in the last couple days there was this back and forth of whether or not Zachary rashay was going to go number one or Alex SAR ultimately rashay goes one SAR goes too were you surprised that he was there at number two and that the Wizards decided to go with him I’m not surprised but I am if that makes sense because you know there’s gonna be a lot of smoking mirrors this time of the year with the draft fre see and the trade market so I know that with the the Hawks held all the cards so you know I was kind of expecting anything but Alexa when he made it known that he wanted to come to DC he liked what was going on DC kind of gave an indicator that it was going to be The Pick of two and I’m very excited because I mean his age is intangibles very excited with this pick yeah I think that it he’s an interesting one because he’s one of those guys to your point where he could potentially fit into this Wizard’s front court early and kind of make a splash so where do you see him kind of being able to fit in because of the skills that he brings to the table to make an immediate impact I think that would have to um kind of answer that would rely on future moves because right now kman is is the starting BR forward and you saw that Den AIO was sent out of town uh for the 14th pick so they’re trying to clear a lot of cap room and and send a lot of these veterans off the roster and start a youth movement because we’re still early on in the rebuild status and you know Alex star he’s 19 so he does fits the timeline long term but youth movement because if you you know other factors look at Brian Keefe was the head coach so you know he’s a developmental coach him and David Vanderpool the top assistants so right now development is the name of the game so that’s but you know Alex har is goingon to do well I mean where he projects again kind of depends on what direction to go with Kyle kman if they trade Kyle kman he definitely slots in at the four because he’s a 7 foot one but he definitely prefers the four which I think is very intriguing so um if we move Kyle kosman I definitely see him being our next uh starting power forward and what do you like the most about SAR because he’s one of those guys to your point that bring some things to the table but kind of want to know if you feel like it’s more of a ceiling for him like he’s a high ceiling High floor what what do you feel is is his upside I think the big thing about him that I like is versatility I mean if you look at the Washington Wizards uh we have a lot of guys who are versatile you know Bel Kabal can play the two to three to four he can guard all five versatil he’s the name of the game you know s foot one you know probably 20 year years ago 15 years ago you would say he’d be a center but now you’re a lot more versatile players now you know he can play at four he played at five you know his shot will develop you know his shot is definitely something that’s very raw in the process but his his shots there but he checks all the boxes interior defense interior offense rebounding I mean he just fits so many boxes for the Wizards yeah and more more importantly and maybe most importantly Brandon like you said he’s excited to go to the district and be able to make some impact with this Washington Wizards team for more on the Wizards subscribe to lock on Wizards on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast and for more on SAR let’s get an inside look on his path to the NBA Alex SAR is a 7 foot1 modern NBA big hailing from France many people believe sar’s athleticism combined with his offensive potential positioned him to be a top two pick in this year’s draft I am James Barlo from the locked on NBA Big Board podcast Alex SAR has the potential to play either the power forward or the center position the 19-year-old last played for the Perth wildcast of the NBL in Australia where he averaged 9.6 points 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in just 18 minutes per contest prior to the NBL he helped France win the bronze of the 202 FEA under 17 world champion shooting World Cup and then silver at the 2023 FEA under 19 World Cup his current NBA player accompass Evan Moy Alex SAR is expected to have an immediate impact on an NBA roster for more on alexar and all things NBA related follow And subscribe to the locked on NBA bigboard podcast on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast and for continuing coverage of the 2024 NBA draft subscribe to lock on NBA on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day
