Atlanta dodged a big one. Thanks for not wanting to play for us.
I don’t see him put a lot of muscle and I he’s struggling to create for himself
HE GOES WHAT
Yikes feel bad for ya drafting a bust
Alex Sarr will be a bust. And it’s clear as day. He is not aggressive enough and quite frankly not no where good enough to be the number 2 pick. Trash pick.
He'll be fine. He pressed a little, and has to figure out big guys like Clingan, he'll get there. I hope he stops shooting more than three threes a game and just dunks
That Pitt connection #H2P
victor wembanyama struggled during the summer league last year give him time.
I think Sarr looks more lost than anything else. He will benefit from some veteran leadership and someone to get in his ass
Thank God he was so arrogant and turned down the Atl.
He knew he wasn’t a number 1 pick and didn’t want that number 1 draft pick smoke
Lmaooo he's soooo stinky
Who’s that Canadian dude Cleveland drafted? Oh yea Anthony Bennet!!! That’s who we got all over again
All you Atlanta fans tight cuz nobody want to play in ya bum azz city. Luka or Sarr. Yeah Wizards ain’t win a chip, our nationals have, our commanders have, our capitals have, he’ll even our nba 2k league team won more chips then ya bums 🤣. Nelly said it best nobody wins in Atlanta, Ask Brady if I’m lying 😤. Keep playing with my nigga Sarr, come back here in a year when he win rookie of the year.
We dodge a bullet in ATL
Struggling is an under statement. Yikes
Lol, lol, lol
He needs to stay in the paint & play center. That'll help his efficiency
as european…i watched all his youth fiba tournaments..and he was OK,but never in millions years i ever though like damm thats crazy talent,future NBA top 5 pick
We watched the passing of the torch tonight….Tony Snell to Alex Sarr.
He loses the ball once someone touches him. Boy is weak af.
You thought every first round pick would turn out to be deni. 😂
Second pick in the draft shouldn’t be this raw. Even Giannis was drafted 15th not 2nd because he was raw.
I know it's early. But you take Edey at two. By far the safer pick. And does have a dominant inside presence and touch you can't teach.
About a month ago, Brandon invited Ed to attend as a guest on a podcast called "1st Round Mock Draft featuring special guest The Real Ed Oliver!". I've written extensively about Alex Sarr's professional progress and why he's a risky pick, so I'm not surprised by his performance in the summer league.
Bottom line: Sarr left competitive situations with Real Madrid and later the Ignite and ended up lounging in the Australian League, losing a year or more of development time, hence he was picked based solely on potential.
He was a big gamble at number two. The Wizards fans will have to endure plenty of hiccups with this guy until he develops, if at all.
The big guy should attend Hakeem Alajawon workouts. Invest
Everybody knew this draft was weaker than Walmart toilet paper so why are we overreacting to a developmental player in a developmental draft? Did someone else from this draft already win ROY and I missed it? Give the kid a chance to succeed before labeling him a failure.
Bub and George are decent pick ups though.
As a Hawks fan, I am interested in Rishacher, Sarr, and Clingon 😊😊😊
To me whats concerning about Sarr is his attitude. He already knows he is bricking but still took 7 threes. He knows he is ice cold bit still jacked up middies instead of taking it strong to the hole. It seemed like he didn't give a crap about winning the game just wanted to put up shots no matter what. That's crazy.
Can we take this pick Back!
