[Brad Rowland] First bit of intel from a prominent national source on the Hawks and the No. 1 pick… Per Marc Stein, Atlanta is “increasingly expected to be choosing between two Frenchmen — Alex Sarr and Zacchanie Risacher” with the top pick.

Team Sarr stand up, only one contender left
Brad has spoken.
B money on the spot.
Draft day announce that they’re drafting Alex Risacher. By combining the two players names into one singular name the NBA legally has to allow Atlanta to draft both players with the same pick.
If the FO thinks Sarr is BPA they should take Sarr. If the FO thinks Risacher is BPA they should take Risacher. If the FO thinks someone else is BPA they should try to trade down and grab them there
My point is that you should always draft BPA at #1, with fit being a tiebreaker if and only if two prospects are too close to separate
I really don’t like that the 2nd player we are considering is zaccharie. His game is great in theory, a 3 and D wing who won’t hesitate to shoot. But this is just the Hunter pick over again but do a higher extreme.
There is zero creation upside with zaccharie, and while I am sold on his defense I am not necessarily sold on him being a 40% 3 point shooter at the next level.
I really don’t like the idea of a high floor low ceiling prospect at 1 over a guy like sarr and to a lesser extent holland.
No shit.
It’s easily Sarr, Risacher has a lower predraft ceiling than what Dre has coming into the league. Even if Sarr doesn’t pan out offensively his height alone will make him a rim deterrent and help our defend. It’s genuinely Sarr or trade for me and should be for our front office
Please just pick Sarr, its a no brainer
So basically Sarr
At least they’re French
And then they’ll trade that pick to the Dallas.Mavericks for whatever their pic is and an unprotected future first
