Yep. I’ve seen enough of the other top prospects to know that Sarr is clearly in a tier at the top by himself.

If there was RAS for basketball, Edey would be more similar to D’Vondre Sweat. I talked to Kent about it, and he’s not interested enough in basketball to do a formula for it. He said his give a damn for basketball is lacking.

Having those three will lessen the need for a POA defender at guard. You can play a shooter there.

I don’t understand why some others can’t see it.

I see two bigs who fit the modern NBA.

OO, Sarr, and JJ.

Then you add Mo Gueye and Vit to those three!

96 mpg with two of JJ, OO, and AS on the floor at all times and maybe even some minutes with all three on the floor is exciting as hell. The defense will be fixed immediately. The offensive potential is unreal.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peachtree-hoops-for-atlanta-hawks-fans/id1167318465?i=1000655371930 Kevin, Glenn, and Tyler all agree with me. Sarr is the obvious pick.

There isn’t a better fit alongside Trae than a defensive anchor big who can play any style of defense and has the ability to space the floor offensively. The modern NBA is all about creating space on offense and closing space on defense. Sarr is tremendous at closing space on defense. He has shown tremendous upside equity as a floor spacer on offense. You are back to saying once again that somehow in some alternate reality that Trae is better with a more limited big that will be played off the floor in the playoffs.

Hmm. This is suspicious.

Here’s you a good follow: Ben was a part of The Stepien website before Zwicker and Derenthal were hired by Houston and OKC. Here is his 113 player horizontal board with tiers.

Marco, thoughts on Sarr and Risacher?

Just because you missed on Reddish doesn’t mean that every young player that needs development is going to be Reddish. I didn’t miss on Reddish though.

Yep. Sarr can defend better in the NBA RIGHT NOW than Edey will ever be able to defend. It’s not even close either. No one will EVER take Edey over Sarr. I think he legitimately decided to take the most off the wall view of a prospect in this draft and go all in on it. I have some news. Edey wasn’t going to be considered at 10, much less 1. Quite frankly, I’ve grown tired of even discussing someone who is going to have such a small impact in the NBA as Edey. I am only going to discuss prospects that are legitimate going forward.

I’m going to have to think a bit on the comp. A 6’6” wing with defense, a developing shot and some creation ability?

Yep. Everyone else is wrong about him and you are the only one that is right.

Perfect comparison! Sheldon and Edey.

Which is exactly what you said about JJJ.
