Look at Matisse Thybulle. Sarr's numbers per 36 last year don't show no offensive game though (20 PPG, 5 FTA, 52%) Shows he is raw but aggressive offensively. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Matisse Thybulle. That is a terrible comp. Look at James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley.. Players with no defense bomb harder On top of that, Thybulle is a shooting guard.. you want primarily scoring from the shooting guard spot.. However, Thybulle is a lot more valuable like the Caruso's of the world then an average scoring shooting guard. You are way out of the sensical zone.

Players with no defense bomb harder Their careers have been derailed by injuries more than anything. But I'm just saying, I don't think Sarr is a no brainer here. We should take several players into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post REHawksFan Posted May 13 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13 7 minutes ago, bleachkit said: Players with no offensive game inevitably end up on the bench, no matter how good their defense is. Look at Matisse Thybulle. The characterization that Sarr has no offensive game seems extraordinarily off base. He's raw but he's shown he has a handle, has a jump shot, and can score at the rim. And with his elite defensive ability, he absolutely has No. 1 potential. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 He only makes sense as a developmental big wing.

Hawkmoor Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) 19 minutes ago, KB21 said: https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/alex-sarr-the-undisputed-number-one "His rim protection was especially important for Perth, a team that was downright atrocious at containing driblle penetration and needed Sarr to do a lot as a help defender around the basket. He was routinely acting as low man, rotating from the weak side corner to contest shots." I mean, if this don't describe what the Hawks need, nothing else will.

KB21 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 In fact, what we should do going forward is get rid of archaic positional names such as center, power forward and small forward. Those terms should no longer be in our lexicon. Alexander Sarr is a switch big. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of these guys are better inside than Sarr is and all of them are way more tougher than he is, stronger, and none of them are soft. Sarr is soft.

NekiEcko Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 We have not heard anything from Trae all day, I know that DJM did do a tweet about it and few other folks but nothing from him or his father today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 1 hour ago, theheroatl said: Bro... You need to calm yourself.. You can teach fundamentals.. You can't teach athleticism. Clingan and Edey will always fall in the Valanciunas and Bogut category. Hawks don't need that right now. They need athletic rim protection and wing defense. At overtime he was already getting hyped as athletic: Oohhhh weeee. Ok I loved the physical attributes, the smoothness, but when I saw this video I saw a kid that had a good head on his shoulders and the support system from his family. He wants to work to get better and give back to Senegal and kids. Great human. YES! Don’t overthink it Hawks. This is him. Sarr is the one.

Trae getting traded to San Antonio for our picks back and 4. Maybe we can still get Clingan. No rumors, jk Edited May 13 by NBASupes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 1 hour ago, Sothron said: His shooting needs work Stroke is there though, nothing unorthodox about it either which I like. I mean there’s no Marion hitch to it or even Brandon Miller, I mean both shoot and shot well but I’d rather a nice pure stroke for a big like he has, makes life easier for Korver in practice with him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the other way around I’d worry a bit. Defense and instincts. He has it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
