Sarr is a better prospect than Wiseman (who always sucked and should have been like late lottery) because he has better lateral quickness and a better defensive IQ, but there's tons of similarities here.
Also pretty similar to Nerlens Noel with more strength and slightly better hands, but significantly less explosion. Noel's BBIQ never improved in the NBA so Sarr could end up being a lot better if he develops normally.
I think a fair question to ask is what makes Sarr significantly better than Ware. The measurables and athleticism are essentially identical. It's hard to compare production due to Big10 vs Australia, but in terms of their size, athleticism, skill set, etc, i don't see much real separation. If anything Ware probably shows a bit more potential as a shooter.
Uhh, Ware would be in contention for top 3 if he didn't supposedly hate basketball.
This is like pulling up Bol Bol's stats and measurements and going "why isn't this guy in the top 3???"
Sarr is also an elite perimeter defender.
sounds like you agree with me. cool.
has he ever said he hates basketball? have his coaches or teammates ever said that? he certainly didn't play like a guy who hates basketball this season.
i guess if we say a guy hates basketball often enough, maybe it becomes fact.
