So 1 good game makes him not a bust despite 37% fg and 24% from 3 on the season with over 5 attempts per game? He might be good one day. The blocks are nice, but overall has not proven that he is good right now.


Yes, he's not a bust. He is already a defensive beast at age 19. Any offense at this point is just gravy.

20, 7, 2, 4 & 3. You guys still think this kid's gonna bust? I was right again.

I remain skeptical that the Wizards will get the most out of him. I applaud them tanking correctly by playing their kids and I like how they're handling George and Carrington but they have got to stop what they're doing with Sarr. It's like they're playing him now, like he's the player they feel he eventually might become, instead of building up slowly until he's ready. He'd be better off shooting 15 footers and hitting turnarounds in the post instead of jacking up all these threes. Then after he's put in the work and proving he can shoot, he extends his range.

They need to reduce his usage until he gets more comfortable. I would limit his shot options.

Did he shoot 35% from the field this game, or was that just his previous 10 games?

I genuinely do not understand what kind of person you have to be to make such remarks. Like betting and hoping for the failure of a kid just to have a "gotcha" moment. Why even the need to make a snark remark like this? I dont understand why NBA Fans are always so negative towards players and especially rookies as if they were bullied by them personally

I think he will end up being a good NBA player, but we are seeing why anyone touting him as the clear cut obvious #1 pick was just wayyy too overconfident.

It's possible but he has a long way to go.

1) was anyone actually doing this or are you just making **** up? the prevailing sentiment on this board and across draftsphere was that there wasn't a clear cut choice at #1

2) weren't you touting Holland as the "clear choice #1"?

huh? Do you actually follow draft stuff or just live in your own bubble? There was a hefty amount of noise that Sarr was the best player in the draft and he should be the clear cut #1 guy by a lot of media heads and posters.

but yes I believed the two best prospects in the draft were Holland and Topic, those were my thoughts. I didn't think anyone who didn't have the same exact board as mine was absolutely wrong. I still think Holland and Topic both have chances to be the best player in the class and I very well could be wrong.

The main point here I was making was there was no sure fire right answer to best prospect or who should go #1 at the time of the draft and anyone dying on that hill for Sarr was just wishful thinking based on what we have seen.

i think you're actually just making **** up dog, the real sentiment around this class was that there was *no* consensus #1 guy. the fact that you disagree with this at this point speaks volumes about your own bubble more than anything else

Do you know what a consensus big board is? You take a bunch of peoples opinions and average them out into 1 board..

https://www.nbamockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2024/consensus-big-board-2024

What do you know 79 big boards and the most common player at #1 was Alex Sarr, but you're right Sarr wasn't even close to consensus lol

Anyways, I don't really get arguing over something so small as this. I understand you feel the need to try and get one over on me eventually but I don't think this is the convo you think it is.

just because more people had Sarr #1 than any other player doesn't mean those people thought that Sarr should've been the "clear cut #1 pick". you do understand the difference here, right?

I had Sarr #1, but did no think he should've been the clear cut guy. that's literally the opposite of the convos that were happening on this board.

and no need to "get one over on you", the BSer exposes himself on his own usually.

Lol what are you talking about...

I never said every single person had Sarr #1. My point was more people had #1 then any other player, aka the general consensus. I could care less what you thought about him, not every post revolves around you my guy.

I take it back. You are right. Whatever this thing is. You win lol.

So your argument is nobody, not one person was touting him as the clear cut #1 pick? Do you need me to go find 15 examples and post them? This is turning into such a dumb conversation. Again not sure why you are dying on this hill.

Please move on from this. I will let you feel like you won this one if you just stop responding lol

my argument is the prevailing sentiment on this board and on the planet that there was no "clear cut #1" guy in the 2024 draft, including for people that had Sarr #1 like myself.

if you saw someone or somewhere else say that they were an outlier and irrelevant, so you're just either making **** up or arguing against an irrelevant strawman. which is it?

I honestly don't know what you are looking for?

I already sent you a link that backed up what I was saying. Which is more than whatever you are dragging out. If you need another example there was a lot of Hawks fans who wanted to draft Sarr because that was the general consensus among major news outlets.

Did 90+% of people have Sarr #1? No that would be Absolute Consensus aka Wemby.

Did more people have Sarr #1 than any other prospect? Yes. Aka General Consensus.

Idk how to make it any more clear than that. If you can't understand then I think we should agree to move on.

You don't seem to understand what a consensus mock draft is

it's much easier to just admit you were BSing and move on

I like Sarr and hope he doesn't bust and plays well/efficiently offensively. I don't know about the bullying stuff, maybe I'm the bully! I'm in the process of watching the movie Bully.
