Funnily enough, coming out of college Edwards had a low motor and didn't really seem to care about basketball all that much. He always had confidence, of course, but the rest was a process for him.

Everybody said 2020 was a weak draft and Edwards was a horrible #1 pick and wouldn't even be a lottery pick if he was in the 2019 draft, behind Barrett, Culver, and Hunter

Now the same idiots are saying the same thing, that 2024 is a weak draft, and Sarr and Risacher wouldn't be lottery picks in the 2025 draft.

Edwards, Wiseman, and LaMelo were high upside, extremely high risk prospects.

Risacher just has no upside at all is the issue and Sarr has very little upside.

You can't rewrite history with me bro. I'm a huge UGA fan and i remember all the crap Ant Man was getting in his freshmen year and before the draft. People here were calling him future bust and not even lottery talent in other drafts.

2020 was generally seen as a big 3 (Antman, Wiseman, LaMelo) and then a lot of variance...but yea, there is a lot of revisionism around Antman, a lot of people had issues with his mentality and inefficiency coming out

How a 19-year-old player can have no upside at all ? Both are amongst the youngest players in this draft ! You are talking about players who are still growing in their bodies. It's obvious they will improve physically and technically, like every basketball player at that age.
Everything you say is nonsense on every topic that's crazy :lol:

I am curious, according to you which players has more upside than Risacher and Sarr in this draft ?

I realize that Sarr has the same listed height and comparable shooting percentages Porzingis had at the same age (2013-2014 season). Even their per36 stats are comparable, Sarr is just better at shotblocking and a bit better at rebounding. Porzingis was facing a better competition (ACB) though, but to me it indicates well the ceiling of Sarr in the NBA : Porzingis with better defense. Porzingis was picked #4 in 2015

I have Sarr's floor as Jaren Jackson Jr. and his ceiling somewhere between Dwight and Giannis.

Reed Sheppard, Jared McCain, Nikola Topic, Yves Missi, and Cody Williams are the only guys with semi-realistic star potential (though none are likely to get there).

The draft just has very few players with high end skill or tools.

A floor of JJJ is absurd and I’m a Sarr is easily #1 guy.

I think alex Sarr floor is his older brother Olivier Sarr. Olivier could be a pretty good back-up center in an average NBA team. His per 36 in NBA is 13ppg 9rb 2blk with decent shooting.

Sarr's floor is Ayton, sad but true. Offensively Sarr could be better than Dwight, especially if he can shoot 70% free throws. Defensively he could be top 3 defensive centers for the next 10 years, just depends if he can add muscle like Kobe, AD, and TMac did.

His floor is not Ayton. Come on bro. I am not even sure he will ever be a legit center.

I wouldn't want Ayton on my team. He seems to be a cancer.

Ayton and Sarr play nothing alike. Ayton is a more of a bruiser, even if he isnt tough. He can finish with power, has an elite middie and rebounds at an elite rate.

Sarr is more of a lower tier unicorn - switchy, mobile and potentially a floor spacer.

Floor - Oliver Sarr
Middle - Christian Wood adjacent
Ceiling - Myles Turner

Sarr's floor is a DPOY caliber player who's already led the league in blocks twice and averaged over 22ppg? if that's his FLOOR he should be the unquestioned #1 overall pick lol

The comparisons to Giannis and Dwight are just so weird. Those guys are generationally strong and explosive and so-so at lateral movement and Sarr has high level lateral movement and below average strength and explosion.
