Alex Sarr

[tontoz]

He weighed 224 at the combine.

Maybe we had his phone, his burner, and his porn phone in his pocket, a back pack and a leather jacket on. Look at his legs no way hes 224 and 205 is his official weight.

Combine measurements will always be more truthful assuming players can’t game the system like max vert. Sarr is not a stick figure

Chet is listed at 213. Does anyone really think Sarr is skinnier than Chet?

Chet is also taller....

I looked up the Thunder last box score and Hartenstein and Chet both played over thirty minutes. Maybe the twin towers thing like Cleveland or OKC could work with Sarr and another guy. Maybe especially so if Sarr keeps developing the perimeter skills. Tbh, sometimes you do kinda get Giannis-ish vibes from him.

Centers generally have higher shooting percentages not because they are offensively gifted but because the opposite. Sarr is never going to have the shooting percentage of the Brendan Heywood of the world and I prefer he not

He probably won't have the shooting percentage of Chet Holmgren either. Chet is shooting 57.5% on 2s.

[Kanyewest]

Sarr is shooting 70% at the rim. 94% on Dunks, 34% on layups. Looks like he is shooting around 33% on shots between 3 ft to the 3 point line.

We have Sarr. We don't have Chet. Chet missed his rookie year and is now a 3rd year player. Lets let Sarr grow and develop. They are completely different players.

They are both skinny 7 footers. It isn't like I am comparing Bub to Embiid.

I see people comparing him to Mobley a lot, who shot 54% in 2s as a rookie.

Who would be your comp for Sarr?

Probably more Mobley than Holmgren. But right now, let Sarr be Sarr.

Sarr has a weird turnaround fadeaway floater hook shot thing that he needs to get rid of. Looks like he does it because he's soft and scared of contact.

All day and twice on Sundays. Sar looks like he might be super lean right now. And his legs and arms are twigs.

Faster thinner less physical embiid?

[DukeLecker]

Remember in the 2009-2010 season after the sell off where andray blatche became the #1 option and scored a bunch of points in March & April? Then on opening night the next year he grabbed the mic and said, “This is your captain, andray blatche.”

All those points were fools gold. Is Sarrs hot streak anything different? I see he scored 34 points, but took 28 shots to get there. Cool raw stats, but that’s a lot of squeezes.

[9 and 20]

Nah, I looked it up. Big difference - Sarr is 19 and Captain Baltche was 23.

What was the best game Blatche had during March and April?

You really are clueless. Sarr has much wider shoulders and more meat on his bones. This is Chet flexing lol.

I looked it up. Blatche had some solid games but I don't see any similarities. Sarr is 19 and anyone who knew basketball knew that Sarr was a project. Now that he's having success the normal contingent of fans want to make sure that anyone who is excited understands that he is not good. But the fact remains that he is 19 and needs to grow and develop. Btw, Blatche had some solid games. 36/15, 33/13, 31/10, 31/11. The issue with Blatche was that he wasn't a professional. Also when Blatche was Sarr's age he averaged 2.2 ppg.

[prime1time]

Let's be honest for a second. From where Sarr was in Summer League to where Sarr is now, the improvement has been remarkable. In Sarr's last 11 games he's shooting 36.8% from 3 on 6.2 3-point attempts a game. And he routinely shows flashes of advanced skill. I know people won't like the 2p fg % but for a player who had his 3-point shooting questioned and was projected as a major offensive project it's hard to describe this year as anything but a resounding success.

For Sarr detractors the story of this season will be his 2p fg% but for people who want to get excited about Sarr the reality is that he's been better offensively than many of us expected after summer league.

Look at this move at 1:02. Top of the key. Hard dribble to the right, behind the back to the left, spin move and finish. I asked a question when we first drafted him. What kind of player does Sarr want to be. Looking at him and comparing him to a traditional 5 is silly. He plays like a 3 and D wing who's trying to improve his off the dribble game. He's a forward. People might disagree but his growth curve is likely to be closer to a Jaylen Brown than an Evan Mobley.

His handle needs tightening. His finishing needs improving. But this is the player he wants to be. And it's clearly the skills that he's working on. Compare 19 year old Sarr to 20 year old Jaylen Brown. Brown averaged 6.6/2.8/.8 on 34.1% from 3 and 1.7 3pa. Sarr makes way more sense if you look at him as a wing who's trying to improve his offensive game than as a big who's needs to bang inside. And this is probably why he pushed to come to DC. Because DC would let him explore this part of his game instead of pigeon holding him into being a traditional 5. You can't look at that play and believe he's training and practicing to play like Daniel Gafford or Evan Mobley. And this is what I suspected all along.

You're probably better up looking up Dirk Nowitzki highlights tbh. He's a 4.

[tontoz]

I said Sarr looks like a 4 long before the season started and got some push back. I didn't buy him as a center then and still dont. In either position he has a long way to go to be an effective player.

The only young guy who is having any "success" is Kyshawn. The others have been varying degrees of bad, both this season and this month.
