He's very mobile for his size, and already a good defender, far better than what I expected for his age. Good passer as well. He's good at the open floor too, it's surprising his ability to put the ball on the floor and go.
Obviously he has a lot of flaws and shoots way too many 3s.
All things considered, I think this was the right pick for Washington (I thought that at the draft's time as well, my stance hasn't changed), who solely needed a cornerstone player to build around.
Sarr reminds me of Kevin Garnett in the way he's mobile on offense and defense, the way he can defend all over the court, the way he runs the floor, pass and the face up game... he's going to be very good 3 years from now, when he'll be only 22 still.
I think he has All-Star potential, perhaps borderline All-NBA too, though it's still too early to tell, I'd need to see at least 2 seasons from him to get a better sample size.
This was my take on him before the draft. Year 1 would be a struggle offensively, but on the defensive side, he'd have a big impact. If we had him paired with DD, I think our defense would a lot stronger than it is currently. The offense will come in a few years. Some form correction on his shot, and a little bit of seasoning will have him viable on offense down the line. KG lite would be a for sure win from this draft.
