Alex Sarr

As woeful Wizard fans we would probably be suicidal by now had we drafted Zach, although he is also showing signs of progression.

That tweet is hyperbole. Risacher is too young to conclude he is a bust. Yeah, he's likely not a star either, but it is far from certain that he will pan out as bad as Anthony Bennett, Markelle Fultz or Andrea Bargnani.

The thing with Risacher is he's just another guy. Like, he'll probably be a solid player, but is there any world in which he's a major difference maker on a team? When you're drafting #1 and Sarr is available, sure he has a higher bust potential, but he also has a higher potential to be a major difference maker due to elite physical abilities.

I kind of agree with the tweet--it's not like he's at bad as Bennett, Fultz or Bargnani, but at least they were interesting to talk about, or you could imagine how Fultz or Bargs would turn out to be amazing. Bennett, I mean he was so bad I think he's "relevant" just in terms of terribleness. Risacher--no one's going to care about him one way or another.

A few months ago I eyeballed the top 3 picks from the draft for the last 20 years and friends, it is a crapshoot. At least 50% of all of these picks have flamed out due to being chronically injury prone. Your goal is to get a starter on a championship caliber team who is not constantly injured. That is actually *above average* production from those picks.

Reminder that Sarr didn't want to end up with the Hawks because of either their unwillingness to play the 4 or he didn't want to end up in Atlanta. (Or maybe Winger learned from the Clippers and gave Sarr some under the table money)

How could I forget? The best prospect in the draft pushing to go to the wizards? That was like the best wizards moment in a decade.

But if I were the hawks, I still would have drafted him. Sarr is not a primadona, he would have reported.

Maybe Alex is getting 50 Million from some Ted-connected French wine comglomerate to crush grapes once a year?

...and Ace Bailey too , now, if we could just get the rebuild out of the starting position, there has been too-many efforts to find a type of wing, to the detriment of other positions/players that would have us further ahead in the rebuild IMO.

It's subjective, but he refers to Risacher as irrelevant, not a bust. Bennett is relevant because he's a bust of epic proportions.
