I watched that ^
I guess this isn't really shocking but he's all in
on Dybantsa. Still likes Peterson a lot but definitely has
a man crush on Dybantsa.
From where I'm sitting now, I'd be really happy with either.
In 5 years, will there be a consensus best player
from this draft? In 83 we had Dream, MJ, Barkley, CP3...

Those two are the consensus top 2, although it isnt really clear who should go first. Probably depends on the team.
After that it gets interesting. A lot of good players but i suspect there will be a lot of movement up and down the mocks for some of these guys.
I would say the top 10 looks stronger overall than last season.

KOC had a nice blurb about Sarr in his latest podcast. Compared him to Bosh (I think Sarr is way tougher than Bosh ever was).

Re: Alex Sarr
If this is not a fluke and Sarr can keep up these numbers for an entire season, there's really no reason to think he won't be better than guys like Holmgren and Mobley.
At age 20, Sarr is matching or beating what those guys did at age 21. His counting stats across the board (points, rebounds, assists and blocks per possession) are better than those guys, and his efficiency is only slightly worse (mostly due to turnovers). But Mobley and Chet had superstar offensive teammates to draw defensive attention, letting them get plenty of easy pick-and-roll dunks and offensive putbacks. If Sarr played alongside a Donovan Mitchell or SGA, I'm sure his efficiency would improve as well.
SARR VERSUS MOBLEY:
SARR VERSUS CHET:
And to reiterate: Sarr is a year younger than Mobley and Chet in these comparisons. Sarr also has a slightly bigger, more robust frame and will likely fill out more than Mobley and Chet can.

That's who I compared Alex to leading up to the draft.

Re: Alex Sarr
Sarr and Kyshawn are good defensive players. I would assume that Middleton is a good defensive player. Why is the Zards' defense so sucky? Can McCollum play defense or is he an Arenas type that spends all his energy on offense and rests on defense? How is Tre's defense?
I've been taught all my life to value service to the weak and powerless.

Re: Alex Sarr
McCollum is terrible. Tre, as a rookie guard, is still terrible. Kispert and Whitmore are terrible. Middleton is terrible. The rotations are terrible. Rebounding is terrible. I don't think Bub is terrible, but he's not at his best anywhere right now.

Yeah. Sarr and Kyshawn are good. Bub and Champagnie are okay. Middleton and Kispert are kinda bad but at least know where to be. Everyone else is awful.
I think the biggest problems are actually off ball and before guys get the ball. When defending in space most of our players are pretty decent. But they mostly suck at fighting through screens, or knowing when to hold guys and bump guys off ball in ways that are slightly illegal but don't usually get called. If you watch OKC play defense, you see how they make it hard to even move anywhere, even when you don't have the ball. They just grab you and hold you all the time. And whenever you set a screen they just move you off that spot before the action takes place.
The other issue is obviously rebounding. Sarr is usually out of position because he is always covering for other players, and the other players except Kyshawn and Champagnie are lousy at boxing out the center that Sarr had to switch off of.
