Alexandre Sarr

Draft Notes

The younger brother of former Wake Forest and Kentucky center Olivia Sarr, Alexandre is a high level C/PF prospect who is build in the same mold as his older brother but is a little more advanced at this stage of his young career and has better athleticism.

Sarr is a very fluid and mobile 7-1 player with really good movement skills, agility and leaping ability. He moves more like a wing than a traditional center.

Has a lot of potential as a face-up player where he can use his speed and mobility to take defenders off the bounce – or pull up from mid range.

A versatile defender who can guard the 3pt line and is a special shot blocker with great timing, length and explosiveness around the rim. His ability to guard multiple positions and protect the rim gives him a lot of immediate value at the NBA level.

He has a thin, light frame and needs to add strength. He can get pushed around in the paint and struggles to defend against grown man strength.

The 3pt shot isn’t yet a reliable weapon for him but he shows promise. If he can become a legit floor spacer his value will go through the roof.

He’s got immense upside but is still a long ways off from reaching that upside. He could take some time to develop and to be able to handle the strength of NBA centers. I believe in his upside but see some boom/bust potential with him.
