The Truth About Alex Sarr Nobody Talks About

The Truth About Alex Sarr Nobody Talks About

Alex Sar, the number two overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft. He was once called the cornerstone of the Washington Wizards future. A 7footer with unreal athleticism, defensive versatility, and the potential to be a franchise altering unicorn. But what if all that hype is wrong? What if all the red flags are bigger than we think? And what if just like a few recent top picks, history is about to repeat itself? To understand why I’m worried about Alexar, we have to talk about James Wiseman. Do you remember the hype? The 2020 NBA draft. Wiseman was a number two pick, seven foot of one physical specimen with a massive massive wingspan and the promise of a two-way game that was supposed to fit perfectly into the Warriors Dynasty and their two timeline plan. The similarities between these two are uncanny. Both are raw, high potential bigs taken at the same exact draft spot. Both they’re hyped for their physical tools and their potential to be a modern versatile center, a unicorn. Some say the Warriors were sold on Wiseman’s athleticism and flashes of a jumper. The Wizards was were sold on Sar’s athleticism and flashes of a perimeter game. In both cases, the potential seemed to overshadow the present. And that’s where the warnings began. James Wiseman struggled with these three things that I’m already seeing in Alexar’s game. First of all, strength and fouling. Wiseman came into the league with a wiry frame and consistently got pushed around the league. He lived in foul trouble because he couldn’t hold his ground. Take a look at Sar. He’s listed at 205. You see him getting bodied in the paint and getting pushed off the spot every single time he’s in the paint. against stronger veteran bigs. This is a major liability that will take years to fix. Third, and most importantly, lack or feel for the game. Wiseman never developed that crucial court awareness. He was often late on defensive rotations and got caught on no man’s land. While Sar is a fantastic shot blocker, you can already see him getting caught in the wrong spot, overhelping or being slow to react. That’s not just a product of being a bad team. It’s a lack of fundamental defensive instinct that can be a real struggle to learn in the NBA. And it’s not just big men. The NBA Giraffe lottery is a mindfield. The Wizards themselves have experience with this. Look at Johnny Davis, the 10th overall pick back in 2022. He was a dominant college player with a relentless motor, but he wasn’t just hasn’t been able to translate his game to the NBA. and he’s pretty much out of league now. So far, it’s been a tough lesson in how college success doesn’t guarantee pro success. Then there’s Zire Williams, the 10th overall pick back in 2021. He was an athletic, highse ceiling wing who has struggled with injuries and more. Importantly, finding consistent role on the Grizzlies. He’s a great reminder that having a high pick doesn’t guarantee a player will fit, stay healthy, or develop into anything more than just a French role player. So, when you put it all together, the physical profile, the raw offensive game, the defensive struggles, and the clear parallels to a guy like James Weisman, it’s impossible to ignore the red flags. I mean, the potential is there. I’m not going to deny you that. But potential alone does not make you a star. It just makes you a project in the NBA. Is Alex Sar a generational talent who will eventually figure it all out? Or is he a bust in the highest line of highly doubted bust? A victim of overhyped potential who will struggle struggle to live up to the expectations that come with being a number two overall pick. Let me know down in the comments if you agree with this take. You think I’m right? You think I’m wrong? Do you think this will age like milk or fine wine? Thank you for watching the video all the way through if you made it this far.
