35 wins watch out for Trey and Will Riley…….🏀😎 15:03
Astagfurallah. I had horrible thoughts lol ya can’t say it but I’m gonna say it . He prob slept with his w*** lol
ITS BECAUSE THEY PROJECT HIM AS A CENTER AND HE DIDN'T PAN OUT! NOW THEY ARE SEEING HIM AS A 3 OR 4 BUT THINK HE WON'T PAN OUT TO BE. I THINK HE IS GOING TO BE A 3 IN THE LEAGUE BECAUSE OF HIS DRIBBLING AND SHOOTING! BUT HE IS TOP 5
I PREDICT THE WIZARDS FINISH 30-52! THEY ARE THE OKC OF THE EAST. THIS IS HOW OKC DID IT AND IN 3YRS WIZARDS WILL BE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TOO!
rightly so he was awful last season
Honestly, i'm not surprised nor mad about it. He couldn't rebound like 5 nor shoot like 4 even in SL level. If he can't show any sign of growth this year, he has a very high chance to become a bust.
Alex Sarr don't listen to the noise but use this as your motivation but make some noise on the court this 2025 -2026 NBA season and then regret view of you.
Alex Sarr has a long way to go. He is awful in the post. He is a terrible rebounder. He is far from a knockdown shooter. But that entire draft was awful. Alex Sarr is still the best or second best player taken in that draft.
Top three easily. No way , no how could they actually have watched him play. Hopefully he uses this as a incentive to take it out on the league.
I am a diehard Baltimore, Washington bullet face when Alexander first came the league in the first preseason game of summer league game. Only people are talking negative with Brandon and you are and now y’all finally acting like this guy do have the talent that we was looking for and this is only his first year. Let’s see Alex are his third year.
I had a parent from my sons lacrose team say that she had never met a wizards fan before… I said well your lookin at one. She had a look of sadness, disappointment, and empathy in her eye….
Besides castle and maybe McCain I don’t see any validation to have him lower then that I like Risacher but even he’s behind a 7’1 freak they are typical of guys who just look at analytics and the team they are on. They have no credibility to me now.
those lists are not definitive, let them make their list, just let Sarr make his game do the talking
Chet missed his whole rookie year and they didn't do him that dirty 😅. Sarr was in a different situation than alot of those players they put ahead of him. That was dirty.
Although I don’t agree with him, Sam’s critique of Sarr is both fair and consistent.
Pre-draft Sam has had his concerns about Sarr being a player that struggles to rebound and finish around the basket as a Center. He has specific expectations for the position and Sarr hasn’t met them yet.
Sarr does plenty of other positive things on the court, they just don’t match what Sam wants out of a center, hence Sarr out of the top 10.
If you guys are unfamiliar with Sam, his pod is The Game Theory Pod and he’s been doing scouting for like 10-15 years. You’ll learn a lot from his videos, he’s very knowledgeable.
Guys I don't get why some guys that never played College or NBA ball speak negative or disrespect Alex Sarr, after the Wizards beat he Nuggets in Denver .The Joker said Sarr outplayed him on both sides of the court and is impressive that's what I care about. Sarr's stat line 34 points 6 rebounds and 5 assists
This will be fuel for Alex! 🔥
Even if Alex doesn’t develop that much offensively. He will develop into a defensive anchor for a championship contending team
Whoever wrote this article should not have a job analyzing basketball.
them having Reed Shepard that high in a redraft, come-on, seriously? … honestly, don't take that article seriously. Separately, Ted does not get enough heat for how bad the state of the franchise is, it's bad. I feel like the Wizards could disappear from the NBA and people outside of us fans wouldn't notice. Ted needs to put more effort into Wizards media and marketing or better, sell the team to someone who cares more.
Let me tell you Youngsters a thing or 2….TO THE NATIONAL MEDIA WE ARE THE OLD CLIPPERS OF THE EAST🤷♂️🤦♂️🥶THEY HATE TALKING ABOUT US THEY ONLY LIKE TO 🤡US AN TALK ABOUT THE LAKERS OR WHATEVER TEAM THERE FAVORITE🌟PLAYS FOR💯💯💯
An trust me NOBODY ELSE BUT WIZARDS FANS WATCH WIZARDS GAMES….THEY DONT WATCH US THEY DGAF🤷♂️🚨🚨🚨
True wiz fans are not hiding. Been one my whole life and proud of my team. We are fully rebuilding and have never done a proper rebuild. NBA did us a favor helping us tank one more year. We could easily only win 3 out of our first 20. The sad thing is NBA will give us a 5th or 6th pick again.
Not a good look when you can’t even pronounce Sams name yet you are talking about him not knowing what he’s talking about when he goes way more into his reasoning for things then you guys ever have.
Alex Sarr is MY rookie. He is the only pick I specifically wanted from day one Since Beal. Sarr and Cam were the two players I wanted the most when i saw our picks each year. I’m going with Sarr being a better Jaren Jackson. A better Rudy Gobert. Ceiling is Giannis with a 3!!
We were flexed out of our tnt game against hawks. think we had one nba tv game.
Sarr should have been ROY
I would take Buzelis, Castle, Kyshawn (yes, our Kyshawn), Risacher, Ron Holland, Filipowski over Sarr. After that, none of the players excite me to want them more. I don't think highly of McCain, Edey, Wells. Still, I'm not very positive about Sarr after how he played in his rookie year.
He trash lol
Person that made that list is probably a Hawks fan and they butt hurting because Sarr wanted to come to the Wizards
I like Sarr just not at C! He’s a PF
Sarr should have been 3rd in this redraft crazy
As a Spurs fan, I put Sarr in my top 4. Castle, Disaster, and McCain are my top 3. His potential is just too great, not to be put in top 5.
Buzelis, Castle, Ware, Filipowski, Edey, Clingan … I haven't seen their list, but they come to mind.
The same Sarr that gave Denver 34 pts and 5 assts ? smh
I have been a Bullets/ Wizards fan since Bernard King played here. Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Calbert Cheaney, Tracy Murray, Rod Strickland, Mitch Richmond, Tyron Lue, Nick Young, and many other players. Up until now and I will always be a Wizard fan.
dude who wrote the article is Australian guy has some beef with Sarr from his NBL days or something
He IS NOT A CENTER
