STRENGTHS:

• Elite weakside rim protector

• On-court awareness is great, knows when to move out of the way to create space for dribble drivers, which sets himself up well for easy dump offs

• 61% inside the arc scorer, including 64% at the rim

• Floor-spacing potential, a willing shooter from beyond-the-arc

• 7'1" with a 7'4 1/2" wingspan, clearly bothers shooters with his length

• Lateral speed is very good, can keep up well with smaller players, prefer to keep him in paint as an around the rim roamer, but bodes best for a switch-heavy defense team

• Can dribble the ball up the court in small spurts

• High motor with good effort plays

WEAKNESSES:

• Length makes up for not-so-great close-out speed

• Shooting potential is theoretical mainly because of good form, not good production (30% from three on two attempts per game)

• Sets slip screens more often than physical screens

• Only 6 rebounds per 36 minutes, thin frame and weaker strength makes for an easy box out for opponents

• Can be sped up often, leading to some weird turnovers

• Not a clear go-to move on the offensive end, can be left without a clear offensive scoring role

Summary: Sarr has special defensive tools and defensive IQ with his length and lateral speed. His offense is still very raw. He will be good scorer in transition from the start and he will have some highlight putback slams, but he needs to develop some go-to scoring move or his three-point jumper, as well as adding play strength, to go from versatile chess piece to two-way star. He is not your prototypical projected #1 pick, but he is certainly a good option to bank on.
