Very fun prospect that is super crafty in the paint scoring and passing. Jumspshot is a huge question mark but should be fine everywhere else on both ends. Deni avdija playmaking

i've been conflicted on saraf for a while now but he's still viewed in a high regard in my eyes.

while i am worried about saraf's ability to score, i think he's not a lost cause and that his passing is still something i like, something i like enough to keep him in the lottery.

i still need to see more film on him, i've fallen behind on my international guys, his ranking could easily drop soon (or maybe rise).

Elite scorer who has a very good handle. Gets to the foul line. More of a slasher than a shooter but can hit threes. Solid defender. His stock could skyrocket if he plays well overseas this year.

NBA Comp: Jaylen Brown

High End: Less athletic Manu Ginobili Low End: Jarrett Culver Median outcome: Tyreke Evans Pros: Scoring (midrange and rim), aggressiveness (on drives), passing Cons: Athleticism (burst + speed), shooting (from 3), defense Verdict: Saraf is a highly talented offensive talent with a deep offensive bag and playmaking skill while being decent enough off-ball skills as a scorer to allow him to succeed as a non-ball dominant guard in the league. However, bad athlete + bad shooter is such a scary red flag to be had with prospects as he does not have that pop which allows him to separate as much against NBA players (similar issue to Kasparas). It's good to note that his shooting form is pretty good even if he hasn't been exactly on fire from midrange or 3.

great ability to change speeds and direction with the ball. the deceleration game is dope.

obvious passing ability and confidence. not scared to pass in a crowded lane. loves to

dominated in U18 tournaments. looked like the best player almost every game.

generates steals with ease, but not a lockdown guy.

plays smaller than he is, doesn't really utilise his size

Not a great athlete. lack of vertical. not a bad first step but is regularly outsped.

ball control is an issue especially against good defenders, but he is really creative with his dribble. His handle is basically all there, just needs to tighten it up.

struggles to create seperation when driving. this might be his biggest concern!!

Saraf egy képzett és sokoldalú 2-3-as, aki a méretét, a kosárlabda IQ-t és a kitartást ötvözi, hogy csapattársait és magát jó szituációkba hozza. Saraf fejlett képességeket mutat a pick-and-roll játékokban, vision-ét és időzítését a védekező forgások kihasználására használja. Nem hiszem hogy jót tenne neki ha magasan pick-elnék hisz csakis potenciálalapján nem hiszem hogy elég meggyőző lesz pár évig.
