Pros:

• already showing pro-level rebounding skills; great at boxing out

• insanely good shot block timing + vertical athleticism; averaged >2bpg in 29mpg at ASU

• great in passing lanes; averaged >1spg in 29mpg at ASU

• very good ball handling skills for his size

• one of the best fast-twitch athletes i’ve ever seen with his size+frame

• great cutter

Cons:

• bad core strength; throws his body around and picks up bad fouls

• bad screen setter

• awful free throw shooter

• below average as a passer

• very limited as a floor spacer

C: DPOY level all-star

F: bench role player

A springy big forward with a NBA level frame and athleticism. Is just scratching the surface of his potential. The Arizona State transfer gives Kentucky an elite big man who is a likely lottery pick in the 2026 draft.

NBA Comp: Tristan Thompson

PROS Last year at arizona state was a good defensive prospect (2,4 bpg) Has good tools and is a good athlete Is a sophmore but is very young

CONS A bit Undersized for an NBA center Not much of a perimeter game is coming off a big time injury

Athletic defense-first center STRENGTHS

• Explosive and athletic, with superb physical tools

• Best rim protector in the draft class

• Violent shot blocker with an extremely high motor

• High-level rebounder

• Defends the perimeter well

• One of the youngest sophomores in the country with an incredibly high ceiling to keep getting better

• Finishes well around the rim and has great bounce

WEAKNESSES

• Production and ability to stay on the floor - history of serious knee injury

• Can be an offensive liability - a poor shooter and post scorer

• Still incredibly raw

PLAYS LIKE: Robert Williams III

RANGE: Mid Lottery

Quaintance is a really athletic and mobile big.

His rim protection is scary and offensively I like how aggresive he is around the basket.

If the Wizards were still looking to run Sarr at the 4. A front court of Sarr and Quaintance would be fun. It would shut down the paint as there are now two amazingly talented rim protectors on the court. Both of them are mobile for their size. Still perimeter defense would remain a problem in some match ups. Offensively the fit could also work, but Sarr's outside shot would need to develop even further for it to work.

Pros:

• Very physical

• High defensive motor

• Great shot blocker

• One of the, if not the best, interior defenders in the draft

• Great offensive rebounder

• only 18

Cons:

• His handle is no good

• Lots of injury concerns

• Offense isnt there yet

• Cannot shoot
