Alex Sarr is not your typical NBA center, nor your typical first overall pick, but that doesn't mean that he can't be the best player in the draft. A deep dive on the french big and his NBA projection for @NoCeilingsNBA .

Most impressive aspect of Sharavjamts' game might be his passing for his size (measured at 6'8.75" in shoes at Nike Hoop Summit this year), he has an ample passing repertoire, able to find teammates with creative passing deliveries in pick-and-roll and in the early offense.

Risacher has been one of the most popular pick for the Pistons because of his positional fit and his floor-spacing, but it's hard to justify him going there if you don't believe he'll be an elite shooter at the NBA level. Detroit might have to defalut to BPA at this point.

Zaccharie Risacher going through a slump here with most NCAA prospects entering predraft. Since 1/20 he's 19-67 3PT (28%). Worth thinking about for a potential #1 pick (along with 69% FT) given how much shooting has powered his draft stock. Scored 10+ just once over last 7 games.

When I'm a 7'1" center who switches onto a quick 5'6" Point Guard on a ball screen and blocks his shot, only for the ball defender to die on the screen and give up the offensive rebound.

Full highlights from 🇲🇽 Karim Lopez (2007) at the ANGT Finals. The 6'8" wing made an impact by attacking the rim and making jumpshots. Impressive physical profile in terms of size, mobility and length. Played two years up in age, prospect to track down for the future.

OTE @overtime has signed their first European prospect. Alexandre Sarr, a 6-foot-8 inch power forward. One of the top rated 16 year olds in Europe, he’s the brother of Kentucky’s Olivier Sarr. No college for Alex.

Defensively, Kriisa plays with a ton of energy and despite being limited positionally due to his size, he is able to draw offensive fouls/charges with his positioning and willingness to absorb contact.

With the 🇫🇷 LNB Pro A season just around the corner, I wrote about 15+ prospects to follow during the season, including, of course, Vic, but also Matthew Strazel, Kenny Kasiama, Matthieu Gauzin, Zaccharie Risacher, Killian Malwaya, Mohamed Diawara, Bilal Coulibaly and more.

My take about the accountability for draft misses conversation on the timeline recently: shit's boring. With that out of the way, I think it's way more interesting to share what we learned from our misses and how we apply that to our current scouting.

First time watching 2024 Trentyn Flowers from Combine Academy. Listed at 6'9" with a smooth shooting stroke and the ability to put the ball on the floor and attack the rim at his size. Definitely a prospect to follow for the 2025 NBA Draft.

The talk about hits and misses on "draft twitter" is one of the most boring and shallow conversations about the draft you could possibly have. The real conversation is WHY you hit/missed on a player, what you learnt from it and how it helped shape your current scouting process.

This passing sequence by Mike Sharavjamts 🇲🇳 is so insane: fakes the transition D with a no-look bounce pass, then gets the offensive rebounds and makes a behind-the-back overhead pass for an open 3. Incredibly fun player to watch.

You know what I love about the G-League Draft? The fact that it's the day before the draft and there's not a single list publcly available of the player pool; I'm sure it makes things really easy for the people who attempt to cover the league.

Juan Nuñez 🇪🇸 had 11pts yesterday for Ulm on 5/10 FG. After a rough start of the season in terms of percentages, Nuñez is showing an impressive development as a scorer, as he's averaging 12.1 pts on 50% from the field and 43.8% from 3 point range over the last 7 games.

This also goes out to the more "established" NBA Draft content creators. There's something missing if you're not using your platforms to help the next generation out; helping/shouting out "smaller" content creators out there is not going to make y'all less good at your jobs.

If it means anything I've been having many conversations with people who feel discouraged about the possibilities of turning this (draft scouting) into a full time job, so I hope this helps in any way. My DMs are more than open.

ANGT Highlights from 🇸🇳 Sidi Gueye. One of the top players in the 2007 intl generation. Tremendous combination of size, length and agility. Potential as an elite lob catcher and rim protector. Has shown flashes of ball-handling and versatile defense as well.

Lazar Gačić (2005) 🇷🇸 proved to be one the most interesting long term prospects at the U16 Euro Challengers, a 6'11" wing with dribble & shoot abilities that is also able to facilitate from the post. Really interested to continue to track his development moving forward.

I've been watching Tiefing Diawara 🇲🇱 (2006) from @Orange1Bassano during the last month, and he has an argument to be the #1 player in the 2006 international generation. Tremendous combination of 6'11" size, length (7'3" WS), mobility, power and defensive potential. NBA talent.

Projected first round pick 🇫🇷 Rayan Rupert (2004) had one of his best games since coming back from injury. 12 points on 5/6 from the field. Rupert is looking more confident as a self-creator while making an impact on the defensive end of the floor as well.
