Spurs' Center Situation - Sarr?

[exstatic]

You would have passed on David Robinson at 18 because Sarr is better and bigger than David Robinson at 18.

No, he’s only taller. David was a silky smooth 6’6” wing player, and since he earned a D1 scholarship, I’d draft him over Sarr.

[rascal]

Interesting take.... Sarr is number two on most boards now. Ive had him #2 since rhe beginning. I get it that you like him and all, but i think you're badly over-rating him. And no i wouldn't have passed on Robinson.. there's no comparison..

I'm rating him on his potential, like everyone is doing with all these players. There are things he needs work on like all the players in this draft. But his upside of size and athleticism puts him above the other players for me. This site in under rating him.

You are wrong.

Robinson would not have been considered the number 1 pick had he come out at 18.

He wasn't even a starter in high school until his senoir year so he wasn't that good yet at 18 and nothing special at 6' 6.

[poopbox]

If he is there you take him no questions asked. There isn't a player in this draft that doesn't have some questions about their game so since i think its all relative give me the young 7 footer with upside and I'll figure it out from there

David Robinson, in this years draft as a 6’6” 18 YO wing, would be the concensus #1 pick.

[spurraider21]

as much as we could use a good backup C, im not sure that a top 2-3 pick required to take sarr is a worthy investment for that

if wright/pop actually draft sarr, i would hope its because they have a strong level of confidence that wemby and sarr could play together

That’s antique thinking. Unskilled 7 foot rim runners have never held less NBA value than right now.

[John B]

Filipowsky is another option, shoots well outside. We could get him with TOR even trade down for future picks.

No he wouldn't

[Dejounte]

No he wouldn't

Yes, he would. Sarr is this year’s Hasheem Thabeet.

[Dejounte]

It’s weird. The same people who call this roster outside of Wemby trash wants to draft more trash players. Can’t trust these people and their talent evals tbh

[Raven]

Yea I agree. Its not a loaded draft, but I just don't think he'll fall that low, and I don't see another position, other than a 3&D, Spurs would go for if they got Trae, other than a big like Sarr.



Why do you think that?

because players hate trae

[Pauleta14]

if you get trae, you can bet vw will leave asap.

Not a fan of the Trae Option either but if it is to happen it’d be with Victor’s approval bc they know each other or have common relations (personal coach at least)

[Mr. Body]

I think people have this cargo cult thing going where they believe repeating elements of the past will make the same thing happen. It's like we got magic beans once that grew into a beanstalk and now people are trying to plant anything that looks like a bean.

Everyone who gets into the Naval Academy get a 100% scholarship.

Easier to find shooting, hard to find athletic 7 ' athletes who project to do many things well.

If you have a chance to draft one you do it. The Spurs didn't pass on teaming Duncan and Robinson.

Seriously comparing Sarr to Duncan?

[Brazil]

Trash tbh

you are a bit harsh but yeah I pray he is picked before spurs pick

[rascal]

Seriously comparing Sarr to Duncan?

I don't expect sarr to be as good as Duncan but that's not the point.

The point is the Spurs didn't pass on Duncan because they had another post player already on the team.

And that same logic holds that they shouldn't pass on Sarr because they have Wemby.

[mo7888]

At 18 you would have passed on Robinson because he wasn't even 7' at 18.

I see what you're saying now.... at 18 i didn't know who he was.... so he wouldn't have been on a board to pass on...

Sarr is not athletic. This team needs athletic players.

[Dejounte]

Why pick a player that’s not even as athletic as Sochan?

[duncan2150]

What do you mean by not athletic ?

that was also basically an era where a lot of teams teams started 2 centers and just called the shorter one their power forward

i have a few issues with taking sarr. his lack of athleticism is not among them

[Brazil]

I’m French but yeah I’d prefer spurs not picking Sarr or even risacher.. hopefully I’m wrong and this would be a great news for FNT
