Asked by AndscapeOlivier's little brother is satisfied with the draw, and he now knows which franchises he will test with.
” I am very enthusiastic. I just found out the order, and it gives me the names of the teams I will be testing with.” he reacted. “The Hawks are an exciting franchise, and they are moving in the right direction. It's great that they have the first pick. »
Unlike Victor Wembanyama a year ago, Alexandre Sarr is not the arch-favorite to be selected number 1, and he will have to deal with competition from Zaccharie Risacher, Reed Sheppard, Robert Dillingham, Matas Buzelis and Donovan Clingan. “I bring a lot of versatility, and I can really make an impact. On defense, I can change the course of a match” continues Alexandre Sarr, to defend his profile.
