Unless there is a last minute turnaround, the Hawks will not select Alexandre Sarr with the first choice in the 2024 Draft. For the simple reason that the French interior snubbed the franchise, as revealed by Landry Fields.
“He was supposed to come to a workout. We had him scheduled, then he refused to come,” explains Hawks GM. “It doesn't really affect me because it's not new. This is something agents do. »
According to Landry Fields, Alexandre Sarr is the only player invited to have refused to participate in the trials organized by the Hawks for the Draft. Which at the same time opens the door wide for Zacharie Risacher, to succeed Victor Wembanyama as first choice in the Draft. Even if it won't necessarily mean that the French winger will play in Atlanta…
Heading to the Wizards for Alexandre Sarr?
As for Alexandre Sarr, he should be chosen by the Wizards in second position. This is the only team name that leaked for the Frenchman's trials.
“I have a great team around me. Bill Duffy and WME Sports (his representatives) have been through all this before and I trust them, » explains Olivier’s brother. “I'm not going to go into detail about where I tested, or where I didn't, but I did my best in my workouts and that's all I can control. »
If Alexandre Sarr and his camp favored the Wizards, it is because he will immediately have a lot of playing time and responsibilities. Unlike Atlanta where the “frontline” is currently already well stocked with Clint Capela, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Onkongwu.
