Since this year, the NBA has decided to remove the positions in the All-NBA Defensive Teams and the All-NBA Teams. Basketball has evolved, and the versatility of the players, but also the playing systems, have generally made the five existing positions irrelevant: playmaker, guard, winger, power forward and pivot. Precisely, this is what we want to emphasize Alexandre Sarrwhose Stadium asks his models.
“Growing up, I watched a lot of Kevin Durant and Giannis (Antetokounmpo). Because they are players who can do almost everything on the pitch and who don't let themselves be put in a box.” explains the French interior, before discussing what he will highlight during upcoming interviews with the franchises. “I think my work ethic is one thing that speaks for itself. It's something that's really important now because it's what keeps you pushing and moving forward. »
Looking forward to playing with the France team
A year ago, Victor Wembanyama was selected in first place in the Draft. With Sarr, France could sign a historic double. What does he think? “French basketball has come a long way, and potentially having so many young French players in the NBA is really exciting for our national team in the years to come. I can't wait to see what our team will look like.” he replies, before avoiding any comparison with “Wemby”. “I think every player is different. I don't think comparing myself to someone else really makes sense. I think he went his own way. I have my own path. He did what he had to do. But now it's my turn to do the same. »
Finally, the favorite for 1st place in the Draft returns to his first statements about the Hawks, and Atlanta, a city he already knows well. “There are still a lot of unknowns on this subject, and so I am not planning too much. You never know what can happen… I focus on what I do every day, and of course, it's exciting. You know, Atlanta is a great city. I've been there before, so I feel like I know what it's like to live there. »
And soon maybe play it…
