Alex Sarr Receiving Attention As Possible No. 1 Pick In 2024 NBA Draft

Sep 21, 2023 12:09 PM

Alex Sarr has quickly emerged as a potential high lottery pick in 2024.

Sarr is 7-1 with a 7-5 wingspan and plays for the Perth Wildcats. Draft Express moved Sarr up from 19th in June to fifth in its latest mock draft.

“Sarr might go first,” said one unnamed NBA general manager to The Ringer.

Sarr has elite potential on defense and is multi-dimensional on offense.

Sarr was asked by The Ringer what he loves about basketball.

“The endless things you can improve on. I think it never stops,” Sarr said. “I don’t think I’ll ever get to a point in my career where you do everything great. There’s always something that you can work on.”
