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.”

Trentyn Flowers Decommits From Louisville, Signs With Adelaide

Aug 14, 2023 5:59 PM

Trentyn Flowers has decommitted from Louisville and will sign with the Adelaide 36ers of the National Basketball League in Australia.

Flowers is ESPN's No. 18 prospect in the incoming class of 2023. Flowers was originally in the class of 2024, but decided to graduate early to enroll at Louisville this summer. Flowers had been practicing with the team since June.

"This was the toughest decision I've ever made," Flowers said. "Louisville was my dream college. But I feel like signing in the NBL gives me the best chance to lock in and develop my game. I'm going over there to play point guard, to learn how to run a team, and be a player like LaMelo Ball or Josh Giddey. Adelaide is a place for me to lock in and focus on my game."
