With the NBA draft looming, fans are buzzing with excitement to witness the next generation of basketball stars take the stage. Among them is French sensation Alex Sarr, currently making waves with the Perth Wildcats in Australia’s NBL.
Standing tall at 7ft 1in (2.16m), Sarr’s imposing presence on the court draws comparisons to previous number-one draft pick Victor Wembanyama. The 18-year-old has showcased his skills on the international stage, representing France at the U17 and U19 World Cups, contributing to bronze and silver medal victories.
Sarr’s recent stint with the Wildcats, courtesy of the Next Stars program, has impressed scouts and fans alike. Averaging 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game, he’s proven himself as a formidable force on both ends of the court, especially for a player of his age.
Fans predict the teams that should draft Alex Sarr
The upcoming NBA draft holds immense potential for Sarr, with teams eyeing his massive build and defensive prowess. The league has already witnessed Victor Wembanyama’s rapid rise, hinting at what could be in store for the French prodigy.

Others suggest the Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, and Washington Wizards as potential landing spots. Comments such as “Spurs about to have a French Fiasco” and “Blazers, Hornets, or Wizards” indicate the wide range of possibilities for Sarr’s NBA journey.
