The Spurs’ interest in Alexandre Sarr is not surprising, given their need for a talented young player to pair with Victor Wembanyama.
Victor Wembanyama and Alex Sarr
The San Antonio Spurs want to build a competitive young roster around Victor Wembanyama. As such, they may trade their 4th and 8th picks to move up and draft Alexandre Sarr. Hailing from France, Sarr is a 7’1″ top prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft. He averages 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 17 minutes per game, showcasing his defensive skills and athleticism.
According to league insider Marc Stein, the Spurs are eager to find a top-notch sidekick for Victor Wembanyama. Last season, the French rookie was dominant, with averages of 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 3.6 blocks per game. With Sarr in the lineup, the Spurs would have a strong frontcourt presence, allowing Wemby to share the workload and play with peace of mind.

The Spurs’ interest in Sarr is not surprising, given their need for a talented young player to pair with Wembanyama. The team’s front office remains in the hunt to orchestrate somehow a trade to draft Alexandre Sarr.
Reports suggest the Atlanta Hawks will likely pick at No. 1 to pair Trae Young with a big man. As such, the Spurs will likely have to convince either the Hawks or Washington Wizards with substantial draft compensation to pair Sarr and Wembanyama.
With Wembanyama and Sarr, the Spurs would have a dynamic duo that could lead them to success in the coming years. Moreover, free agents could choose to team up with Wemby in the coming years. As such, building a strong foundation now would result in a better future for the San Antonio Spurs.
Alex Sarr believes Bam Adebayo is better than Victor Wembanyama for now
French basketball player Alex Sarr recently shared his opinion that Bam Adebayo is still a better player than Victor Wembanyama despite an impressive rookie season. Sarr’s statement may seem controversial, but it’s not an outrageous opinion considering Adebayo’s impressive stats and accolades, including an NBA All-Defensive First-Team selection.
Wembanyama’s rookie season was remarkable, but Adebayo’s experience and consistency give him an edge for now. However, Wembanyama will likely surpass Adebayo soon, as he is expected to take a big step in his second season and potentially win Defensive Player of the Year.
By the end of next season, Wembanyama will likely be considered a top 10-15 player in the NBA. This means surpassing Adebayo and solidifying his position among the best players in the league. Paul George has already expressed concern about Wembanyama’s rapid growth, and it’s clear that the young Frenchman is on a trajectory to become a dominant force in the NBA.
