The Atlanta Hawks MUST DRAFT Alex Sarr! Here’s Why?
The Atlanta Hawks have secured the number one pick in the upcoming NBA draft, and there's one name that should be at the top of their list: Alex Sarr. Here’s why Alex Sarr should be the Hawks' number one overall pick, boiled down to three main reasons: fit, potential, and the current position of the team.
1. The Perfect Fit
It's rare that the first player off the board perfectly fits a team's immediate needs, but that's exactly the case with Alex Sarr and the Hawks. The team has been on the lookout for long, athletic defenders, and their center position is due for an upgrade. While Clint Capela has been solid, imagine getting Capela’s defensive prowess combined with shooting, athleticism, and mobility. That’s what Alex Sarr brings to the table.
Sarr is a player who can pick and pop, making him an excellent fit with either Trae Young or Dejounte Murray. His ability to move side-to-side and shoot from the perimeter adds a dimension to the Hawks' offense that they currently lack. This fit is crucial for a team looking to evolve and maximize their star players' talents.
2. Sky-High Potential
Alex Sarr’s potential is off the charts. How often do you find a 7-foot player who can shoot threes, handle the ball, and showcase incredible athleticism? Sarr’s performances at the draft combine highlighted his quick footwork, lateral quickness, and impressive shooting ability. Shooting above 50% from beyond the arc while standing 7 feet tall with a 7'3" wingspan is just the beginning.
Defensively, Sarr is already recognized for his effectiveness. Combine that with his developing offensive game, and you have a player with superstar potential. His unique skill set and physical attributes make him a rare gem in any draft, let alone one where the Hawks have the top pick.
3. The Hawks' Position
The Atlanta Hawks might not find themselves with the number one pick again anytime soon. This is a golden opportunity to secure a player with immense upside, especially in a draft some are calling "down." When you have the chance to get the best player available, you take it.
Alex Sarr is the kind of talent that can transform a team. Pair him with Trae Young or Dejounte Murray, and you've got a core that can attract other big names. Imagine adding a player like Brandon Ingram or Paul George into that mix. The potential for building a championship contender is real, and it starts with drafting Sarr.
Conclusion
For the Atlanta Hawks, drafting Alex Sarr is a no-brainer. His fit with the team, his potential, and the unique position the Hawks are in all point to one clear decision. Sarr is the player who can elevate the team both now and in the future. If I'm in the Hawks' front office, I'm doing everything I can to get him in a Hawks jersey and start building around him.
So, to all Hawks fans, coaches, and GMs out there: make the smart move. Draft Alex Sarr number one overall and set the stage for a bright future.
