I'm going with Kyrie tonight for his slick haircut and even more sharp play. His offensive takeover in the 2nd and 3rd quarters was so entertaining to watch.
Finally, Alex Sarr does not look the part. I mean heck, he didn't look good in summer league but sheesh he looks like Kwame Brown out there. Zero offensive talent. He's constantly out of position on defense. He bites on every fake. He can't box out. BUT the athleticism is there.... I don't know. Maybe he puts it together eventually... I just don't see it with him. To me it looks like he conned the Wizards out of a lotto pick right now.
I said before the draft that I would not bet any money on which of the French picks will have the best career.
#1 Risacher
#2 Sarr
#6 Salaun
#25 Dadiet
#51 Ajinca
So far none of them have set the world on fire, but it seems it will be Risacher, although Dadiet still is the most interesting to me.
Our own Ajinca has barely played for ASVEL. 62 minutes through 6 of a possible 13 games in the EuroLeague. 59 minutes through 3 out of a possible 10 games in the French League. His first two games were promising with 9 PPG on 40% 3pt shooting. Third game last week was bad and dropped his percentages. Crazy part is that roughly 95% of his shot attempts are three pointers.
