i cant believe anyone thinks Sarr has more defensive upside than clingan. The ONLY reason not to take Clingan is if you worry about his injury history. Otherwise he is miles ahead of sarr by every metric. Sarr is not evan mobley. Lets get that out of the way. If he were, in any universe, Id say there was a discussion. But he is more john salley or kai jones than mobley. Im not even a giant fan of clingan. Big men with foot problems would concern me. Id take Sheppard #1 if it was me. Risacher is safe because the assumption is his floor is high, and i guess it is. His dad was a star in france. He knows the game. He has a nice feel for it. But he is at best an average defender. For the wizards anyone could help, even sarr i guess. But i think you have to look at Sarr's brother, too. Olivier Sarr got a two way contract in march for OKC. He barely played. He is a bit smaller than his kid brother, but has the same lack of core strength. A bubble roster guy, and sadly I see the same issues with alexandre. Anyway, i enjoy this blog, you guys do good work.
