Sarr’s final tally after four summer games: 9 of 47 from the floor, 22.6 percent true shooting, 3.8 PER. Yikes. That PER mark was the worst of any first-rounder at summer league. Let’s not just focus on the make-or-miss (or miss-and-miss, in Sarr’s case). Shooting variance can lead us astray when evaluating a short tournament like this. Assists and blocks translate from summer league much more reliably than field goal percentages. Sarr showed facility as a passer, with 13 dimes in four games, and a rim protector. He posted a 7.5-percent block rate in summer league and visibly affected several other attempts. Defensively, he should be NBA-ready from Day 1.
Sarr’s biggest areas of concern are his hands and shot profile. His passing gives him potential as a short roller, but he has to catch the ball first; the same goes for his work on the glass, where contested rebounds are a real problem. In both situations, there are too many times when he looks like a backup tight end trying to trap the ball against his pads.
