NBA Draft: 7’1 Next French Sensation Could Keep Trae Young Away From Victor Wembanyama & Lakers’ Grasp As Hawks Draw #1 Pick

The San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers might have to take a step back in pursuing Trae Young. Of course, there is that rumor that LA is already behind with Young’s sudden move from Klutch Sports. But a mere agency change wouldn’t probably change their plans if the Purple & Gold are indeed looking to get ‘Ice Trae’ in their colors next season.

Although, all of this seems to take a backseat in light of the latest news about the Atlanta Hawks. In what was an unpredictable turn of events, the Blackhawks ended up getting the No.1 pick in the 2024-25 NBA Draft season. As such, yet another 7’1, 19-year-old, Frenchman has become the star of being the predicted top pick in what is widely believed to be a lackluster draft group.

Alexandre Sarr, or simply, Alex Sarr, the Bordeaux-born, French center has been projected as No. 1 for the Hawks. The Athletic’s Zach Harper posted what could be one move Atlanta might employ for the coming season. “The Hawks are going to take Alex Sarr and tell Trae Young, “we have Wemby at home.””
