No. 2 pick Sarr making Justin Edwards look good

[Smashcat]

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, went through some growing pains on Tuesday night in a Las Vegas Summer League game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Sarr didn't score in 30 minutes of action, going 0-for-15 from the field and 0-for-7 from 3-point range. ESPN Stats & Information discovered it was the most field-goal attempts without a basket in Summer League action since at least 2017. He also shot 0-for-2 at the foul line. Despite the putrid shooting display, Sarr did haul in nine rebounds while dishing out three assists and blocking three shots in Washington's 82-80 loss. In three Summer League games, Sarr has averaged 6.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 blocks. He is shooting just 19.5 percent overall and 11.8 percent from deep. The Wizards are 1-2 in Las Vegas.

Jared McCain has sucked in the games I have watched too.

Less than 20% overall???? 12% from 3?? I think you would actually have to try to be that bad.

We had always heard it was a weak class for star power coming into college and that it was also a weak draft. The fact that the top 5 players coming out of HS that played college basketball were:

1. Isaiah Collier - 29th pick
2. Aaron Bradshaw - returning
3. Justin Edwards - undrafted
4. Cody Williams - 10th pick
5. DJ Wagner - returning

That is unprecedented. Edwards is the first top 3 HS recruit to not be drafted since recruiting rankings started. And now you have someone like Sarr struggling. Who knows what the future holds for a lot of these guys, but seems players ranked lower coming out of HS are going to have a higher impact than the top guys.

I have the #2 pick in my NBA dynasty league this year and it feels like a forgone conclusion that Sheppard will go #1. Who would you all take with that second pick? Right now Im thinking Dilly or Castle but not overly thrilled about either.
