French big man Olivier Sarr enters NBA Draft 2021

Calipari on Sarr: "At the end of the day, you are talking about a 7-foot skilled big man who can shoot it and block shots. He is only going to get better"

French big man Olivier Sarr announced Tuesday he will forgo his remaining eligibility and declare for the 2021 NBA Draft.

Sarr spent a season at Kentucky after transferring from Wake Forest.
He averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, shooting 47% from the field, 44% from long range and 79% from the foul line.

I am so happy for @sarr_olivier and excited to see what he does with this next step in his journey, Olivier really improved himself this season, yet he still has a ton of room to grow and has the type of skills that translate to that next level. https://t.co/trgO8ddYYk
