French prospect Alex Sarr to join Perth Wildcats

French prospect Alex Sarr will play for the Perth Wildcats next season.

Per ESPN, Sarr, who stands just under 7-foot-1 in shoes, with a 7-4½ wingspan, is projected as the No. 17 pick in ESPN’s 2024 mock draft. He spent the past two years at Overtime Elite (OTE) in Atlanta after previously playing for Real Madrid’s youth team in Spain.

“I’ve been looking for a new challenge,” Sarr said. “The OTE experience was great. I had all the resources in the world and improved a lot the past two years. I need to take the next step with my game now; the NBL is what I need.”
