A bit premature to say that don’t you think?

Not really. They arent saying he cant be the #1 in this draft, but when you think #1 pick you are imaging a guy who could be a top 20 player someday. Thats more of what they are saying. He just isnt an elite can't miss prospect.

It's likely no one separates themselves this year as a clear #1 pick. As much as I like Sarr, it's more the idea of Sarr. His last game he put up 0 points and 3 rebounds in 13 minutes. He has the look of a #1 pick. He has elite size, tools, and athletic ability.

Ron Holland is like 6'6, maybe 200 lbs. He doesnt have any elite basketball skills. He's a high level athlete, but I don't think he is in the top 10% of NBA athletes (probably right around the 10-15%). 2 games in he hasnt done anything mind blowing. NBA scouts/teams dont have a high level of respect for G-League production, so if you arent dominating it's concerning and Scoot's ****** start isnt helping those concerns (as he is another guy who didnt dominate the G-League, but coasted off hype). Not saying he sucks, but he I don't think he is a franchise guy at all and may be someone who never makes an ASG.

I think he is pretty elite defensively or at least has the defensive versatility to be an elite defender at the next level. I’m surprised you aren’t more high on him since Bilal’s defensive ability is what drew you towards him.

Bilal was also 6'8 w/ a 7'2 wingspan and an actual elite athlete.

Holland legit looks comparable to Bennedict Mathurin -- 6'6" / 205 lbs.

That's a good comparison

I know Holland was billed as a defensive player in HS, but I'm not seeing it. Not saying he is a bad defender. I dont know that yet, but I'm not seeing someone I would consider a defensive prospect.

Collier. just keep watching the dude. if he doesn't look like one to you now, he will win you over.

I liked him and I know nothing other than a couple game clips. He looks solid but more of a Chancey Billups type to me. Totally guessing.

He looks strong but not super explosive with quickness or leaping ability. He gets where he wants to but there isn't enough separation to get me super hyped about him... yet.

The top of the draft seems to have some nice players but none that have me super hyped yet.
