Every NBA Team's Most Untouchable Player In Offseason Trades
NBA front offices might act like everyone on the roster is untouchable when trying to drive up offers, but most are lucky if they have just one player they'd never actually trade.
Ahead of what could be a swap-filled 2025 summer, we'll lay out the most off-limits name on every team.
One important note before we dive in: Between Luka Dončić switching teams at the most recent trade deadline and the upcoming flood of panic-fueled transactions spurred by the second apron, it's starting to seem like there's no such thing as a player who can't be traded.
That said, the names we'll list here will be the hardest ones to pry away.
Atlanta Hawks: Zaccharie Risacher
1 of 30
All-Rookie first-teamer and former No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher isn't totally untouchable.
Both he and Most Improved Player Dyson Daniels are productive, young building blocks still on their rookie-scale deals, hugely valued assets in the second-apron era. But if the Milwaukee Bucks called up and asked for both in a package for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Hawks would readily include them in a future mortgaging trade for an in-prime superstar.
This highlights a truth that'll apply several other times in this exercise: Most teams would trade anyone for the right price. It'd just take an extreme offer to pry Atlanta's rookie wing away.
Boston Celtics: Jayson Tatum
2 of 30
If the Boston Celtics want to trim money from what could be a $500 million payroll and tax bill, they're going to consider drastic options. That might include moving one or more of Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White and even Jaylen Brown.
Don't expect Jayson Tatum to join that group of potential cost-cutting casualties.
Boston's thinking seems to focus on revamping the roster and payroll situation so it's ready to compete once Tatum returns from his ruptured Achilles in 2026-27—or perhaps when he's fully recovered in 2027-28. It's a bold plan that involves at least one gap year, some very tough decisions and faith in Tatum being good enough to occupy a major role upon return.
It'd be fascinating to see what other teams might offer for Tatum over the summer, knowing they'd have to pay $54.1 million for him to sit on the bench next year and another $260 million through 2029-30. The Brooklyn Nets maxed out Kevin Durant following his own Achilles tear, so there's a precedent for moves like that, but it'd be a true shocker if we ever found out in Tatum's case.
The Celtics will trade everyone else on the roster before they consider moving him.
Brooklyn Nets: Cam Johnson
3 of 30
It's not that the Brooklyn Nets won't trade Cam Johnson. It's that we know teams have tried to acquire him but failed to meet the team's price for the sweet-shooting forward in the recent past.
Compared to the rest of the Nets' roster, that counts as untouchable. Because Brooklyn, in the midst of a protracted rebuild, would willingly ship out virtually everyone else for peanuts (or draft picks).
Brooklyn dealt away Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith last season for returns headlined by second-round picks. Presumably, the "steeper price" Brooklyn laid out for Johnson offers, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst, involved first-round assets.
The Nets have good reason to drive a hard bargain. Johnson is a quality starter at a valuable combo forward position, and he's on the books for $20.5 million in 2025-26, plus one more season after that at $22.5 million.
They'll trade him eventually, but the return will have to be substantial.

Charlotte Hornets: Brandon Miller
4 of 30
Compared to LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller is younger, cheaper and more durable. That we can confidently apply that last descriptor to Miller in the wake of him missing 55 games in his sophomore season says everything you need to know about Ball's health situation.
Picked second in the 2023 draft, Miller delivered a promising rookie year marked by more self-created offense than expected. He put up 17.3 points per game and shot 37.3 percent from deep, finishing third in Rookie of the Year voting. His second season was off to a similarly encouraging start, as Miller was averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists—all career highs—before a wrist injury ended his campaign at just 27 games.
Ball has been an All-Star, and he's only entering his age-24 season. But he shows up in trade rumors far more often than Miller because he's had a half-decade to prove he's a cornerstone and hasn't quite pulled it off. Miller may not meet that standard either, but he's got a longer runway and makes less than a third of Ball's $38 million salary in 2025-26.
Chicago Bulls: Matas Buzelis
5 of 30
The Chicago Bulls aren’t big on full-scale rebuilds, but even they understand the value of young players with upside. Coming off a rookie year marked by 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists on a 45.4/36.1/81.5 shooting split, Matas Buzelis is the closest thing Chicago has to a potential star—at least among the players they intend to keep around for a while.
Coby White is probably the Bulls’ best player. A fringe-All-Star type, he put up 20.4 points last season. But because the Chicago signed him to such a team-friendly contract, it almost certainly can't extend him off this year’s expiring $12.8 million salary. That sets him up for unrestricted free agency, which the Bulls would be wise to avoid by trading him.
Josh Giddey is the other candidate, but even after shining in the second half, the real reason he’s not going anywhere has more to do with the Bulls’ matching rights in restricted free agency than anything else.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Evan Mobley
6 of 30
For the second straight year, the Cleveland Cavaliers exited the playoffs earlier than they would have liked. While that disappointing result and Cleveland’s skyrocketing payroll could spur some semi-rash action, don’t expect to see anything truly unhinged—like an Evan Mobley trade.
“We’re going to go as a franchise as Evan is going to go,” Cavs president Koby Altman told reporters in a postseason news conference. “We’ve had that conversation with Evan. … We think we have one of the best big men in the game in Evan Mobley.”
And now, one of the most expensive.
Mobley’s DPOY win means the max extension he signed last summer is now a supermax worth up to 30 percent of the salary cap. He’s now on the books through 2029-30 and will earn $51 million in the final year of his deal.
Even on a roster featuring All-NBA first-teamer Donovan Mitchell and two-time All-Star Darius Garland, the Cavs would hold onto Mobley most tightly. He’s not going anywhere.
Dallas Mavericks: Cooper Flagg
7 of 30
Cooper Flagg isn’t even on the roster yet, but we can’t pretend anyone else in the Dallas Mavericks’ employ competes with him for untouchability.
Billed as a generational talent, the Duke product is a lock to come off the board at No. 1, instantly becoming the Mavericks' bridge to whatever comes after a short-lived and ill-advised title chase built around Anthony Davis and a currently injured Kyrie Irving.
Technically, Dallas could trade this pick. Or it could opt for someone other than Flagg at No. 1.
The odds of either scenario are lower than the 1.8 percent chance the Mavs had at landing the top selection in the first place.
Denver Nuggets: Nikola Jokić
8 of 30
Quick check: Do the Nuggets have anyone on the roster with four MVP awards?
No? Well, then that settles it.
Nikola Jokić is perhaps the single most indispensable player on any team. Skim Denver’s on-off data of the last few years, and you’ll note just how sideways things go whenever Jokić is off the floor. This past season, for example, the Nuggets' net rating was 21.3 points per 100 possessions worse with Joker on the bench than when he played. That’s not even the biggest differential of the last 10 years; that honor goes to 2022-23, when the team's net rating plunged by 24.8 without Jokić on the floor.
Firmly in the category of “he’s not changing teams unless he demands to,” Jokić is the best player in the world and the only thing preventing a Nuggets team that won a title in the not-so-distant past from slipping into the lottery.
You never, ever trade a player like that.
Detroit Pistons: Cade Cunningham
9 of 30
Averages of 25.0 points, 8.7 assists and 8.3 rebounds are exceptional, but Cade Cunningham's playoff debut wasn't just special for the numbers alone. The mere fact that those stats exist was a pretty big deal.
The Detroit Pistons hadn't seen the postseason since 2018-19, and they hadn't won a playoff game since 2008. Coming off a 14-win season in 2023-24, it's hard to overstate just how far off a return to the postseason seemed for the Pistons.
Cunningham powered them to 44 victories in the regular season and ended the playoff-win drought with a pair of breakthroughs in the first round against the New York Knicks.
No. 1 overall picks are supposed to turn franchises around, and the 23-year-old (with some help) did exactly that. In possession of a supermax contract and fresh off the primary role in Detroit's best season in years, Cunningham is his team's cornerstone.
Golden State Warriors: Stephen Curry
10 of 30
If a machine ran the Golden State Warriors, it would have traded two-time MVP Stephen Curry away sometime in the summer of 2019. That's when Kevin Durant left in a sign-and-trade and Klay Thompson was just beginning what would ultimately be two-plus years of time on the shelf.
The opportunity for a natural reset was obvious.
Sentiment—and faith in a fractured core that had won three championships—kept the team together and produced a fourth title in 2022. Then, last year, the Warriors dealt away assets for Jimmy Butler to give Curry the best possible chance at a fifth ring. It didn't work out, but the team again chose not to consider the coldest, most calculated move: trading Curry.
Knowing all that, and understanding how central Curry is to the franchise and the entire Bay Area sports culture, there is no chance the team will ever trade Steph. Unless he asks for it.
Curry, Draymond Green and Butler are all under contract through the 2026-27 season. If Curry's tenure is going to end in Golden State, it'll be then and not before.
Houston Rockets: Amen Thompson
11 of 30
We've had a few easy calls in a row, but the Houston Rockets and their glut of intriguing young talent are a little trickier.
The team handed pricey extensions to Alperen Sengün and Jalen Green prior to the 2024-25 season and then watched the former make his first All-Star appearance while the latter played all 82 games for the second year in a row. Green floundered in the playoffs, but he is still just 23 and totes a career scoring average of 20.1 points per game.
Then there's Jabari Smith Jr., a multi-position defender who can protect the paint and hit jumpers, plus former No. 3 pick Reed Sheppard, veteran lynchpin Fred VanVleet and walking bucket Cam Whitmore.
Thompson is more valuable than all of them. An A-plus athlete who made the All-Defensive first team, the spring-loaded wing seized a starting job midway through the year and established himself as one of the top young players in the league.
Playmaking instincts, elite rebounding for his position and unsurpassed defensive disruption make Thompson a foundational asset. If the Rockets swing a deal for a superstar, they'll work hardest to keep Thompson out of it.
Indiana Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton
12 of 30
With the Indiana Pacers in the Finals and the Sacramento Kings looking unnervingly like the West's version of the go-nowhere Chicago Bulls, is it time to declare the Tyrese Haliburton-for-Domantas Sabonis swap of 2022 an official heist?
Or is it just cruel to bring it up in the first place?
Haliburton is the central figure in the Pacers' rise to prominence. He's certainly not the only party responsible for one of the league's most exciting and effective offenses, but it's impossible to imagine Indy playing with this much verve and tactical savvy without him at the controls.
The point guard is one of those rare players who lifts teammates and plays a style that breeds confidence. His game is contagious in all the right ways.
Trading Haliburton would wreck a huge portion of what's so great about the Pacers. He's more likely to have a statue built in Indiana than to be traded this summer.
LA Clippers: Ivica Zubac
13 of 30
Kawhi Leonard is the Los Angeles Clippers' best player, but his inconsistent availability is his defining feature.
You'd imagine L.A. would move him (along with the remaining two years and $100 million on his deal) for a younger, perhaps inferior option—just so its fate wouldn't be tied to one player's health every season.
James Harden earned an All-NBA nod this past year and should return on a multiyear agreement after declining his player option. He'll be 36 before the 2025-26 campaign begins and could fall off completely at any time.
That leaves Ivica Zubac, who broke out in 2024-25 and might now be rightly considered one of the top six or seven centers in the entire NBA. Across 80 games last year, he averaged 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 62.8 percent shooting, earning All-NBA consideration and a sixth-place finish in Defensive Player of the Year voting.
Under contract through 2027-28, when his salary will top out at just $20.9 million, Zubac is one of the top values in the league and the only prominent Clipper young enough (28) to anchor the team's next era.
Los Angeles Lakers: Luka Dončić
14 of 30
Luka Dončić was traded a little less than four months ago, so maybe it seems strange to slap an "untouchable" label on him.
Maybe we need to specify that he's untouchable if anyone other than Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison is involved in the decision. The more distance we get from one of the most shocking trades in recent history, well...the more shocking it seems.
In Dončić, the Los Angeles Lakers have a bridge to their post-LeBron James era. He'll be the superstar cornerstone upon which the franchise's next decade is built.
The only way that'll change is if Harrison's justification for moving Dončić this past February—poor conditioning and shoddy defense—reaches a point where Los Angeles winds up with the same concerns.
Of course, if you view the trade from Dallas to L.A. as a wake-up call for Dončić, it's pretty hard to imagine his bad habits continuing.
Memphis Grizzlies: Jaren Jackson Jr.
15 of 30
Jaren Jackson Jr. narrowly fell short of making an All-NBA team for 2024-25, which removed the possibility of him signing an extension for up to five years and $345 million.
That will make it tougher for him and the Memphis Grizzlies to come to terms on a new agreement, but it's telling that the team's obvious top priority this summer remains extending its partnership with the defensive star.
Ja Morant certainly occupied/occupies "face of the franchise" status in Memphis, but his suspensions, rule-flouting and injury-related unavailability make him a problematic centerpiece. One more major health issue or instance of irresponsible behavior, and it wouldn't be hard to imagine the Grizzlies deciding enough is enough.
Jackson outperformed Morant in 2024-25 anyway, and he's the kind of two-way anchor good teams rarely trade. Whether via a renegotiate-and-extend agreement or a standard four-year extension, the Grizzlies will still offer Jackson as much as they possibly can this offseason.
Conversely, they might entertain offers for Morant, Desmond Bane and several other key figures.
Miami Heat: Bam Adebayo
16 of 30
"There's going to be a lot of changes this summer," Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo told reporters following his team's postseason elimination. "Just be prepared for that."
One change Adebayo won't need to prepare for: a trade involving him.
The Heat tend to be ambitious, and their four-game sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers should nudge them even further toward drastic action. That could mean moving Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, future first-rounders or even all of the above if the right player becomes available.
Adebayo will be excepted from any offseason trade talks. He's Miami's top defensive player and the only guy with a proven track record of high-end performances on the postseason's biggest stage. It was less than two years ago that he put up 21.8 points and 12.4 rebounds per game in the 2023 Finals.
The Heat will make moves to build around Bam long before they send him out in a trade package.
Milwaukee Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo
17 of 30
Yes, Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be this offseason's trade-speculation focal point. And yes, that's because the Milwaukee Bucks appear closer than ever to receiving the long-dreaded trade request from the guy who led them to the 2021 title.
Choosing Giannis here feels wrong because his departure has never seemed more imminent.
That doesn't change the fact that the Bucks would rather trade everyone else on the roster five times over before considering anything involving Antetokounmpo. Without a specific indication from Giannis, Milwaukee won't move him. When and if he communicates a desire to disembark the sinking ship that is the Bucks, it'll be "game on" and offers will flood in from all over the league.
That's the last thing the Bucks want, but it's probably what they're going to get.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Anthony Edwards
18 of 30
It's telling that the Minnesota Timberwolves wouldn't consider dealing Anthony Edwards for a player the entire league thought was off limits.
Sam Amick of The Athletic reported that prior to sending Luka Dončić to the Lakers, "Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison reached out to the Timberwolves and asked if there was any chance they’d be willing to trade Edwards. He was promptly told no."
As great as Dončić has been in his early career, Minnesota's stance made sense.
Edwards is over two years younger than Dončić, has improved his scoring average every year (career-best 27.6 points per game in 2024-25), plays both ends at elite levels and is basically Dončić's complete opposite from a durability and leadership standpoint—in a good way.
Ant has logged at least 79 games in each of the last three years, earning All-Star nods in all of them, and has reached the Western Conference Finals the last two postseasons. He's lauded for his relationships with teammates and would be a laughably bad choice to attack on D.
Dončić has done more to date and might still outperform Edwards over the next decade or so. But Ant is the far safer bet and could easily reach a higher level overall.
New Orleans Pelicans: Trey Murphy III
19 of 30
New Orleans has several good players on team-friendly contracts. Herb Jones and Yves Missi come to mind. But Murphy is the one with the most promise, and it doesn't hurt that the team committed to him on an extension just last summer.
Though he also missed time to injury in 2024-25, Murphy showed enough in averaging 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists to solidify his position going forward.
New York Knicks: Jalen Brunson
20 of 30
The New York Knicks have had their share of iconic players, but Jalen Brunson has put himself in a position to join the pantheon.
His arrival in New York kicked off one of the franchise's most successful eras in decades, and he sweetened the pot by signing a below-market offer on his last deal that enabled the Knicks to add more supporting talent.
That's the kind of thing—along with elite clutch play, legendary toughness and lots of success—that endears a player to a franchise on a whole other level.
Brunson is an All-NBA superstar and perennial short-list MVP candidate who might only make a couple million bucks more than Josh Giddey next year.
You don't trade beloved figures on dirt-cheap (relatively speaking) deals.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
21 of 30
The way he's hoarded them over the years, you might think Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti prizes first-round picks over any other commodity. But that's overthinking it; he would set all that draft capital on fire and sell off everyone else on the roster before he'd part ways with MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
SGA is the offensive engine of what should be a title threat for years to come. Though he's indisputably the Thunder's most important player, he adds extra value by buying into a collective mindset that makes OKC one of the most tightly-knit operations in memory.
If one Thunder player does a postgame on-court interview, they all do. Whenever SGA is at the table in the media room, a teammate is with him. In addition to league-best offensive production and fringe All-Defensive work on the other end, Gilgeous-Alexander is among the most team-oriented stars we've ever seen.
He'd be untradable regardless, but that culture-setting bonus puts his value in the stratosphere.
Orlando Magic: Paolo Banchero
22 of 30
The only way the Orlando Magic would consider trading Paolo Banchero is if they could get back an offensive player even better than he is. In the 23-and-under crowd, those don't really exist.
Banchero was an All-Star for the first time in 2023-24 and would have earned the honor again if an oblique injury hadn't knocked him out in the early part of the 2024-25 season. His blend of sheer physical strength, mobility and shot-creating prowess call to mind a combination of Blake Griffin and Carmelo Anthony.
On a Magic team that desperately needs offense, Banchero's skills are doubly in demand.
The list of 22-year-olds who have scored at least 25.9 points per game in a season, which Banchero did last year, isn't long.
A lock to sign a maximum rookie-scale extension this summer, Banchero might already have enough clout to start not-so-subtly urging the Magic's front office to get him some offensive help.
Philadelphia 76ers: Tyrese Maxey
23 of 30
Joel Embiid is untouchable for all the worst reasons, led by exorbitant cost (four years, $248.1 million) and uncertain health. If you wanted to get as bleak as possible, you could even argue his health is a certainty—in that it simply won't hold up over a full season ever again.
Paul George, the Philadelphia 76ers' second-priciest player (three years, $162 million), has a similarly prohibitive price/health combo working against him.
That leaves Tyrese Maxey, the Sixers' only player who checks the "young," "star-caliber" and "properly paid" boxes.
The assumption should be that the Sixers will retain all three of those guys, hope for better injury luck and supplement the rotation with the cost-controlled value of the No. 3 pick in this year's draft. But whatever their plans are in the short and long term, Maxey is going to be a prominent figure.
Heading into his age-24 season with an All-Star nod already on his resumé, he's arguably the only certainty Philly has on its roster.
Phoenix Suns: Devin Booker
24 of 30
Devin Booker played 75 games this past season and failed to earn an All-NBA nod. He wasn't even an All-Star, despite finishing with averages of 25.6 points, a career-high 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds.
Don't expect the Phoenix Suns to sell Booker's stock, particularly when it seems to be trading near its five-year lows.
Phoenix obviously has to do something to free up flexibility as it heads into 2025-26 toting a second-apron price tag and lacking the draft picks to a) trade its way out of trouble, or b) justify a tank. But the Suns will work hard to deal Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal (if he chooses not to exercise his no-trade powers) before they move down the triage chart to Booker.
The Houston Rockets have some of Phoenix's draft capital and could certainly use an offensive threat of Booker's quality, but it doesn't seem like the Suns have reached that level of desperation just yet.
Portland Trail Blazers: Scoot Henderson
25 of 30
Shaedon Sharpe, Deni Avdija, Anfernee Simons and Toumani Camara all averaged more points per game than Scoot Henderson during the Portland Trail Blazers' post-All-Star-break surge last season—a run that produced a plus-2.6 net rating across the team's final 27 games.
Henderson, the No. 3 pick in the 2023 draft, is still the most important under-25 player on a Blazers team that has more than its share of them.
The point guard rebounded from a difficult rookie year and showed some of the flashes that triggered hyperbolic pre-draft comparisons to Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul. That's not to say Henderson has a Hall of Fame career ahead of him, but the strides he made as a finisher, shot-creator and all-around contributor last year still mark him as the Blazers' highest-upside commodity.
Modest as they might seem, Henderson's averages of 12.7 points and 5.1 assists with a 35.4 percent hit rate from deep were exceedingly rare. Only seven other 20-year-olds have ever matched those numbers over a full season, and six of them went on to become All-Stars.
Sacramento Kings: Keegan Murray
26 of 30
The front office that drafted Keegan Murray in 2022 is no longer in power, so there's no telling what might happen to the three-year vet this summer.
That said, if the 24-year-old follows De'Aaron Fox (and perhaps Domantas Sabonis) out the door, it'll be a sign that the Sacramento Kings are well and truly starting over.
Murray finished fifth in Rookie of the Year voting and shot 41.1 percent from deep in 2022-23. He then developed into one of the better perimeter defenders at the forward spot while upping his scoring average to 15.2 points per game in his second season. Last year represented a step backward, but nobody was their best self on the 2024-25 Kings.
The Iowa product is the closest thing to a young building block as Sacramento has, and he could sign a rookie-scale extension this offseason.
On a roster full of players who generally fall into two categories—players no one wants and players who want out—Murray stands out and should be expected to stick around.
San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama
27 of 30
It's tough to come up with scenarios in which the San Antonio Spurs would even consider trading the apparently-still-growing Victor Wembanyama.
Maybe his increasing height will make finding enough fabric to sew his jerseys too costly. Or maybe the league, in an effort to further juice offense, would consider assessing flagrant fouls to anyone who blocks a shot.
Barring truly absurd developments like those, Wemby will stay in San Antonio for as long as he wants to. It's not an exaggeration to call him the least likely player to be traded in the entire league.
Toronto Raptors: Scottie Barnes
28 of 30
Scottie Barnes' max rookie extension kicks in next season, a pay raise that'll cement his status as the Toronto Raptors' foundational star.
Barnes has seen former mainstays Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet head out the door during his four years with the team, and he now finds himself shouldering the high-profile status and accountability those veterans once shared.
Toronto could consider moving RJ Barrett to offset the cost of Brandon Ingram's extension, and it's possible some buyer's remorse on Immanuel Quickley could spur a reshuffling at the point. But Barnes is set up to be a fixture around which the Raptors tinker for at least the next half-decade.
One of seven players in league history to average at least 17.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists across the first four years of his career, Barnes has earned serious job security.
Utah Jazz: No One
29 of 30
We saved this cop-out answer that could have applied to several rebuilding or star-deprived teams because it applies best to the Utah Jazz, a team that has plenty of young talent but nothing approximating a cornerstone.
Lauri Markkanen is their most established name, but the one-time All-Star was a fixture on the rumor mill just last summer. And he would have spent 2024-25 as a hot topic in the fake-trade economy if he hadn't signed an extension that made moving him impossible. Now no longer subject to that post-extension restriction, the Finn is bound to be the subject of trade chatter once again.
His chances of being on the Jazz a year from now are a coin-flip at best.
After him, who else would even come close to deserving the "untouchable" label? Keyonte George? Kyle Filipowski? Isaiah Collier? Come on.
It's easier to find players the Jazz will almost certainly trade—Collin Sexton, John Collins, Jordan Clarkson—than it is to find someone they wouldn't.
Washington Wizards: Alex Sarr
30 of 30
There's a case for Bilal Coulibaly here, but context helps clear things up.
The promising wing was even worse during his age-19 rookie season (2023-24) than Alex Sarr was this past year. And that's saying something because Sarr graded out in the second percentile in Estimated Wins Added among all 2024-25 contributors.
Coulibaly? You guessed it: first percentile.
As a rookie, Sarr showed flashes of ball-handling and deep shooting most big men don't, and he projects to be an impactful defender at a critical position.
Though his overall scoring efficiency (39.4 percent from the field) is terrifyingly poor, Sarr has enough intriguing qualities to earn him a nod over his fellow Frenchman—especially in the wake of the wing's up-and-down sophomore season.
Sarr is far from a safe bet to even become a quality starter down the road, but he's the best candidate the rebuilding Wizards have in that category.
