Alexandre Sarr is not necessarily very well known in France, he who left for Real Madrid at the age of 15, but his name could soon be that of a avant-garde. Obviously influenced by the career of his big brother Olivier in the United States (Wake Forrest and Kentucky), the young interior took a decision revolutionary on the way to the NBA!
Even for a while, it was very difficult for young French people to dream of the NBA… There were few bridges, and those who attempted the big leap across the Atlantic were not necessarily in a position to shine. Then came Tony Parker. Then came Michael Pietrus. Then came Nicolas Batum …
Today the French are numerous in the big league, and they occupy increasingly important positions. Rudy Gobert is a confirmed All-Star, centerpiece of one of the best teams in the league and an all-time defender. Evan Fournier was traded to the Celtics in order to save the season of this legendary franchise, when Theo Maledon is one of the big hopes in the lead …
And in the future, there will be even more ways to join the NBA. Yes Victor Wembanyama made the choice of EuroLeague by signing with a cador, the young Alexandre Sarr, 16, has chosen a less well-known, but very beneficial path. It could open the door to many other young people in France.

We would like to welcome Frenchman Alexandre Sarr, who has just signed with Overtime Elite.
Alexandre Sarr, young interior of Real Madrid, will therefore join the brand new “Overtime Elite” league! He will be able to progress by rubbing shoulders with other exceptional young players, while touching a contract of $ 100,000, which is far from negligible at this age. According to the site Eurospects.com he is the 9th best European of the 2005 generation, and his new leaders are eager to find out. They spoke to Forbes.
Alexandre comes from a family of basketball players, he knows the rigor necessary to reach the top level. With his experience at Real Madrid, he will bring early professionalism that will be of great benefit to his new teammates and to our entire league. He’s a great athlete, a natural blocker and a comfortable rebounder on both sides of the court.
Hopefully for Alexandre Sarr that this decision will be the right one and that it will allow him to progress to the point of to become a serious NBA prospect! We know that Real Madrid are not recruiting just anyone, so they could make noise across the Atlantic!
