He won't get drafted, but anyone else think that Sacar has a chance at the "undrafted but find a way to stick" route?  I was looking at his stats in comparison to Wes, and they're fairly similar.  Sacar actually shot better from distance on more attempt as a Senior, and if you're looking for a cheap, young, 3 and D athletic guy for your 13th spot, you could do worse.

I'd be surprised, but not shocked. Possible if he puts the work in. It might be more like a Juan Toscano situation years down the road.

Agree and I think the same of Theo John next year.

Still a real head scratcher of a move for BB.
He's 23. you could either play for Marquette or go make money in Europe. Not really a choice in my mind. Wish him luck.

I don't see it. He can shoot a bit but his shot is way too slow and he isn't as explosive laterally. Sacar was one of my favorites so very much hope I'm wrong.

Well not getting sued for knowingly having herpes when having unprotected sex will probably help Sacar

Sacar is also 6 years younger than Jamil, plays a different position, and yes (hopefully) knows how to practice safe sex. 

If I had to bet, I would still put money down on 2 years in the G-League, then off to Europe.  But, while all the draft news has been about Markus, I don't think it would be all that surprising if Sacar end ups having a longer NBA career.  If you can get the reputation of a solid 3 and D player, you can have a pretty nice journeyman career i.e. Wes.

I think your assessment about Sacar is accurate. It just takes one coach to believe in what Sacar brings to the table and maybe he makes the most of the opportunity. Sacar has some decent tools to bring to the party .

Jamil made the most of his opportunity and then unfortunately the downside of the two way contract is he ran out of days and so the Clippers had to either sign him up for the rest of the season or let him go. They had no cap room so they had to let him go and bring up another two way player. Unfortunately then the lawsuit happened when Jamil was on the verge of being signed by the Lakers. Now it looks like he is a career European guy .

What "love" are you seeing?  I'm probably more optimistic about his chances than just about anyone, and I said best case he's the 13th man somewhere, and most likely he's in the G-League.  I just don't think the possibility of Sacar making it should be dismissed completely.

Sacar is a lock to have a fine NBA career. He’ll be a starter this season, he’ll be an All-Star in Year 3, and he has an outside shot at being a Hall of Famer.

Now THAT’S love!

Juan had size and athleticism that Sacar doesn’t. Buycks had skill levels Sacar doesn’t. He’s not in Jamil’s league either. And somebody actually compared him to Wesley.

Mind blowing.

Me again, weird how you won't actually respond to me  :o.

I don't think comparing a 6-5 220 lb G to a 6-5 210 lb G is "mind blowing"

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/sacar-anim-1.html

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/wesley-matthews-1.html

Wes definitely holds the edge in some categories, but Sacar certainly hold his own in others.

Again, not saying it's a lock like 82 (in teal) was, but the odds are above 0 like they currently are for Jayce or would have been for Ed, so given the title of the thread, I think it's worth discussing.

Above 0? Okay, I guess. But I wasn’t at all surprised that Wesley made it. He looked like an NBA player to me his senior year. Juan and Dwight were shocks, but they each had skills that translated. Like I said, I hope I’m missing something but I see nothing in Sacar’s game that merits an NBA career. Nothing.

You guys do realize that Marcus Howard isn't getting drafted........right?

oh wait.....now Sacar Anim is being talked about as sleeper NBA potential.  Unreal. 

No one wants to use a draft pick on a guard that's too small and had difficulty shooting against decent defenders.  Getting to the free throw line was how Howard filled up the stat sheet at MU.  That doesn't work in the NBA, nor does his inability to defend or pass.  Wojo didn't develop him enough at MU.  1 dimensional.  There's way more potential on the board.  Only way for him to make it is in the G league.  Europe is where he'll excel.

6-5 and I'd argue his frame would allow him to add another 10-15 lbs of muscle, and shot 40% from 3.  Won't argue overall potential against some of the players drafted, but when I see a 6-3 198 lb 29% three point shooter, and a 6-5 174 lb 36 % three point shooter (Maxey and Maledon respectively) get drafted, I can see a path for Sacar.  Again they're better overall prospects, but with size, shooting, and defensive ability/potential being at premiums right now, I think there may be a spot at the end of a bench for a 3 and D league minimum salary project.

Markus is just not a good NBA prospect. If you have those late second round picks, you take a flier on a 6’7” freak athlete. Not a 5’10” shooting guard who can’t play defense. Markus is Scottie Reynolds.

I'd still bet on him getting at least one NBA minute this year.
