Dame Sarr joined the Duke basketball program this offseason with a ton of hype. He had professional experience with FC Barcelona, and many thought he could’ve been a first-round selection in the 2025 NBA Draft had he entered his name instead of playing college basketball. With that, the expectations were that he would be a lottery pick after one season with the Blue Devils but that has not come to fruition. In ESPN’s latest mock draft, Sarr is projected to be the No. Given his draft projections, and the all-important money aspect in today’s college basketball, it feels vital that Jon Scheyer and his coaching staff find a way to keep Dame Sarr in Durham for his sophomore season.
