My Dive into Following Jelani Sarr
Alright, so I wanted to talk a bit about how I started tracking this young basketball player, Jelani Sarr. It wasn’t like some big mission or anything, more just something I stumbled into and kept up with.
It started pretty randomly, actually. I was just scrolling through some basketball clips online, you know, late one night, trying to unwind. Saw this highlight reel, didn’t even know who the guy was at first. But there was this one play, this tall dude moving super smoothly with the ball, making a pass that caught my eye. I thought, “Huh, who’s that?” The name on the screen was Jelani Sarr.
Getting Curious
So, my interest was piqued. I started searching his name up. Wasn’t looking for deep analysis, just more clips, basic info. Where’s he playing? How old is he? Stuff like that. Found out he was playing overseas, which seemed kinda interesting for a young prospect potentially heading to the draft.
I spent a few evenings just watching whatever footage I could find. You know how it is, you go down the rabbit hole. Some clips showed amazing potential – the size, the shooting touch, the fluidity. Looked really promising. Then other clips, maybe from full games, showed the rough edges. Sometimes he looked a bit lost, maybe forced things. It wasn’t all perfect.
Watching and Thinking
Here’s what I started doing:
- I tried finding box scores or simple game recaps from his team. Not always easy, but sometimes you get lucky.
- I looked at what fans were saying online. Not the “experts,” just regular folks watching the games. Sometimes you get good insights, sometimes it’s just noise, but it’s part of the fun.
- I specifically tried to watch for his decision-making. Does he make the right pass? Does he take good shots? That’s the stuff that tells you more than just highlights.
It became sort of a small hobby. Didn’t track every single game, life gets busy. But when I had some downtime, I’d check in, see if there were any new clips or news about him. It’s interesting to see a player develop, even from afar.
My Takeaways So Far
Honestly, I’m still just observing. He’s definitely got talent. The physical tools are there, no doubt. But like any young player, consistency seems like the big thing. Can he put it all together game after game? That’s the million-dollar question, right?
I don’t have any grand predictions. I’m not a scout or anything close. It’s just been interesting for me, personally, to follow someone’s journey like this from the ground level, before all the major hype or potentially after it cools off. It reminds me of tracking players back in the day, before everything was instantly analyzed everywhere. Just watching the games and forming your own, simple opinions. So yeah, that’s been my little project, just keeping an eye on Jelani Sarr when I can.
