Ben Saraf is a dynamic left handed guard, who has emerged as one of Europe’s most outstanding young basketball talents. Known for his exceptional playmaking skills, Saraf’s dime dropping is his standout skill, with the ability to deliver every type of pass and read defensive schemes effortlessly, making him a nightmare to guard. <\/p>
Saraf was selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 26th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Standing at above-average height for a guard, at 6-feet-5-inches, he already thrives as a floor-general, something like a Chris Paul in the NBA, orchestrating offenses with poise and vision that is far beyond what we typically expect from his age.<\/p>
His downhill drives, with sharp change of direction moves (elite acceleration and deceleration), makes him a constant threat, while his mid-range pulls up jumpers showcases a more polished scoring touch. With a solid shooting form, Saraf has the potential to develop into a reliable playmaking three-point threat. He turned heads by dropping 16 points for Ratiopharm Ulm in an exhibition game against the Portland Trail Blazers in October of 2024. Coached by his parents who also played basketball, Saraf models his game after his favorite NBA player, Luka Doncic, wearing No. 77 in his tribute. Multiple scouts have listed him as a great talent, who uses his basketball IQ on both ends of the court, marking him as a special talent poised for greatness in the NBA.<\/p>
