NBL Next Star Alexandre Sarr has been invited to the NBA Draft green room.

It's less than two weeks until the 2024 NBA Draft and if the buzz surrounding Alexandre Sarr wasn't already clear, perhaps an invite to the green room provides some more certainty.

Many experts have Sarr among the top three selections and he's now been confirmed as one of just 12 early invitees to the green room at the event.

The green room is reserved for only the top draft prospects, giving them and their family an opportunity to enjoy the event and create incredible memories.

The NBL Next Star made all posts a winner at the Perth Wildcats this season, averaging 9.4 rebounds, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, across 27 appearances.

The 19-year-old is looking to follow in the footsteps of fellow Frenchman Victor Wembanyama, who was the number one selection in last season's NBA Draft and had an outstanding debut season.

The Athletic and Bleacher Report currently have Sarr as the first pick in their mock draft, while ESPN, Yahoo! and The Ringer have him pegged as the second overall selection.

The NBA Draft will be held on June 26.
