Arizona Preps Scouting Report: I have marveled since I first saw Sadler take the floor, as he is very unassuming as a player. While he is smaller in stature and lacks any real size to his smaller frame, he simply dominates his competition still with a playing style that does not exude much effort. In other words, Sadler makes the game look easy when he is in his large bag of tricks. Sadler is a floor general - the best I have seen in the country. He makes plays consistently with the ball in his hands and gets a lot done. He really enjoys himself when he is on his game, as he has a smile on his face after he gets busy that proves that he was in a special zone all of his own. Sadler is an excellent scorer and shooter of the basketball also and with excellent range and a quick release on his shot. He is able to get it off consistently also and can really get it going in a hurry. Sadler is an excellent and immediate impact point guard prospect for any level, and is a future star in the making.
