"The French product has looked like a completely different player to start the season and considering the struggles throughout his rookie year, his leap up to this point of the season has been an encouraging sign for both the front office and the fanbase who's lost hope more times than once. Sarr looks like a rising star and his growing confidence is a major reason for his success this season."
"Looking at his increased aggressiveness, especially in the post, the 7-footer looks like a player who not only put in the work this offseason, but believes he belongs. Compared to his apparent lack of confidence last season, the fact that he's playing with a such high confidence on nearly every possession down will be huge for his development as the season moves forward."
"The Washington Wizards season has been full of highs and lows already and we're only a few weeks in to the regular season. Washington has already seen it all in the opening weeks of the season. Between sophomore leaps, sophomore slumps, inconsistent veteran play and questionable rotation decisions, the Wizards have plenty decisions to make moving forward. However, while the early string of losses may make the start to the season more negative than positive,"
Washington's season has included early highs and lows, with sophomore leaps and slumps, inconsistent veteran play, and questionable rotation choices forcing roster decisions. Early losses make the record look negative, but optimism exists thanks to notable individual improvement. Second-year center Alex Sarr has shown a major leap in confidence, aggressiveness, and physicality, particularly in the post. Sarr's offseason work translated into a more assertive style, attacking the basket rather than strictly serving as a stretch five. That role shift, combined with improved play, positions Sarr to become a core contributor and potential star as the season progresses.
