"Finishing with 27 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Sarr looked like the franchise player the Wizards drafted him to be when they selected him No. 2 overall last offseason. Receiving the first MVP chants of his career not only prove that the fanbase is behind him, but it proves that the big man is putting a sense of belief into a fanbase that has desperately needed something to believe in over the course of the last few years."
"Washington has struggled to find the cornerstone of the future, and for that reason, the fanbase has been relatively quiet when it comes to sending a positive message to their players. However, the emergence of Alex Sarr has given the fanbase a much-needed sense of validation that the rebuilding process is headed in the right direction with a potential cornerstone in place."
The Washington Wizards have lacked successful seasons and strong fan enthusiasm since the departures of John Wall and Bradley Beal. The franchise has struggled to identify a long-term cornerstone, leaving the fanbase relatively quiet. The emergence of Alex Sarr has injected validation into the rebuilding process and renewed fan belief. In the win over the Atlanta Hawks, Sarr recorded 27 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals while CJ McCollum scored 46. Sarr is averaging 18.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists with 52.3% field-goal and 35.4% three-point shooting, indicating star potential and valuable versatility.
