"Following his rookie campaign, all eyes were on the former No. 2 overall pick to not only live up to expectations, but prove that Washington didn't make a mistake when swinging on his potential. Thoughout his trying first season in the league, the jury was out on Sarr's long-term projectory, Teams believed that the 7-footer was destined to be just a solid role player that could make some defensive stops every now and then."
"Sarr has improved arguably the weakest part of his game, which was his offensive efficiency inside the paint. However, his offensive improvement isn't the only area of his game the Wizards big man improved. In fact, the forward improved one major area of his game that many didn't even know he needed to work on. Alex Sarr has become an elite shot contester"
Alex Sarr entered the season amid skepticism after a difficult rookie year and questions about his long-term trajectory. Teams originally projected the 7-footer as a role player capable of occasional defensive stops. Sarr used the offseason to address weaknesses and returned showing clear improvement in offensive efficiency inside the paint. The forward also strengthened an underappreciated facet of his game by becoming an elite shot contester. Defensive versatility combined with developing offensive polish has shifted perceptions and positioned Sarr as a rising, foundational piece the Wizards can potentially build around.
