"Tonight you saw ... something different - his playmaking. They put two [defenders] on the ball. ... [Sarr's] playing in the short pocket, and he's able to make good reads," Wizards Coach Brian Keefe said. "... I thought he was a pretty unique passer and saw the game well [when I first watched him]. I thought that would be something we could utilize at this level."
Sarr shot 5 for 11 from the field and knocked down 1 of 2 three-point attempts, continuing a recent stretch of strong shooting. Across his past 15 games, he is averaging 13.2 points and 6.9 rebounds. He is shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 42 percent from three."
The three-point numbers are the most jarring. Late last month, Sarr said he hadn't changed his form. Asked after Monday's game about the shooting surge, Keefe credited the rookie's work ethic but remained quiet on specifics."
Keefe: "You're not going to get that answer from me." Sarr has taken more corner three-pointers in this recent stretch, but the quality of his shots hasn't changed, indicating a possible consistency in his shooting approach.
