"Instead of dwelling on his underwhelming rookie campaign, the 7-footer put in the work this offseason and since the beginning of the regular season, he's looked like a completely different player for the Wizards. Not only is Sarr playing with a newfound confidence, but it's clear that his unique skillset puts him in elite company compared to the rest of the young talent in the league,"
"As a rookie, Sarr averaged 13 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists, while shooting 39.4% from the field, Comparing his rookie season to this year, where he's averaging 18.1 points, 8,4 rebounds and 3.6 assists on 50.7% shooting from the floor, the improvement is hard to ignore. Despite the leaps he's shown throughout his sophomore year, Sarr has yet to be given the credit he deserves."
Alex Sarr faced heavy criticism after a difficult rookie season despite being the No. 2 overall pick. He struggled in expected areas but committed to offseason work and entered the new season with renewed confidence. Sarr now displays a unique, versatile two-way skillset and has produced clear statistical improvement, averaging 18.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists on 50.7% shooting compared with 13 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists on 39.4% as a rookie. The improved performance remains underrecognized, partly because he was not a No. 1 pick and the team is not winning.
