The Future Of The Wizards
Alex Sar is in the midst of a ridiculous year 2 leap. Because as a rookie, his offensive game was all about figuring out what works and what doesn’t. While everything good came in short stints, he was one of the league’s highest volume shooting bigs, but near the bottom in three-point percentage. And he didn’t really know how to use his body to impose himself as a two-point scorer. So, his production was a direct result of whether or not the shot was falling. This year, he’s gotten a decent bit stronger, has looked significantly more aggressive and assertive with his play around the basket, all while settling for less outside shots. As a result, his scoring numbers are way up across the board to the point where he’s legitimately looking like an efficient 20point per game threat for a team that still lacks creation. Along with the fact that he’s already a good connective passer who can legitimately initiate offense, the seeds of an ideal modern-day offensive five are there. Still though, the selling point with Sar is his defense. Between his length, fluidity, instincts as a shot blocker, and improved positioning, he can pretty much do it all as a versatile defensive anchor. The overall product is a 20-year-old who’s oozing all-star potential.
The 2nd overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, Alex Sarr, is starting to break out, but is his play for the Washington Wizards sustainable? What’s his ceiling?
