Yesterday, the Washington Wizards held Media Day at CareFirst Arena which is adjacaent to the joint Monumnetal Basketball Practice Facility. A lot of the Wizards’ younger players are coming into camp bigger than ever. Literally.
As one of the youngest teams in the NBA, this shouldn’t be surprising. With a young roster, players haven’t filled in their frames yet. Some players, most notably Alex Sarr, have shown promise as a shot alterer in 2024-25. Since he has put on 20 pounds since last season, perhaps that will help him build a more physical presence as well.
