• Wizards' Alex Sarr: Shooting woes continue Monday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Sarr produced seven points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Hawks. As has been the trend during his first games at the NBA level, Sarr was impressive from a defensive perspective but struggled to get things going on offense. Even though three games aren't enough to draw valid conclusions, Sarr is averaging just 7.0 points per game while shooting 28.6 percent from the field, although he's also putting up 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 0.7 steals per contest. The potential is clearly there, and while it's a matter of whether he can put it together, the Wizards will give him every chance in the world to develop and soak up as many minutes as he can during a rebuilding season.

The rookie's shooting inconsistencies will be a storyline all season, but Sarr continues to make his mark defensively, totaling 11 boards, four blocks and a steal through two games.

• Wizards' Alex Sarr: Rough showing in NBA debut

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Sarr finished Thursday's 122-102 loss to the Celtics with two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes. Sarr had a woeful showing in his NBA debut, struggling to make an impact on offense and getting embarrassed a few times on defense, particularly when he was matched up against Jayson Tatum. Sarr should eventually adjust to the pace of the NBA, and his numbers should improve over time, with his next chance to do so coming in a home matchup against the Cavaliers on Saturday.
