• Wizards' Alex Sarr: Best scoring output of season

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Sarr amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and four steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 129-117 loss to the Hawks. Sarr posted his best scoring performance of the season Friday and added to his stellar night by showcasing his prowess on the defensive end. The rookie struggled mightily to find the bottom of the net through his first five appearances of November, hitting 35.3 percent of his field-goal attempts, but he's turned a corner of late, drilling 13 of 27 shots in his last two games.

• Wizards' Alex Sarr: Woeful shooting Monday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Sarr supplied five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 28 minutes during Monday's 107-92 loss to the Rockets. Sarr continues to make an impact as a defender and rebounder for the Wizards, but at the same time, his scoring woes can't be overlooked. The rookie is averaging 9.2 points per game while shooting an abysmal 33 percent from the field. Fantasy managers will probably continue to trust him given his youth and the growing pains of a rookie year, but his first nine games in the NBA confirm what the scouts acknowledged in the pre-draft process that his offensive game was way behind his defensive contributions.

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Sarr ended with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 121-94 loss to the Magic. Sarr continues to produce solid counting stats for the Wizards, averaging 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers through eight games. His offense is still a major work in progress, however, as he's shooting 34.2 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc so far.

• Wizards' Alex Sarr: Shooting woes continue Monday

  23D 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.

  Sarr recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 loss to the Cavaliers. After going 0-for-5 from deep in his regular-season debut, Sarr made his first career three-pointers in Saturday's blowout loss. 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.
