Wizards' Alex Sarr is quickly silencing all of his doubters

""I hated his rookie season, to be honest," Vecenie said. "I did not think he was particularly good outside of some passing flashes""

""The bigger thing with Sarr is he's playing much more aggressively...on the offensive end, he is so much more aggressive and willing to use his physicality to get to the rim, it's like watching a completely different player.""

"Sarr is averaging 18.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists on the season, while shooting 52.7% from field goal range and 34.5% from beyond the arc."

Alex Sarr entered his sophomore season determined to prove his potential after an inconsistent rookie year that prompted widespread doubt. Early struggles included inefficient scoring and weaknesses in areas typically expected of his position despite being the No. 2 overall pick. The sophomore start has featured more aggressive offense, increased use of physicality to attack the rim, and continued passing flashes. Current averages of 18.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists with 52.7% shooting and 34.5% from three reflect significant efficiency gains. Defensive questions remain, but improved versatility and production position him as a long-term building block for the Wizards.
