"Not only do the Wizards find themselves at the bottom of the NBA standings, but they've been forced to watch bizarre starts for several players who entered the season with high hopes, including multiple young prospects who seemed destined to make a leap in the DMV. Despite that, the sophomore leaps of Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr have given the team and their fanbase reason to believe they were headed in the right direction."
"Sarr specifically, has emerged as one of the biggest rising stars in the league, averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists, while shooting 51.5% from field goal range and 34.6% from beyond the arc. The French product's breakout season turned plenty of heads and his ranking inside of ESPN's most recent Top 25 Under 25 Rankings only prove that."
Wizards occupy the bottom of the NBA standings after a rough start, and several expected breakout players have produced bizarre performances. The sophomore leaps of Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr provided the franchise and fanbase renewed optimism. Sarr averages 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 51.5% overall and 34.6% from three. ESPN placed Sarr at No. 22 in its Top 25 Under 25 rankings and highlighted his rim protection and floor-spacing potential. Deni Avdija's improvement since joining Portland and his No. 15 ranking have intensified regret over Washington's 2024 trade.
