"Alex Sarr had plenty of expectations placed on him after being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Following a disastrous Summer League debut as a rookie, expectations were immediately tempered. However, it seemed like that's exactly what the French product hoped for because when the regular season began, he began to show the flashes Washington hoped they could see from him early on."
"Despite that, there's plenty of areas that Sarr has to improve in if he wants to even get near proving the prediction to be true. Not only did Sarr struggle doing big man things with his horrid efficiency inside the paint, but he struggled being a reliable presence offensively as a whole. Defensively, there's plenty to be excited about in his game, but that's not enough for him to prove the projections to be true."
Alex Sarr entered the NBA as the No. 2 overall pick and carried high expectations. A poor Summer League debut tempered those expectations, but regular-season flashes showed his potential. An inconsistent rookie season has left questions about his role and ceiling. A recent projection still envisions Sarr becoming Washington's best player within three years, reflecting confidence in his upside. Significant offensive development is required, including improved interior efficiency and consistent scoring. Defensive ability appears promising, but without offensive growth the team would face larger issues despite his defensive upside.
