Struggling Wizards Rookie Alex Sarr Has Rough Summer League Debut
Washington Wizards’ second overall draft pick Alex Sarr had a disappointing debut in the Summer League, going 0-for-15 from the field against the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite a decent overall stat line, Sarr’s shooting struggles were evident throughout the game.
Sarr missed shots from various parts of the court, including under the basket, in the paint, and beyond the arc. His performance, especially against Blazers center Donovan Clingan, highlighted the challenges he faces as a rookie in the league.
While one bad game does not define a player’s career, Sarr’s performance raised concerns about his ability to compete at the NBA level. Scouts have always highlighted his defensive skills, but his offensive game needs significant improvement.
It remains to be seen how Sarr will bounce back from this rough start, as Summer League games often provide valuable learning opportunities for young players.
