Alex Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, made an immediate impact for the Washington Wizards, earning a spot on the All-Rookie First Team. Averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.5 blocks over 67 games, Sarr showcased his versatility and defensive presence. He became the first Wizards rookie since Bradley Beal to earn First Team honors. His season included a standout 20-12-6 line against the Indiana Pacers in early April, where he flashed the full package: rim protection, passing vision, and smooth shotmaking. Sarr’s ability to defend multiple positions, initiate offense in transition, and contribute without needing the ball made him an instant building block in D.C. He and fellow French rookie Zaccharie Risacher also made history as the first French duo to earn All-Rookie First Team honors in the same year—proof of a new wave rising across the league. · Oct 24, 2024
