Alex Sarr had high expectations when the Washington Wizards drafted him at No. 2 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft.

The French product's career didn't start how fans would have hoped and it certainly didn't start how the big man dreamed either.

From offensive struggles in Summer League to an inefficient rookie season, Sarr's role with the Wizards moving forward was a bit unknown.

Defensively, the lengthy forward had enough flashes that the Wizards felt like they could rely on him to be there defensive anchor in the front court.

However, offensively, his inability to thrive in areas that a typical 7-footer would put the Wizards in a bit of an odd spot on that side of the court.
