If you emerged from Alex Sarr’s rookie season with a vague (or even specific) sense of disappointment, I’m not going to say you’re wrong.
He was a mess at times. His offensive efficiency was 16.5 points per 100 possessions below average. He didn’t excel on the boards. Just 17% of the seven-footer’s field goal attempts were from within the restricted area. An epically bad team was worse when he was on the floor. His Player Production Average (PPA — my all-around rating system) was a below-average 77.
What I will suggest is to consider one key piece of information that’s super important when considering the context of his performance: he was just 19 years old.
