Southeast Notes: Wizards’ Frontcourt, Bane, Conwell, Hawks Start
One of the big questions the Wizards came into the season with was how the big-man pairing of Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr would fare together. On paper, it seemed like a complementary set of skills, with Davis’ scoring and rebounding ability pairing with Sarr’s passing and shooting, and the impressive defensive instincts and tools both players possess providing a strong interior infrastructure.
Through 10 games, though, the pair has not worked the way optimists would’ve hoped, writes Greg Finberg of Wizards Central (Substack link). The Wizards are currently 4-6, and with both players on the floor, Washington has a 106.9 offensive rating and shoots 28.8% from three.
