Wizards prioritizing Alex Sarr offensively is the key to unlocking potential

On Thursday night, former No. 2 overall pick Alex Sarr had his breakout game of the season, scoring 30 points and grabbing nine rebounds in a nail-biting 144-140 loss to the 8-3 Detroit Pistons. While this game goes down as a loss in the record books and drops the Washington Wizards to 4-9 on the season, losing six straight games, the play of the third-year big man is a small win and hopefully a sign of things to come the rest of the way.

When asked about how he can take a game like this and build on it for the rest of the season, Sarr said: “I think I’m always confident shooting the ball. We can build off a game like that just for the whole team, our effort, our energy.
