In an end of the season without real stakes for the Wizards, Alex Sarr manages very beautifully to register his name in the tablets of the NBA. He could thus very soon follow in the footsteps of a certain Victor Wembanyama in the history of the League.
With currently 17 victories for 60 defeats, they should a priori keep one of the three worst balance sheets in the league at the end of the regular season. This is also the mission that the Wizards have undoubtedly set secretly, whose reconstruction process remains at an early stage and which would not spit on a new choice of high -placed draft. This, a year after the arrival of Alex Sarr in their workforce.
Selected as 2nd Pick by Washington, the young French interior logically found himself under pressure during his first NBA matches. Pressure that may have been right for his talent during his first months in the United States, before he freed himself from the second part of the season. He indeed chains the great performances in recent weeks and allows himself to the passage to write the story.
Alex Sarr in the same spheres as Victor Wembanyama?
Failing to claim participation in the Postseason, Sarr tries to treat its statistics at the end of the regular season. On Wednesday, he included three 3 -point shots in his team's victory against the Kings and thus established a record of precocity in the NBA. X account Point Made Basketball took the opportunity to report that he could in stride reproduce the feat of a certain Victor Wembanyama:
Alex Sarr became the youngest pivot to reach 100 shots with a career in NBA career. From now on, it is also only 5 verses to join Chet & Wemby as only players to compile 100 shots at 3 points and 100 counters in their rookie season.
With 95 counters so far, Sarr can reasonably target this symbolic bar.
This would therefore allow him to imitate Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren and to become one of the only three rookies in history to illustrate in this way in the block and long distance shots. A most commendable goal, even if it seems impossible for him to reach the same figures as his compatriot during the five games he has to play with the Wiz '.
As a reminder, Victor had completed his first season with the Spurs with 128 3 -point shots registered … as well as 254 against. There is also a safe bet that this combination will never be reproduced by such a young player in the future again. Even a talent such that Holmgren had been very far away, he who had finished last season with 129 3 -point shots and 190 against.
After having crossed the threshold of 100 shots at 3 points registered, will Alex Sarr also manage to exceed that of the 100 against and comply with Victor Wembanyama? His average of 1.5 unit per game this season suggests it anyway.
