Selected with the second choice of the Draft 2024,<\/strong><\/strong> Alex Sarr showed great things for his first season in the League. Marcus Smart, his teammate from the Deadline, observed it well, and he observed some shortcomings. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After 66 games played, Alex Sarr's rookie season is officially over. Arrived in a franchise in full reconstruction, the French pivot had no pressure on the shoulders, he had to show great promises. If all has not been perfect, wizards fans are generally satisfied with its contribution, especially defensive.<\/p>\n

With 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 average stocks, the Frenchman pulled out of the game in a collective that had a lot of young people to develop, and in particular Bilal Coulibaly. If he is not in the race for the title of Rookie of the year, which is disappointing for a Draft No. 2, he will clearly become an important player in the League. <\/p>\n

Marcus Smart Honest on the gaps of Alex Sarr<\/h2>\n

He can also count on the help of certain teammates to reach the very high level. Passed by Celtics for many years, Marcus Smart knows the recipe for success. During his end -of -season press conference, the rear explained to work with Alex Sarr to allow him to take a course. The problem would be especially psychological:<\/p>\n

Gilbert Arenas' cash opinion on Victor Wembanyama: “He must train with this legend”<\/p><\/div>\n

I spoke with Alex several times, he knows what I think of him. To become more physical on the ground, it starts with the mind. We are already working on it. When he will accept who he is, when he understands that he is immense and he has good athletic qualities, when he will really put his mind on it, he will become a great defender. I work so that it is regular on this side of the field.<\/p>\n

When he is concentrated and thoroughly, he is already a very good defender. He is still young, but he is asked a lot on both sides of the field. It is difficult, especially on a position as physical as hers. He is not yet physical enough, he must really work on it. But at the same time, he must understand what he does well and use it to his advantage. <\/p>\n

Having talent is a good thing in the NBA. Having a dedicated veteran that helps advance young people is even better. Alex Sarr has both, since Marcus Smart wants to make him become a great defender and why not a successor to the title of Dpoy. To do this, French will have to harden mentally and find real constancy.<\/p>\n

To become more solid in the racket, Alex Sarr will already have to become more solid in the head. As a pivot, he will have to hurt himself, accept contacts and kick to be respected. Marcus Smart will be there to help him.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
