Wizards rookie Alex Sarr joins exclusive company 

The milestone reflects Sarr’s versatility and adaptability in the modern NBA. At seven feet tall with the mobility of a wing, the French big man has showcased a dynamic skill set, offering rim protection, floor spacing and playmaking from the frontcourt. His ability to defend the paint while knocking down outside shots positions him as a key piece for a rebuilding Wizards team.

Sarr has shown steady improvement throughout the season, enduring expected growing pains but emerging stronger post-All-Star break. Since the break, he’s averaging 16.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. While his overall shooting numbers remain modest (.397/.311/.677), his 1.9 made threes per game highlight his potential as a modern, two-way big.

Among rookies since the break, Sarr’s 373 total points rank second, trailing only Rookie of the Year frontrunner Stephon Castle. His 43 three-pointers are fifth-most among rookies, including guards, while his 34 blocks rank fourth.

Earlier this season, Sarr also became the youngest player in NBA history to reach 60 made threes, 300 rebounds, 105 assists and 70 blocks in a rookie campaign. He began his career with six straight games of multiple blocks, a feat matched only by Shawn Bradley in 1993–94.

In a difficult season for the Wizards, Sarr’s emergence has been a rare bright spot — and a signal of hope for the franchise’s future.
