2024 Fantasy Outlook
With a 9-foot-2 standing reach, plus great athleticism and ballhandling for his size, Sarr, out of Perth of the NBL, is an enticing prospect. It's easy to see why he went No. 2 overall in the draft. However, he struggled mightily in Summer League, averaging 5.5 points and 0.5 threes on 19/12/50 shooting, 7.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.3 turnovers in 29.6 minutes. I'm afraid you read that correctly; Sarr went 9-for-47 shooting as a 7-footer. At the same time, there are just not that many 7-footers that move with his fluidity and have a jumper that looks mechanically sound, and that's before considering his defensive upside. He has the height of a towering center but plays like a perimeter power forward. He wants to run in transition; he wants to take threes; he wants to take mid-range jumpers; he wants to work at the elbow. He often has his mind made up before entering the paint, and he doesn't make any effort to bully into the restricted area. On a positive note, Sarr has passing vision and was relatively active on the offensive glass. Defensively, there was plenty to like in Summer League. He can swat shots at the rim, and players on the wing appear uncomfortable when he's switched onto them. Fantasy-wise, his blocks and steals potential may carry him. Plus, the Wizards are expected to be bad again, which should afford the 19-year-old plenty of minutes and opportunities. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Sarr was born in Bordeaux, France to a family of basketball players. He started playing at four years old, developing well and securing a spot on Real Madrid's cadet youth team for two seasons starting in 2019. Shortly after, in 2021, he moved to the United States and joined the Overtime Elite for two seasons, playing the first with Team Overtime and second with YNG Dreamerz. In 2022-23, he earned second-team All-OTE honors. Gaining steam as a draft prospect, Sarr joined the Australian Basketball League for 2023-24 as a member of the Perth Wildcats, utilizing the NBL's Next Stars program. In 30 appearances, he averaged 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 18.0 minutes. Sarr stands 7-foot-1, with defense being his standout skill. He moves incredibly well for his size and can guard on the perimeter as well as protect the rim. That size and athleticism makes him an obvious pick-and-roll threat, and he's shown some potential as a ballhandler in transition and passer in the halfcourt. The hope is that he can evolve into more of a shooter, but he went a modest 16-of-58 (28%) from deep last year and 58-of-82 (71%) from the charity stripe. Sarr also has a thin frame, which may create some challenges going up against bulkier centers in the NBA. Sarr's full potential will be reached if he can develop a three-point shot and/or some playmaking potential in addition to his defense. As it stands, he draws comparisons to Evan Mobley. Sarr is too fluid to be compared to someone like Rudy Gobert and not a good enough shooter to be compared to Chet Holmgren. Primarily, he contains the upside to be one of the most impactful defenders in the NBA and should have no problem walking into double-doubles given his athleticism running the break and throwing down dunks.

Posts another double-double
FWashington Wizards
March 11, 2025
Sarr posted 16 points (5-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Sarr has been one of the most consistent rookies in the 2024-25 season, and the Frenchman has improved vastly compared to how he was playing in the early stages of the campaign. This was his second consecutive double-double, and he's notched that feat eight times already in 2024-25. He's averaging a solid line of 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and a combined 2.0 steals-plus-blocks per game in six outings since the beginning of the All-Star break.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Selected to Rising Stars Game
FWashington Wizards
January 29, 2025
The NBA announced Tuesday that Sarr was selected to the Rising Stars Game.
ANALYSIS
Sarr is currently sidelined by an ankle sprain, but the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft is considered day-to-day. The Wizards opted to not waste any time in terms of Sarr's development, as he's started in all 41 of his appearances over veteran Jonas Valanciunas. Sarr is still very raw offensively and is shooting 39.7 percent from the field, but he's been excellent on the defensive end with 1.6 blocks and 0.7 steals per game.
