The Washington Wizards made the decision to select big man Alex Sarr with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft. It was a move that the Wizards felt could change their outlook for the future.
Sarr has shown flashes of star potential throughout his rookie season to this point.
Steve Aschburner of NBA.com released a new "Kia Rookie Ladder" with just about two weeks left in the regular season. In that ladder, Sarr came in at No. 3 behind Stephon Castle of the San Antonio Spurs and Zaccharie Risacher of the Atlanta Hawks.
He has been able to come in and make an impact right off the bat as a 19-year-old rookie.

On Wednesday night in the Wizards' 119-114 win on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers, Sarr made some new NBA history.
As shared by StatMamba on X, Sarr now has the most games by a teenager in NBA history recording at least one 3-point shot made and one block.
During the game, Sarr put up a big performance. He scored 24 points on 10-for-17 shooting to go along with seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and a steal. He also connected on four of his seven 3-point attempts.
Throughout his rookie year heading into the win over the 76ers, Sarr had averaged 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 0.7 steals per game. He had shot 39.4% from the floor and 32.3% from 3-point distance.
Next up for Sarr and Washington will be a Thursday night game at home against the Indiana Pacers.
