Are these comparisons supposed to be a good thing? He's at the bottom of all of those stats.

FWIW, Sarr is 9 months younger than Mobley in his rookie season, and 7 months younger than JJJ in his. It's arguably more accurate to compare his production NEXT season to the production of those guys in their respective rookie years.

Sarr is looking noticeably better recently. He has a lot of different tools - great athlete, shotblocker, coordinated, can lead transition and is looking better recently in the shooting department. Still very young and beginning to see more minutes now. He should be the favorite for ROY with McCain out and the rest of the class struggling for playing time.

He's going to have a good career. Rookie seasons are always kind of up and down especially as a F/C as a incredibly pivotal role on the court. Sarr's shown me [in not many Wiz games I've watched] that he has the potential to play defense effectively, and he's willing as a shooter, he has a better feel defensively than other veterans in the league, and he's in year 1.

Give him time.

He can play.

Would gladly trade Scoot for him.

Mods should change the title to "Sarr. I'm concerned" :lol:

Lol, the fact that he is only the third to get those stats tells more about the Wizards than about Sarr

3 blocks and 3 3PM is quite a rare combo. Once you add the 5 assist and other stuff…

It is surprising because Westbrook had that triple double season for us

Im more surprised Gilbert had 3 blocks

3PM probably hard for Westbrook. Not sure how often he does 3 blocks though.

Not sure if you got Jaren and Mobley confused because Jaren was younger than both when he came into the league. He was drafted at age 18, he reclassified up a class.

My bad. I did the math wrong. Jaren was 19 years old his entire rookie season and turned 20 in September, 4 months after his rookie season ended. Sarr is 19 for his entire rookie season and will turn 20 in April, just after the regular season ends.

So Sarr is 9 months younger than Mobley, but 5 months older than JJJ.

I haven't seen him play much, but going off his recent stats, could he end up being rookie of the year?

Russ averaged 2.5 3PM in his MVP season so it was happening pretty much every other game that year.

Anyway, the stat tells me the Wiz have struggled to acquire prolific wings or bigs that can put up that combination of stats more often. And there actually might be some teams who don't have guys with those stat lines either. The Mavs might not have anyone, who pulled it off in recent years, because Luka isn't much of a shot blocker. I even looked at some random prime D-Wade seasons and he didn't do it in said seasons either due to not rebounding enough and not having enough 3pt volume, though I'm sure there's a playoff game where he did. Obviously, Miami as a franchise had guys like Butler and LBJ get those stats.

So, yea, it's actually not an easy feat cause of the combination of stats, although they look super basic at first glance. Props to Sarr, Wall and Arenas.

I think I heard an interview in PreSeason with Sarr and he said he was ready to come into the league and shoot 40% from three or something that seemed pretty ridiculous to me. And he's actually hit 43% at 5 attempts a game over his last 10 games. He is willing.

Wizards are a shytshow, but there is a glimmer of hope with him and Coulibaly.
