Wizards lose to the Philadelphia 76ers 139-134. Alex Sarr had a big game with 31 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks. He went against the former MVP, Joel Embiid either no fear. One play, Sarr got blocked by Embiid but recovered to dunk the ball right over his opponent. Kyshawn George dropped 20 points, seven rebounds, nine rebounds. His growth as a playmaker has been most impressive for me. He threw a crazy lob to Cam Whitmore:Washington was up big after three quarters, but

Will Alex Sarr’s Shot Selection Stay Close to the Basket?Sarr has made an amazing effort on changing his game and being more assertive getting to the rim. With his shot diet changing, he can punish defenses utilizing his length and athleticism inside. I mentioned in a previous newsletter that Sarr has two-way star potential. If he continues his great play on defense and simplifies his offense, he can become the star he was drafted to become. How CJ McCollum plays with this young squad?CJ McCollum

The Wizards’ second preseason game resulted in a win over the Knicks, 120-103. A strong bounce-back game for the team, as they aim to build more chemistry ahead of the regular season.

He looks confident with the ball either in his hands or coming off screens. He finished with 10 points. Will Riley was great off the
