Alexandre Sarr has been making waves around the basketball world, but certainly not in the way he had hoped. The French center, who has struggled with his shooting since the start of the Summer League, hit rock bottom on Tuesday.
Against the Blazers, the second pick of the last Draft finished the game without a single point, and with a catastrophic address: 0/15 shooting, including 0/7 on 3-pointers! He was thus not very aggressive, well hampered in sequences by Donovan Clingan, the rookie from Portland. And the Wizards ended up losing by two points, 82-80.
Alexandre Sarr didn't miss everything, finishing with nine rebounds, including five offensive ones, and three blocks. But in attack, the former Perth player suffered in rare proportions. According to ESPN, you have to go back to 2017 to find a trace of such a zero point in as many attempts in Summer League. In the history of the NBA, only Tim Hardaway has done worse in an “official match”, with a 0/17 on December 27, 1991 against Minnesota.
Even more than his mismanagement, Alexandre Sarr seemed to force himself to try to find his rhythm, his shot selection suffering greatly. The interior also abused floaters and shots three meters from the circle, disrupted by the dissuasion of Donovan Clingan, author of five blocks in the match.

In the wake of the number 2 in the Draft, all the Wizards were not on target with a pitiful 33.3% shooting. Another rookie drafted in the first round, Bub Carrington finished as the top scorer with 20 units, but at 6/19 shooting…
