All of these moves made moments before the Washington Wizards choose Power Forward Alex Sarr from France. He has been playing basketball professionally since the age of 14 playing in Spain then in Australia averaging 10 points per game. This 7 foot defensive minded player is what the Wizards need moving forward. Alex shared in a post-draft interview that he watches the Wizards games a lot and he’s excited to be a part of this team!
