But December brought a significant uptick in play — and a sense of the 19-year-old Sarr’s two-way potential. After 30 video games, coming into Wednesday, Sarr now ranks second amongst rookies in scoring at 11.6 factors per sport, behind the Philadelphia 76ers’ Jared McCain (15.3). He’s tied with Portland’s Donovan Clingan for third in rookie rebounding at 6.1 per sport, behind the New Orleans Pelicans’ Yves Missi (8.5) and the Memphis Grizzlies’ Zach Edey (8.0). Sarr is tenth amongst rookies in participant effectivity score at 12.75, forward of the Atlanta Hawks’ Zaccharie Risacher, taken first general (9.58), the Houston Rockets’ Reed Sheppard, drafted third (7.32) and the San Antonio Spurs’ Stephon Fort, chosen fourth (10.33). And Sarr doesn’t simply lead rookies in blocked pictures per sport (1.8) — he’s seventh within the league, interval. -via New York Times / January 2, 2025
