Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington show they could be the game-changers Washington needs
New York TimesLAS VEGAS — In this cutthroat league, you obviously need talent, but you also need more than that. This, perhaps, was an undercurrent to a fascinating answer by summer-league coach Cody Toppert when he was asked Friday morning what he wanted to see from rookie Alex Sarr in the 19-year-old’s Wizards debut Friday night. We want him to hunt action.” Seven hours later, inside UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center, the Wizards’ hope-craving fan base saw the team may have just drafted not one, but two youngsters with killer instincts: Sarr and guard Bub Carrington. “When you know that you’ve hooped for this, you’ve trained for this, it’s like butterflies kind of turn into confidence,” Carrington said. Sarr did it with his rim protection, with Toppert calling him “the anchor” of the Wizards’ defense.
