Washington Wizards head coach Brian Keefe discussed the transition playmaking of rookie Alex Sarr after this past weekend’s 118-98 NBA Mexico City Game loss vs. the Miami Heat (17 points/6 rebounds/3 assists/4 blocks/7-11 FG/1-4 3-PT/2-2 FT).
*set career-highs in points, assists, field goals made, and field goal percentage/also tied his career-best for blocks and free throw percentage*
(via Washington Wizards):
“That’s definitely something we want him to do: we want him to rebound and push. We think he’s a really good playmaker. You saw some of that tonight, we’ve seen that in some prior games. We want him to keep exploring that, because we think he can be a real threat pushing the ball in transition.”
