Bronny James has certainly fared better than what Alex Sarr put up today.

“Bronny better than the number 2 pick!” – No.2 pick Alex Sarr’s 0-point outing has fans comparing him with Bronny James

Alex Sarr and Bronny James

So far in the Summer League, Bronny James has come under a lot of criticism due to his inefficient scoring. The Los Angeles Lakers rookie has gone 0-14 from the three-point line and has not scored more than 8 points in any game so far. That performance from a No. 55 overall pick suggests he will need development. However, when the No. 2 overall pick Alex Sarr had a game not worth talking about, fans turned on him.

The Washington Wizards rookie has also not been having a Summer League worth highlighting. His inefficient scoring was deemed to be a matter of rust more than a lack of ability. However, in today’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, the 7-foot Frenchman scored 0 points. He went 0-7 from the three and 0-15 from the field. On top of that, he missed both of his free throws. His other stats were good from a Summer League perspective, but the sheer lack of scoring was appalling.

After all, he is the No. 2 overall pick. A player in whom the Wizards have invested with their lottery pick to lead them into a new era. The least he could do was score at least a few shots from the field and at least one of his free throws.

But his stat line looked woeful by any standards. For a player who grabbed 9 rebounds and swatted 3 shots, the least a fan of the game could expect was at least a few points. His lack of scoring ultimately denied the Washington Wizards a win.

Fans have been giving Bronny James a pass after this Alex Sarr performance

With this performance, fans of the game instantly gave Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James the pass. After all, he was in a disjointed college program that did not develop his skills. So, he needs a lot of development before he can contribute to his ability. On the other hand, fans could not comprehend a No. 2 overall pick to have such a night. It added to the notion that this year’s draft was probably the weakest in a long time.

They voiced their opinions on social media when news of this appalling performance reached the internet. Check out some of those comments below:

It might be just plain rustiness or a lack of focus. But even then, this was the Summer League of all places. The NBA is a lot harder to deal with for any player. There is a reason why many do not make it. Only time will tell if he does become a decent player in the league.
