Washington's first-round duo needs to play and develop a lot in year one.
The Washington Wizards took Frenchman Alex Sarr with the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft and 12 picks later, snagged freshman Bub Carrington out of Pittsburgh. Sarr and the DC native Carrington are both expected to log major minutes in year one and need to develop quickly in order to speed up the rebuild in the nation's capital.

But one thing that has stood out to us is his ability to see the game and read the game. He’s a good passer, so we want the ball in his hands to explore those opportunities for him to make plays for himself and others.""We’re going to play a little bit positionless to where a lot of people will handle and make decisions. We look at him as a guard who can make plays for himself and for others.
