The Washington Wizards should feel good about their No. 2 overall pick.
The Washington Wizards may have lost their preseason opener in a 125-98 defeat at the hands of the Toronto Raptors, but they can leave the Bell Centre in Montreal knowing that they saw some growth from No. 2 overall pick Alex Sarr.
Even though the Raptors opted to sit some of their starters, Toronto raced out to a double-digit lead early in the first quarter. That forced the Wizards to play from behind for most of the night, which was when Sarr made most of his impact. Sarr wasn't the only rookie who made his Wizards debut. No. 14 overall pick Bub Carrington scored seven points off the bench while No. 24 overall selection Kyshawn George put eight points on the board off the bench.
The Raptors had seven players score in double figures, including RJ Barrett, who dropped a game-high 17 in just 14 minutes.
