Alex Sarr posted 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 2 threes on 7-of-11 shooting in 26 minutes as a starter Wednesday, October 28, when Washington fell 121-111 to Cleveland.

The line represents ordinary production for Sarr, who averaged 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 threes in 27.2 minutes a game last season. His 14.1 per cent usage rate at 59.3 per cent true shooting suggests a limited offensive role, though the steals and blocks offer category help in nine-category leagues. His projected 31.5 fantasy points a game in default points scoring ranks him 68th overall.

Alex Sarr

Sarr's four steals were the standout element on a night when his scoring and efficiency matched his usual standards but his rebounding and assists fell short of the 7.4 boards and 2.7 helpers he averaged last season over 48 games. He has started all five contests this season and is averaging 10.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.7 minutes a game, though those numbers include this outing.

Washington has one game left this week, on Wednesday. The centre's archetype as a low-usage connector limits his ceiling in points leagues, where his projected 31.5 fantasy points a game reflects contributions across multiple categories rather than dominant scoring. His 59.3 per cent true shooting keeps him efficient on low volume, and his ability to chip in steals and blocks gives him value in nine-category formats for managers seeking defensive stats.

What to do

• Hold Sarr in all formats for his defensive contributions and efficiency, even as his usage rate limits his scoring upside.

• Start him Wednesday when Washington plays its final game of the week.

• Value him as a category contributor in nine-category leagues rather than a primary scorer in points formats.
