Alex Sarr, a 7-foot-1 big man, showcased unique perimeter skills, finishing with finesse around the rim and making off-the-dribble shots for Perth. He is a top candidate for the 2024 No. 1 pick.

However, Sengun missed an opportunity, and the lead for his team was reduced to 16 points against the Nuggets.
