"Bub Carrington may be one of the most overlooked players heading into next season for the Washington Wizards. The Pittsburgh product was drafted inside of the NBA Draft lottery by Washington in the 2024 NBA Draft after sending Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Malcolm Brogdon and the pick that eventually landed the young guard in D.C. Carrington's arrival was overlooked by the team's loaded rookie class that feautured both Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George,"
"Arguably the biggest weakness in the playmakers game was his ability to get downhill and attack the basket. As a guard, there's plenty of different play styles that can make every player dangerous out of the backcourt. Some guards are elite facilitators, others can score with the top players in the game, while others use their ability to get to the rim as a weapon to open up the game for not only themselves, but their teammates."
Bub Carrington was selected in the 2024 NBA Draft lottery by the Washington Wizards following a trade that moved Deni Avdija and brought Malcolm Brogdon and the draft pick to Washington. He entered the league overshadowed by a rookie class including Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George. Carrington showed flashes as a scorer but primarily operated as a pass-first facilitator. His main limitation was the ability to get downhill and attack the basket, which constrained his backcourt impact. Carrington recognized the issue and used the offseason to address it, increasing his weight from 193 pounds to around 204 pounds to add strength and finishing ability.
