"During his rookie season, Bub Carringston struggled with inefficiency at times. The Washington Wizards threw him into the fire a bit, and while it could be good for his long-term development, his jump-shooting woes were clear as day. So far this season, he's shooting much better, but he can't make a shot inside the paint. It's been a very odd trend to follow, as his offensive areas of preference have seemingly flipped, at least in terms of efficiency."
"Carrington has appeared in all five of the Wizards' games this season, though they are just 1-4 on the year. After starting 57 of the 82 games he played in during his rookie season, Carrington has been in four of the five starting lineups thus far. He is playing 28.2 minutes per contest and averaging 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists while shooting 32.4% from the floor and 42.6% from deep on 2.6 three-point attempts per game."
"One notable difference that could be helping with Carrington's improved three-point percentage (up from 33.9% last season) could be the fact that he's taking significantly fewer shots from that range. In fact, he's nearly cut his attempts in half. Last season, Carrington finished the year taking 5.0 threes per contest, and through the first few games of this year, that number is down to the aforementioned 2.6."
Bub Carrington's rookie season included periods of inefficiency and early heavy usage by the Washington Wizards, which revealed noticeable jump-shooting problems. This season he has improved his three-point accuracy to 42.6% while substantially reducing attempts from five to 2.6 per game. Carrington is averaging 28.2 minutes, 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. His overall field goal percentage sits at 32.4%. He has started four of five games. A glaring weakness is his inside scoring, evidenced by a 0-of-9 start from inside the restricted area. Time and adjustments will determine whether he regains interior effectiveness.
