"However, another name that many believed could be poised for a huge jump this season is sophomore guard Bub Carrington, who showed flashes of promise throughout his rookie season in Washington. The Pittsburgh product is a raw talent, but his upside as a pass-first point guard added plenty optimism that he could develop into the primary ball handler Washington could lock in their rebuild for years to come."
"Carrington's struggles have been hard to overlook, especially considering he began the season as the team's starter in the backcourt alongside veteran guard CJ McCollum. The guard's early struggles quickly translated to head coach Brian Keefe pulling the plug on the starting experiment when Bilal Coulibaly returned from injury, which allowed for the Wizards to fill the vacant starting role and send Carrington to man the bench and lead the second unit."
Washington entered the season expecting multiple young prospects to emerge, including Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George, Tre Johnson, Will Riley and Cam Whitmore. Sophomore guard Bub Carrington arrived with optimism after flashes as a rookie and offseason work aimed at attacking the rim more often. Carrington began the season as the starting point guard alongside CJ McCollum but struggled early. Coach Brian Keefe replaced him in the starting lineup when Bilal Coulibaly returned and moved Carrington to the bench to lead the second unit. Carrington's per-game numbers have declined from his rookie year; shooting percentage has dropped to 31.1%, prompting concerns about his development.
