Bub Carrington's breakout stretch is silencing early doubts in Washington

"Carrington entered the season poised to prove he could be the team's answer at the point guard position for years to come after an impressive rookie season with the Wizards. Following the departure of Jordan Poole in the offseason and the front office's lack of motivation to briing in additional point guard helped, it seemed like the Wizards brass was all in on the hope that the former lottery pick could be the team's long-term solution after all."

"However, after a bizarre start to the season, averaging 6.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists, while shooting 33.6% from field goal range, all hope seemed to be lost. Fortunately, Carrington has seemed to finally turn things around and instill confidence in a fanbase that began to grow concerned. Bub Carrington looks like a completely different player In the last six games, Carrington has completely turned the outlook of his season around in a major way."

"Not only has the Pittsburgh product shot his way out of a shooting slump that totally restricted his start to the season, but the playmaker has slowly but surely seemed to grow his confidence over the recent stretch. Averaging 17 points, 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds, while shooting 49.3% from field goal range, Carrington looks like a completely different player. In fact, the guard's turnaround has him looking like the player the Wizards drafted him to be."

Carrington struggled initially, averaging 6.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 33.6% from the field. Over the last six games, Carrington has improved dramatically, averaging 17 points, 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 49.3%, though further development remains necessary.
