Bub Carrington’s offseason progress points to breakout potential

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, who were also selected in the first round.

Sarr, as a No. 2 overall pick had most eyes on him and his progress during last season, especially considering most people considered him as the most likely candidate to emerge as a building block for the Wizards moving forward.
