This is the best draft capsule of Carrington that I have seen. 47.7% on driving layups?!
One of the more interesting names teams will monitor during the predraft process, Carlton Carrington has divided scouts with his shotmaking, playmaking production and some athletic and statistical red flags. He finished the regular season averaging 1.9 threes, 5.2 boards and 4.2 assists, impressive production for a 6'5", 18-year-old point guard in the ACC. But he also shot 47.7 percent on layups, made just 23 half-court field goals at the rim and recorded 17 steals in 31 games. Scouts are drawn to his positional size, pull-up game and live-dribble passing, but they're torn by his lack of rim pressure, heavy reliance on jumpers and scary defensive playmaking rate.
That analysis is spot-on. Bub lacks NBA athleticism, which is why he cant get to the bucket and attack the rim. But he has the size, handle, age, and jump-shooting going for him. I'd love him to come back but think he has more to lose than to gain. He isnt going to get more athletic. If he comes back and still cant get to the bucket and is a year older, his stock drops. What he could be is what he has going for him.
