Carrington started 33 games for Pitt as a rookie, averaging 13.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. The Baltimore, Maryland native shot 41% from the field and 32% from three-point range in his freshman campaign, and alongside Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett, starred for the Panthers in the back court.

Late last week, FanDuel released its odds on NBA Rookie of the Year, giving Carrington the 14th best chance to win the award. Check out the betting line here.

Just days before the draft last week, Carrington joined Pittsburgh Sports Now on The Pittsburgh Basketball Show. He talked about his time at Pitt, his relationships with his Pitt teammates and coaches, the NBA Draft process, and much more. He even answered a question about the Washington Wizards (prior to the draft). Check out his full appearance on The Pittsburgh Basketball Show here or click the link below.
