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.

He then declared for the NBA Draft weeks after the season concluded. Carrington shined at the NBA Combine before being picked 14th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft to the Washington Wizards.

Carrington finished NBA Summer League action with the following averages across his five games: 15.8 points per game, 7.4 rebounds per game, and 5.2 assists per game. He earned Second Team All-Summer League honors with his performance throughout the schedule in Vegas. Wednesday night’s appearance was his first at a TBT game this week, while Champagnie and Hinson have each been at all three games that Zoo Crew has hosted.

In his final game of the summer league stint, Carrington filled up the stat sheet. In a win over the Bucks, the Wizards clinched a 3-2 Summer League record and Carrington contributed 13 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists.
