Finberg noted that Carrington is one of just three players in NBA history with 250 assists and 100 three pointers before the age of 20. He is one of the three, along with Kobe Bryant and Luka Doncic. Not too bad, huh?

Carrington has played in 67 games as a rookie for the Washington Wizards, and is averaging 9.2 points, four rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. Carrington is shooting 39.9% from the field, and 34% from three.

The Wizards selected Carrington with the 14th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, trading with the Portland Trail Blazers to secure his talents, and he is getting a chance to play big minutes as a rookie.

It was a highly successful single season for Carrington in Pittsburgh, as he averaged 13.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, on 41/32/79 shooting splits, and emerged as one of the top true freshmen in college basketball.

Carrington scored in double digits 22 times last season, including four performances of 20 plus points, and he was the only freshman in college basketball who averaged 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. 15 freshmen hit that mark since 1992-93.
