"The sophomore slump of Bub Carrington has been one of the most unfortunate developments for the Washington Wizards to start the season. Washington entered the year seeming confident in the possibility that Carrington was ready to take on the primary ball handing duties for the Wizards, a role that was held by Jordan Poole last season. Following the departure of Poole this offseason, the Pittsburgh product was destined to prove whether or not he could be the Wizards long-term solution at point guard."
"However, the guard's struggling start to the year indidcated that not only was the playmaker not ready to take on the responsibilities as the starting point guard, but that if anything, he had regressed since the end of his rookie season. And looking at his confusing shooting stats to start the year, it was hard to argue that the guard could turn things around."
Bub Carrington entered the season expected to assume primary ball-handling duties after Jordan Poole's departure. Early-season performance has shown regression compared with his rookie finish and a confusing shooting profile that includes a midrange efficiency drop alongside improved three-point accuracy. The statistical shift and overall struggles undermined confidence among the fanbase about his viability as a long-term starting point guard. Carrington acknowledged the increased responsibilities and described himself as a hard worker who feels naturally suited to the point guard role. He said he is adjusting to the position and intends to continue improving his game and comfort as the primary playmaker.
