"The harsh reality is that since the departure of John Wall, the Wizards haven't been able to find an answer at point guard over the course of the last few years. Between names like Russell Westbrook, Tyus Jones and even Jordan Poole, Washington has taken countless swings just to come up empty handed. Now, with the struggles of sophomore Bub Carrington suggesting that the Wizards may still not have an answer for their biggest issue, it only adds to the buzz that Washington could be gearing up towards a big move ahead of the trade deadline in February."
"Coby White has been rumored to be a name on the trade market that not only several teams are interested in, but that the Chicago Bulls are willing to part ways with. The North Carolina product is only 25-years-old and he's in the midst of a career-year, averaging 21.2 points, 5.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds, while shooting 44.2% from field goal range and 29.8% from beyond the arc. White has proven to be a dynamic playmaker and with his offensive upside, he could be the perfect player to slot into the Wizards starting point guard position."
Washington continues to search for a consistent point guard since John Wall's departure, having tried multiple veterans and younger options without success. Bub Carrington's struggles suggest the current roster still lacks a true answer at the position. High-profile names like Darius Garland, LaMelo Ball and Domantas Sabonis have been linked to the franchise, but those moves appear unlikely. Coby White emerges as a practical trade candidate given Chicago's reported openness to deals and his strong season averages. White's scoring, playmaking and offensive upside could address the Wizards' primary backcourt deficiency.
