Wizards rookie Bub Carrington is close to home. He knows all that entails.
Briefly

"It makes life a little bit easier. You don't know how to turn the stove on, mom's close." Carrington reflects on the benefits of playing close to home.
"It's hard to say no. You got to get people tickets, people want to come over, people want to take time out [of] your day." Carrington acknowledges the challenges of being close to home.
Wizards GM Will Dawkins emphasized to Carrington that playing at home isn't for everyone, but Carrington responded confidently, wanting to take on this challenge.
Rudy Gay advised Carrington that the biggest challenge would be learning to say no to people wanting his time as a professional athlete.
