It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Bub Carrington this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Washington Wizards Point Guard.
Should You Draft Bub Carrington in Fantasy Basketball?
Bub Carrington enters his second NBA season as one of the Wizards’ most promising young guards after an impressive rookie campaign. He played all 82 games, averaging 9.8 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.7 threes, with just 1.7 turnovers per game. He also set a franchise rookie record with 138 made threes, showcasing perimeter scoring potential. Defensive impact was limited, with only 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, leaving plenty of room for growth.
Carrington’s role will be shaped by the presence of veterans CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton, who could cap his usage early in the season. As the year progresses, especially if those vets are moved at the deadline, Carrington could see expanded responsibilities as both a scorer and facilitator. His size and offensive IQ give him the tools to evolve into the Wizards’ top perimeter threat.
Fantasy managers should temper early-season expectations due to the Wizards’ crowded backcourt, but Carrington remains a strong late-round flier in deeper formats. His passing, shooting volume, and durability provide a high floor, and any midseason jump in usage could push him into standard-league relevance.
