Carlton Carrington has an interesting shooting profile, including a deadly midrange pull-up jumper.
Carlton Carrington, also known as Bub Carrington, saw his stock rise throughout the 2024 NBA draft cycle thanks to two parts of his game: his passing and his shooting. He's one of the better passers in the draft — he finished with a 24.0% assist percentage and a 2.1 assist-to-turnover rate, both indicative of a great decision-maker with the ball in his hands.
The first piece of evidence is his combination of touch and volume at age. He has obvious elite touch with his midrange pullup excellence and solid floater game and shot the ball at a high rate; 11.0 three-point attempts per 100 possessions. Touch and volume are both historically positive shooting indicators, and having the combination of both at 18-years-old bodes well for his shooting projection.
This could be a product of variance, which could go two ways. Carrington took only 75 catch-and-shoot threes overall, with 37 being guarded and 38 being unguarded. With a relatively small sample, he could be just as good shooting unguarded catch-and-shoot jumpers as he is shooting guarded. Or, the guarded numbers were a fluke, and with a larger sample, the percentage goes down and is closer to the unguarded percentage.
