Wizards' Carlton Carrington: Flops in bench role
Carlton Carrington closed with two points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 22 minutes during Friday's 108-96 loss to the Celtics.Carrington came off the bench with Malcolm Brogdon retaining his spot in the starting lineup. While Carrington will almost certainly be better than this, a limited role off the bench is going to limit what he can do on a nightly basis. He makes sense as a starter when considering the Washington Wizards' long-term future but as of now, perhaps the coaching staff is opting to run with a proven veteran. Given the uncertainty, this is a situation to monitor moving forward.
