Carlton Carrington played one season at Pittsburgh, then opted to go pro. The potential first-round pick said he’s capable of playing three positions in the NBA, he told Cyro Asseo de Choch of HoopsHype.
“Someone asked me what position I play, and I said point guard,” he said. “But that’s not all I’m limited to. I feel like the biggest part of my game is my versatility. I can play one, two, and three sometimes, so it doesn’t really matter to me. As long as I can be on the court, I can contribute.”
Carrington averaged 13.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 33 games with the Panthers. He’s currently listed at No. 22 on ESPN’s Best Available list.
We have more draft-related news:
- After a solid showing in the combine, forward Jonathan Mogbo has decided to keep his name in the draft, ESPN’s Jonathan Givony tweets. Mogbo averaged 14.2 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game for San Francisco last season. He’s currently the No. 42 prospect on ESPN’s list.
Also, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein passes along some players removing their names from the draft ahead of Wednesday’s withdrawal deadline:
- Lamont Butler is transferring from San Diego State to Kentucky (Twitter link).
- Andrew Carr is also headed to Kentucky after transferring from Wake Forest (Twitter link).
- Cedric Coward, who averaged 15.4 points and 6.7 rebounds last season at Eastern Washington, is in the transfer portal (Twitter link).
- Kasean Pryor is transferring from South Florida to Louisville (Twitter link).
- Nimari Burnett will return to Michigan under new head coach Dusty May (Twitter link).
I like Mogbo and Carrington
