University of Pittsburgh guard Bub Carrington gets drafted 14th overall in the NBA draft by the Washington Wizards.

The Portland Trail Blazers originally had the pick but they made a trade with the Wizards. Portland traded Malcolm Brogdon the #14 pick and a future 2029 pick for Deni Avdija.

Carrington will play for a Wizards team that finished the 2023 season 35-47. With the addition of Brogdon, Carrington will be coming off the bench for Washington.

The freshman guard averaged 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. He started all 33 games for Pitt.

Carrington announced that he was leaving Pitt early to enter the draft.
