Strengths:
Carrington is an attacking southpaw guard who can put points on the board in spurts and is also a threat in all three ranges once he gets going. He's most effective going to the basket, where he combines a quick first step with naturally long strides going through the lane. He's productive around the rim with his spin move and the wiry/strong frame to absorb some contact. His ball skills have continued to improve throughout his career allowing him to be a valuable secondary ball-handler or even play some minutes at the point in a pinch. Defensively, he's capable of picking up full court and can also be a pest in the half-court as well.
Weaknesses:
He's a volume scorer who can hunt his individual offense and cause the ball to stick at times. He needs to learn to be more efficient, both in terms of his shot selection and overall decision making. He also tends to get caught in first gear and must instead learn to slow down and vary his speeds. While he has the tools to be an excellent defender, he doesn't always commit to that role and has a tendency to be much more concerned about scoring points.
Bottom Line:
He's talented with versatile tools but at his core he's a scoring guard, who lacks the temperament to run a team but is much more comfortable with the ball in his hands.
