Washington Wizards two-way guard Jared Butler has been extremely impressed with how quickly rookie Bub Carrington processes the game of basketball.
(via Washington Wizards):
Reporter: “From one point guard to another, in a general sense, what have you seen in Bub thus far this season? And how does he stack up to other rookies that you might have played with at the guard position with where he’s at?”
Butler: “I think Bub is very intellectually sound. I think he can catch onto things very fast, almost too fast, and I enjoy seeing that out of him. I haven’t really paid attention to a lot of other guards, but that’s what I see out of Bub.”
Reporter: “When you say he catches onto things fast, any specific examples where you’re like, ‘Wow, that was quick.’?”
Butler: “He’ll challenge or kinda discuss play calls or coverages. He understands it, and that’s a lot to do as a rookie. So, I think that’s phenomenal.”
