Smaller story but may be of interest. Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 41 pts, 10 rebs and 7 asts in the 118-119 loss by the "Heat" subs to the "Wizards" subs.
Two Pitt guys started, and starred, for D.C. Bub Carrington banked in a ridiculous shot for the game winner...
... and had 15 pts, 7 rebs, and 9 asts. This is Bub's rookie year. He was selected by D.C. in the first draft round at number 14. AP:
With his start on Sunday, Carrington became the first Wizards rookie to appear in all 82 games in a season since Jeff Ruland (1981-82). Carrington, 19, also joined Luka Doncic as the only players in NBA history to record at least 300 assists and 100 3-pointers before turning 20 years old.Starting with Bub was Justin Champagnie, who went undrafted out of Pitt in 2021 and has bounced between Ontario State, Beans, D.C. and their G League affiliates. Justin had 27 points for the victorious "Wizards" today.
