Carrington is a creative ball handler that changes directions well but settles for low quality mid-range and three-point jumpers too often despite the ability to attack the paint.

Missi flashed willingness to attack from the high-post although that is an accessory to his game rather than a featured element. I like to see more pursuit of the ball on the offensive and defensive glass as his average rebounding rate should be higher given his size and athletic tools.
