Just looking at Carrington's stats he looks like a good player. Freshman into NBA, which usually means talented. Most of our opponents have been going big with PGS, and the little guys we have kinda get posted up. WC has huge guys. All told if there's two guys matching your description and we have a choice, I am taking the bigger guy.
I think you're being unduly influenced by the 3 guard lineup we often run. We need a small forward that has decent size - running Booker and Beal and Allen together puts us in a bind because none of them are quick enough to guard the quicker point guards (Beal comes closest) and none of them are big enough or strong enough to defend the larger 3's. Sure, Haliburton is elite with great size but usually "tall" for a PG means he's too slow to transition from college starter to pro starter.
Kyrie, SGA, Brunson, Steph, Trae, Fox, Maxey, Lillard, Sexton, White, Jamal Murray and many other PG's are Devin's size or shorter. It would be nice if we could find a point guard that meets my criteria and has good positional length/height but IMO it shouldn't be the primary attribute on our wish list. Tall, effective PGs such as Haliburton and Cunningham are few and far between IMO.
