Izzo remains confident that Carr’s elite athleticism, defense, and work ethic will translate to offense, and the team will need consistent scoring from him to reach its ceiling.

Coen Carr, known for jaw-dropping athleticism and dunking, has hit a rough patch offensively in January after a strong December that saw him average around 14 points per game.

Izzo stresses accountability and resilience, promising adjustments to how Carr is used against defenses and vowing not to give up on him.

Head coach gives credit to Carr for his defensive impact, noting he helped Washington shoot only 16% from three and forced 12 turnovers in the win.

Carr has averaged eight points in January, with four single-digit games in his last five, including six on 2-for-4 shooting in the win over Washington.
