Undersized 2 guard, but insane athlete, great wingspan, absurd motor. Terrific defender. Wild how many rebounds he grabbed for a dude his size. Good pull-up shooter, though I’m maybe a bit skeptical on the 3— hit a ton of them last year, but you have to wonder if it’s a one-season sample, since he wasn’t a very good shooter before that.
But yeah, he's got PG size, which hurts— not really an NBA ballhandler, imo, and while his passing is fine, he’s not really a primary at this point. Again, if the handle/creation comes along and he could play point, I’d feel a *lot* better about him.
As of right now, feels like a bench burner who could start in the right system and make winning plays. That said, I also like betting on high-motor athletes like Carter to keep improving, so if he hit those improvements and became one of the better guys in the class, I wouldn’t be blown away.
