Devin Carter Scouting Report For The 2024 NBA Draft.
It’s time to look at the 2024 NBA Draft through the prism of the Phoenix Suns, starting with a guard who could serve as a rotation stabilizer both on and off the ball. Meet Devin Carter, a Providence guard.
Vitals:
6’3″, 195 pounds, ~6’7 wingspan, 22 years, 3 months, and 8 days on draft day (more accurate measurements will be collected during the combine, which he was invited to).
Background
Taking it all the way back to high school, Carter’s senior season at Doral Academy in Florida was cut short due to a shoulder injury, so he spent a postgraduate season at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire before starting his collegiate career.
Carter concluded his season at Brewster ranked No. 87 in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports. He chose South Carolina over offers from Georgia Tech, Florida Atlantic, and Richmond.
Carter played solid reserve minutes as a freshman at Columbia (18.7 minutes per game over 30 games, seven starts), but he chose to transfer to Providence and pledge to head coach Ed Cooley.
He flashed in a bigger role as a sophomore for Providence (32 minutes per game in 33 starts), but he didn’t quite look like an NBA-ready player yet. And after the season (21-12), Cooley would leave to become the head coach at Georgetown (9-13).
Kim English replaced Cooley and would play a big part in Carter taking a big step forward as a junior, empowering the guard as a shooter and creator. When Bryce Hopkins — who nearly led the Friars in usage the season prior — went down for the season with an injury, Carter’s leap was brought to the forefront.
