Carter kept his career momentum strong after enrolling at Duke University. In his only season with the Duke Blue Devils, Carter was averaging 13.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, two assists, and 2.1 blocks per contest on an excellent 56% shooting.

That impressive freshman season with Duke helped Carter in being picked 7th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft.
