Providence Friars guard Devin Carter's dad, Anthony Carter, is a former basketball player himself. Anthony was a proper journeyman in the NBA, playing for the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors.

He played for 13 years in the NBA, mostly as a rotational player and not someone who particularly stood out as a potential star. Throughout his career, he only averaged 4.8 points per game. His best season came in 2007-08 while at Denver when he recorded a career-high 7.8 ppg. He also averaged 2.9 rpg, and 5.5 apg, also career highs.

Where did Devin Carter's dad play college basketball?

Devin Carter's father started his collegiate career at Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo, California. He made the transition to a Div. I school in 1996 when he joined Hawaii. There, he became the Rainbows' career leader in assists and one of 10 players to reach 1,000 points.

In 1997 he was a First Selection All-WAC selection and earned the WAC Player of the Year Award. A similar series of accolades to his son's First Team All-Big East and Big East Player of the Year wins in 2024.

Where could Devin Carter end up in the 2024 NBA draft?

Carter is expected to be among the top 20 selections in the 2024 NBA draft, which could leave him with the LA Lakers, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets or another franchise.

The Miami Heat arguably makes a lot of sense for Devin Carter, as he would bring more stability to a group of guards more offensively minded right now. Carter could bring a more balanced two-way ability to this key group of players.

Miami's No. 15 pick is where Carter might end up, but he could fall during the draft. Mock drafts and projections of late see Devin Carter as a first-round pick.

Carter averaged 19.7 ppg, 8.7 rpg and 3.6 apg for the Providence Friars last season, all career highs so far. The 2024 NBA draft takes place June 26 and 27 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
