Will Devin Carter get drafted? 3 potential landing spots for Providence star
The 2024 NBA draft is on Wednesday, where there will be a lot of intriguing players, including Devin Carter, looking to begin their professional basketball careers. One interesting player is Providence Friars guard Carter, who had a significant improvement last year in his third college basketball season, second with Providence.
He played 35.3 minutes and averaged 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks, having a 47.3/37.7/74.9 shooting splits in the 2023-24 season. Let's take a look at some of his potential landing spots heading into the NBA draft.
Devin Carter NBA Landing Spots
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz seemingly are a few pieces away from being a legitimate contender in the Western Conference, as seen in the last few years.
They have a vision of the future with Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, Keyonte George and Walker Kessler under contract for multiple years, so getting Devin Carter would be another young piece to plug into the roster.
Carter showcased his ability to knock down shots and take control on the defensive end as well. He could be a massive plus for the Jazz and getting Carter into a spot without too much pressure. With the 10th pick in the draft, the Jazz could be where he winds up.
Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have the 11th selection and could be a candidate to land Devin Carter, as they need to get younger. They already traded away Alex Caruso in exchange for Josh Giddey, but it's difficult to expect much out of Lonzo Ball, so they need to get younger.
This team is veteran-laded with DeMar DeRozan as well, so getting an infusion of young talent who can shoot well like Devin Carter would be a massive plus.
Sacramento Kings
The 12th pick in the NBA draft belongs to the Sacramento Kings, and they could really be in the business of improving the guard play after a sense of direction being established.
The team re-signed coach Mike Brown, while Malik Monk has a new contract in place, but they need to get better. Getting the 2023-24 Big East Player of the Year would help the team grow, as he could be a bench piece to begin his career, relieving De'Aaron Fox.
