Providence guard Devin Carter listed as fit for Bulls in NBA Draft

The Chicago Bulls were listed as a good team fit for Providence guard Devin Carter.

As the Chicago Bulls plan for the offseason, there will be a few crucial points for them to focus on. Free agency won’t be nearly as important as the trade market, which may be the most vital area for the Bulls, but on top of it all, they’ll have to make good decisions in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Adding quality young talent to play alongside Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu is a must for the Bulls, who need to be planning for the future. There are a bunch of players who could be good fits next to their core, and the front office needs to hit.

Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report wrote a scouting report for Providence guard Devin Carter, listing the Bulls as a good team fit.

“Dangerous in both ball-screen and spot-up shooting situations,Carter can play on and off the ball,” Wasserman wrote. “He’s still more wired to score than play-make, and NBA coaches will likely hesitate to use him as a primary decision-maker. He’ll operate as a combo guard from the 2 spot.

“The big question is how much of his game will translate to the NBA given his late-blooming skills and physical/athletic limitations. If the scoring outbursts don’t carry over, he’ll play a versatility role similar to Brandin Podziemski’s with his shotmaking, secondary creation, outlier rebounding and defense.

“He could look more like Derrick White if he provides more of a reliable scoring punch and he emerges as a perimeter stopper.”

Adding a two-way talent like Carter would be great for the Bulls.

Projected first-round pick Devin Carter declares for 2024 NBA draft

Carter was named the Big East Player of the Year after averaging 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals with the Friars.

Projected first-round pick Devin Carter on Wednesday told Jonathan Givony of ESPN that he will forgo his remaining college eligibility and declare for the 2024 NBA draft.

Carter was named the Big East Player of the Year after averaging 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals on 47.3% shooting from the field in 33 games. He led the conference in scoring and finished 10th in the country in defensive rebounds (253).

The 6-foot-3 guard began his college career at South Carolina, averaging nine points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists as a freshman. He transferred to Providence and saw steady growth in his game while playing two seasons with the Friars.

Carter, the son of former 13-year NBA veteran Anthony Carter, began the year viewed as a potential second-round pick. However, he established himself as a mid-to-late first-round pick with a sensational year, given his ability as a defender.

The recently turned 22-year-old was considered one of the top defenders in the country. He was named to the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year watchlist in February, ranking 10th in the country in defensive win shares (2.7) and 14th in defensive box plus-minus (plus-4.9).

Carter expanded his offensive game this past season by improving his 3-point percentage from 29.9% to 37.7% on 6.8 attempts per game. He hit several big shots throughout the year and used his size to get into the paint and finish.

The 2024 NBA draft will occur June 26-27 in New York City.

Auburn is back in the hunt for four-star WR Devin Carter

Carter recently backed off his pledge to Florida State, and Auburn has the chance to capitalize.

Florida State‘s loss has the potential to be Auburn’s gain.

Four-star wide receiver [autotag]Devin Carter[/autotag] backed off his pledge to Florida State in January. Auburn is among the programs that have the chance to capitalize on the opportunity.

Carter, a native of Augusta, Georgia, recently broke down his top schools with On3’s Chad Simmons. Carter says that he is still considering Florida State as his college destination, but is also taking a look at several SEC programs including Auburn. His relationship with wide receivers coach [autotag]Marcus Davis[/autotag] is one of several reasons Carter is considering Auburn.

“I was at Auburn for the Iron Bowl and it is about relationships with them. Coach Marcus Davis is a great coach and I have a great relationship with him. He is a cool coach, I see Auburn coming up as a program and I like the way (head) coach (Hugh) Freeze and coach Davis are working there.”

Carter is also considering Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Clemson. He has scheduled a visit to Clemson but is working on setting up more. Carter is the No. 4 wide receiver for the 2026 cycle and is the No. 5 overall recruit from Georgia.

NBA mock draft has Sixers selecting Devin Carter with No. 22 overall pick

An NBA mock draft has the Philadelphia 76ers selecting Providence guard Devin Carter with the No. 22 overall pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers have a much bigger focus at the moment: contending for the Larry O’Brien trophy in the 2023-24 season. However, it doesn’t hurt to look ahead to the offseason and see what the Sixers could add to the roster.

Philadelphia will be armed with substantial cap space. President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey has done a great job of keeping the Sixers in contention right now while setting them up for the offseason as well.

In a mock draft performed by The Athletic, the Sixers use the No. 22 pick to select Devin Carter out of Providence:

Carter is one of the best players in college basketball this season, point blank. The son of former NBA point guard Anthony Carter, Devin was terrific last year at Providence after transferring from South Carolina, but his leap this season has been different. Carter has always been a terrific defensive player, rightfully nominated as a semifinalist for National Defensive Player of the Year. He is aggressive at the point of attack and has elite off-ball defensive instincts. But where the real jump has come is on offense. Long a questionable shooter, Carter has hit 40.5 percent of his nearly seven 3-point attempts per game. Shooting something of a moon ball that arcs high in the air before falling, he’s hitting shots at volume at a level that is hard to ignore on his way to 19.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. The idea here is a 3-and-D guard who can do a little bit more than that.

On the season, Carter is averaging 19.2 points and 8.2 rebounds while shooting 40.5% from deep on 6.5 attempts per game. He has the potential to be a very reliable 3-and-D player, and the Sixers would benefit greatly from having a young player like him on the roster.

The Alabama coaching staff recently offered 2026 wide receiver Devin Carter.

Carter was a freshman this past season at Cedar Grove High School. He played an integral role in helping the Saints reach the Class 3A state championship.

Despite having three years of high school remaining, Carter has emerged as one of the top prospects in the state of Georgia. He has garnered interest from multiple SEC programs as well as other Power Five programs across the country.

Alabama is one of the eight schools that have extended verbal offers to Carter. That could put the Tide in a good spot as his recruitment unfolds.

Penn State loses transfer commitment to West Virginia

Penn State loses transfer commitment to 2023 opponent

After seemingly having a veteran with plenty of experience locked in through the transfer portal, Penn State is back on the prowl looking for some depth at wide receiver. [autotag]Devin Carter[/autotag], who had committed to Penn State out of the transfer portal, has flipped his commitment to West Virginia.

This did seemingly happen pretty quickly as Carter announced his commitment to Penn State within hours of watching the Nittany Lions win the Rose Bowl. But perhaps there was some writing on the wall as he was not formally introduced by Penn State as the new semester began this week.

The loss of Carter from the transfer portal stings, but Penn State was still being active in recruiting a receiver out of the portal and should be able to find someone to add to the program to help pad the depth after losing [autotag]Parker Washington[/autotag] and [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag].

Carter will actually be scheduled to make his West Virginia debut in Beaver Stadium. He’ll be joined by former Penn State defensive lineman Fatmora Mulbah, who transferred from Penn State to West Virginia this week. Penn State opens the 2023 season on Saturday, September 2, 2023 at home against West Virginia in a revival of the old regional rivalry with the Mountaineers for the first time since before Penn State joined the Big Ten.

Photos of Devin Carter, Penn State’s newest transfer wide receiver

Best photos of Penn State transfer addition Devin Carter during his time in the ACC.

Penn State is adding an experienced stater at wide receiver courtesy of the transfer portal in 2023. [autotag]Devin Carter[/autotag], who announced his commitment to Penn State out of the transfer portal as Penn State was celebrating its Rose Bowl championship on the field of the Rose Bowl Stadium, and his addition to the roster in 2023 is a welcomed one.

Carter brings experience to the receiver position, which is something Penn State was hoping to add in 2023 by way of the transfer portal after the early signing period. It remains to be seen if he will be the team’s new go-to option, but there is little doubt he will be a key player in the offense in the fall. Carter was NC State’s second-leading receiver in 2022 and he will be a nice target for expected starting quarterback [autotag]Drew Allar[/autotag] in 2023.

Here are some of the best photos of Penn State’s newest member of the program during his time at NC State.

Transfer portal helping Penn State plug roster for 2023

Penn State gets commitment form NC State transfer receiver Devin Carter.

After losing [autotag]Jahan Dotson[/autotag] a year early to the NFL draft a year ago, Penn State tapped into the transfer portal to add [autotag]Mitchell Tinsley[/autotag] from Western Kentucky to provide some much-needed stability and experience. Now, just as Penn State celebrated in blue and white confetti and rose petals after a Rose Bowl victory in Pasadena, the Nittany Lions have already taken advantage of the transfer portal to help boost the depth at receiver heading into 2023.

[autotag]Devin Carter[/autotag], a transfer wide receiver from NC State, announced on Twitter shortly after Penn State’s Rose Bowl victory over Utah that he had committed to Penn State. Carter will have one final year of eligibility after starting for the Wolfpack for four out of the last five years. If Penn State was looking for an experienced starter at receiver, they certainly found one in Carter.

Carter was NC State’s second-leading receiver in 2022 with 25 receptions for 406 yards with two touchdowns. Carter won’t be coming to Penn State with the same kind of offensive numbers Tinsley did when he arrived, but he should slide well into the offensive mix for an offense that will return [autotag]KeAndre Lambert-Smith[/autotag] and a dynamic young running back tandem with [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] and [autotag]Kaytron Allen[/autotag] to go with quarterback [autotag]Drew Allar[/autotag].

Don’t expect that this is the final look Penn State will take in the transfer portal for help at receiver. There is still room for another receiving target out of the portal as Penn State looks to plug the few holes it appears to have on the roster heading into the 2023 season.

Just this week, Bowling Green wide receiver Tyrone Broden announced he has received an offer from Penn State as well. Could he be the next receiver to come to Penn State out of the transfer portal? For now, we simply wait for more updates.

South Carolina’s Devin Carter eyes potential transfer to Oregon Ducks

Dana Altman looks to be active in the transfer portal, and South Carolina’s Devin Carter is eyeing the Ducks.

[jwplayer 7Bpml5pv]

We all know how adept Oregon Ducks head coach Dana Altman is when it comes to finding players in the transfer portal. It looks like he might have set his eyes on a new target.

On Thursday morning, former South Carolina Gamecock guard Devin Carter released his top-6 schools after entering the transfer portal, listing the Ducks as one of the finalists. The other teams mentioned were the UNLV Rebels, LSU Tigers, Providence Friars, UCONN Huskies, and Arkansas Razorbacks.

Carter, who stands at 6-foot-3, 188 pounds, played for one season with South Carolina, where he averaged 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 30 games. He also shot 42% from the field.

We don’t yet know which players are going to be returning for the Ducks in 2022, but there’s a good chance that they have some transfers joining the incoming recruiting class as new players on the roster.
