Midseason additions for the Miami Heat that will be too good to pass up on: Jevon Carter
Jevon Carter spent last season with the Phoenix Suns, helping them reach the NBA Finals. However, he played a fairly limited role with a bunch of other guards ahead of him in the depth chart.
That being said, he has shown some real potential as a 3&D point guard. He was traded to the Nets this offseason, but they could look to make some changes this year.
Brooklyn has a very full roster, and if they want to make room to add players at the deadline, Carter could be on the chopping block. They traded for him to get rid of Landry Shamet, but who knows if they want to keep him.
Carter has two years left on his current contract. He’ll be making around $3.8 million this year and just over $4.1 million the following season.
His main draw as a player is his great defense. Ever since his time in college he has been known as one of the best, grittiest defenders on the court at all times.
Despite being only 6-1, he manages to match up well with much taller opponents. If given the chance, he could cause havoc on the defensive end off of Miami’s bench.
In addition, he has also improved as a shooter in recent years. Two seasons ago, he shot 42.5% from three-point range, and just last year he shot 37.1%.
Adding Carter to the guard rotation would be some great point guard insurance. It’s always nice to have an extra point guar handy.
