Heat 2024 NBA Draft Big Board 1.0: Who could Miami draft at no. 15?
By Wes Goldberg
2. Devin Carter, guard, Providence
Age: 22
Size: 6-2, 6-9 wingspan, 193 pounds
Signature strength: Competitive defender who has that dog in him
Notable weakness: Might not have lead guard potential
Carter might be the draft’s biggest riser after a strong junior year and showing off his elite athleticism at the draft combine. Scouts laud his intangibles and leadership skills and his fans tend to believe his 38% mark from 3-point range after two sub-30% seasons from deep is a trend and not an aberration.
In Miami, Carter’s on-ball defense, hustle and toughness would fit seamlessly in the locker room. The fact that he’s the son of former Heat player and assistant coach Anthony Carter doesn’t hurt, either.
