This weekend brought birthdays for two members of the Memphis Grizzlies‘ current roster. Oddly enough, both of the team’s two rookies were the players officially gaining another year of age.
Turning 23 years old this past Friday was Jevon Carter — the 32nd overall selection in this year’s annual NBA Draft. He is a total workhorse. It is easy to see that Carter was a four-year senior when declaring for the NBA due to his mental toughness and maturity.
Combine these characteristics with his defensive abilities in the backcourt, and the result is an incredible roadblock for the opposition to attempt to hurdle.
