ESPN analyst thinks Jevon Carter can stick with Grizzlies

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — ESPN college basketball analyst Seth Greenberg, visiting for the Greenbrier pro-am, projects Jevon Carter will last in the NBA “for a while because off his toughness.”

Carter recently made his summer league debut after being picked 32nd overall by the Memphis Grizzlies.

“He’s going to be a second-unit guy, but you know who you’re getting. He knows exactly who he is and how he wins, so he’s not going to try to get outside of himself,” Greenberg told MetroNews “Talkline” on Tuesday.

While West Virginia’s career steals leader probably won’t ever command “$25 million a year,” Greenberg predicted Carter’s ball pressure will be disruptive to halfcourt offenses.
