MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Though West Virginia point guard Jevon Carter lacks ideal size and athleticism, his skills and doggedness make him attractive to NBA coaches, a league scouting executive said.
“I think Carter was going to be drafted anyway but I think he helped himself at the combine,” the scout said. “I think he’ll go in the second round and I think he’ll be on an NBA team next year.”
The scout spoke with MetroNews on condition of anonymity one month ahead of the June 21 draft. Carter is on pace to become the first Mountaineer drafted since Da’Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks went back-to-back in 2010’s second round.
