With the controversial Flyers, Carter averaged 19.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1 block per game while shooting 38 percent from 3-point range.

As a result, he became a more prolific and dangerous shooter.

Carter is the son of Anthony Carter, who played 13 years in the NBA as an undrafted free agent and is currently an assistant coach with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The NBA Draft will be held in New York City on June 26th and 27th. The first round will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the second round the following day at ESPN's studios in lower Manhattan.
