Carter compiled 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3PT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the 76ers.
Carter returned to action after suffering an ankle sprain earlier in the preseason, moving straight into the starting lineup. A perennial underperformer, Carter will be looking to establish himself as a noteworthy center this season. He will have Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze clipping at his heels, both of whom have proven they can serve as viable starting options. As he is penciled in as the starter, Carter is worth considering as a late-round pick in drafts.
