Summary:
Jevon Carter has flown under the radar all year long, and he was the best player on a West Virginia team that almost was able to defeat a really good Gonzaga team in the Sweet 16 last season. This year, he had a very good senior season, and he played really well on both ends of the floor this year.
He is a tough, gritty playmaker that will also get after it on the defensive end, as he may be the best defender among prospects at the point guard position. With his skill set, he could end up being a good pick for an NBA team in the second round on draft day.
