May 21 Mock Draft Spot: No. 13
Pro comparison: Derrick White
A big winner from athletic testing, Devin Carter set an NBA combine record in the sprint, tied for the highest max vertical and finished third in lane agility time. He also measured a near 6’9″ wingspan, huge and key for a guard who could be considered undersized at the 2.
Despite strange shooting mechanics, he made plenty of jumpers during drills after hitting 84 threes this season. Teams may question the upside of a 6’2″ combo, but between the shotmaking improvement, nifty ball-screen play and outstanding defensive length, IQ, quickness and intensity, Carter looks like a top-20 lock who’ll get looks in the late lottery.
