Despite having some promising moments early in his career, Carter fell out of the rotation in the playoffs with the Suns in 2021, and after being traded to Brooklyn was waived during the '21-'22 season in order for the Nets to facilitate some trades. Carter then signed with the Bucks, and got real minutes in '22-'23, as Carter played a career high in minutes and was part of the nightly rotation, although his role did still diminish slightly in the playoffs. After signing with the Bulls in 2023, he struggled in the '23-'24 season, shooting poorly and not getting consistent minutes. Carter is a combo guard that is best served defending point guards but playing off the ball on offense. He works really hard on defense, and slides his feet well to stay in front of ball-handlers. He has posted high steal and block rates for most of his career. Carter is a 38% shooter from three, but he isn't a playmaker and his field goal percentage at the rim is near the bottom of the league. Therefore, Carter's role on offense is pretty clear, and that's to make open spot-up threes. If he can do that, and hopefully expand his game enough to be able to attack hard close-outs and either make a play for himself or others, he could stick around in the league as a legitimate rotation-level player. He hit a career low 32% from 3 in '23-'24. Carter will already be 30 years old by the time the '25-'26 season begins, so he's not as young as many would think. He has had some productive moments in his career, but unless he has a bounce-back season in '24-'25, he won't have much of a market in free agency.
