Josh Carter

Carter is a swingman out of Texas A&M who went undrafted in 2009, and so did what many undrafted swingman do; he went to Germany. Rather than joining any German team, Carter managed to land a lucrative gig with EWE Baskets Oldenburg, who were in the Euroleague this year. And playing rotation minutes in the Euroleague in your first professional season is no mean feat.

Unfortunately, Carter didn't play very well. He is primarily an outside shooter, even moreso at the upper echelons of the game, but he just didn't shoot well last year. Carter averaged 7.7 ppg in the German league on 32% 3PT, and 7.8 ppg in the Euroleague on 33% 3PT, taking three 3 pointers to every two 2 pointers. He has NBA size at 6'7, but not the jumpshot, and is no Demetris Nichols.

Ex-Texas A&M swingman Carter went undrafted this summer, and couldn't get an NBA contract even after a summer league gig with the Suns. Subsequently, he moved to Germany to play with EWE Baskets Oldenburg, a team that was in the Euroleague this season. Oldenburg were one of the worst teams in the Euroleague this season (no offence), and were knocked out in the group stage with a 1-9 record (joint worst with Orleans), but the Euroleague is still the Euroleague, and so Carter's gig has some pedigree. Carter didn't play especially well in the Euroleague, averaging 7.8 points and 2.5 rebounds on 35% shooting, but he's doing a little better in the German league where he averages 9.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 21 minutes per game, shooting 44% from the field and 41% from three point range.
