Scouting reports

Scout: JazzyJ

The re-incarnation of Rex Chapman? Perhaps; Keith Carter has that kind of talent. True, Carter is caucasian and has uncanny hops (like Rex). But Carter also has the same kind of streaky offensive game that Rex displayed during his days at Kentucky.

Carter has good size at shooting guard, and certainly matches up athletically at that spot as well. He is a good shooter from the outside (although streaky, as mentioned), and can create his own shot. Did I fail to mention his vertical leap? Finished 2nd to Melvin Levett in the Slam Dunk contest at the Desert Classic, and won the 3-pt shooting contest. Played on the Goodwill Games team this past summer and impressed many with his heady play.

Will probably be overlooked into the second round, but if Jeff Sheppard can cut it as a free agent, Keith Carter will make it on somebody's roster.
