Celtics Eye Former Lottery Pick Carter
12 Sep
Summary
- Celtics show interest in waiving guard Devin Carter.
- Carter, a former lottery pick, seeks new NBA opportunity.
- Celtics view Carter's signing as low-risk, high-reward.
The Boston Celtics are reportedly interested in acquiring Devin Carter, a guard recently waived by the Atlanta Hawks. Carter, a former lottery pick from the 2024 NBA Draft, spent his initial seasons with the Sacramento Kings before being traded to Atlanta.
Carter has seen limited action in his NBA career, averaging 8.9 points in the 2025-26 season but struggling with efficiency. His potential is largely seen in his defensive capabilities, drawing comparisons to Derrick White. The Celtics might view this as a low-risk, high-reward signing.
He could learn from veteran Mike Conley, potentially modeling his game after the experienced guard. Carter will need to improve his efficiency to secure a role with the Celtics.
