Javier Carter will make his BIG3 debut as a member of the Killer 3’s this season. Carter is listed at 6’8, 245 pounds, so he’s got the size of a true power forward and isn’t afraid to throw his weight around when he gets near the basket.
During Carter’s four years at South Alabama, he was more of a pure athlete – he only made one three in those four years, but he blocked a stunning 2.48 shots in 24.3 minutes per game his senior year.
Carter has played professionally all around the world including stops in Spain, Israel, Argentina, Japan, Panama and Uruguay. He also did a stint in the G-League with the Bakersfield Jam. During his time in the pros, Carter has rounded out his game and can knock down the three if the opportunity presents itself, although he prefers to punish defenses by slashing to the hoop and finishing with a dunk.
Versatile wings/forwards like Carter have traditionally done well in FIREBALL3, so it’s possible he’ll will be able to make an impact for the Killer 3’s sooner rather than later.
