Career highlights and awards

College

Carter played for Central Florida from 1991 to 1993 but poor grades cost him his eligibility at UCF. He started 14 games as a freshman and 15 games as a junior, averaging 9.5 points and making 102 of 310 3-point shots during his two years at UCF.[1] He enrolled at Valencia Community College in the spring of 1993 to repair his grade point. In 1994 Carter joined Rollins College[2] where he graduated in 1996.[3]

Career

Carter played for Brandt Hagen E.V. during the 1996–1997 season. He averaged 12.0 points and 4.0 assists for the club in the 1996–97 FIBA EuroCup.[4]

Carter played for the Oberwart Gunners during the 1998–1999 season and helped them win the Austrian Cup.[5] He left the club in January 1999 after the escalation of a dispute which began when the club deducted wages for time he spent with the English national team.[6] In February 1999, Carter signed with KFÍ og the Úrvalsdeild karla.[5] With Carter, KFÍ won five of their last six games and finished with the third best record in the regular season.[7] During the playoffs, they swept Tindastóll 2-0 in the first round before bowing out against Njarðvík, 1-3, in the semi-finals.[8][9]
