My Take
I have a soft spot for defense-first guards, and Jevon Carter is exactly that. Winning the 2017 NABC Defensive Player of the Year at West Virginia tells you everything about his identity: he made his name hounding ball-handlers rather than padding stat sheets. In a league obsessed with scoring, players like Carter are the connective tissue that keeps a roster honest. From Oak Park to the NBA, his climb reads as a story of relentless effort over flash. I find that kind of grit genuinely admirable, and I think every contending team quietly needs a Carter.
