I agree but we are still looking at an awfully small sample size of that combination playing against teams mostly already solidified into playoff slots, and many teams resting multiple players (or having injuries to key players).
That being said, I like what Carter brings. Qwigglez (I think) earlier mentioned that he didn't expect him back due to comments he had made regarding Booker.
Not Jevon himself, but someone within his circle. They kept pointing out how Booker is playing the dating scene with a Kardashian, how Booker isn't working on his game, how Booker only cares about getting his stats and not the team, etc. I felt if someone that close to Jevon Carter is publicly saying stuff that he likely wouldn't be on the team after his contract ends. Even in Jevon Carter's breakout game, his quote afterwards seemed to be a subtle jab at Booker when he said something along the lines of hating players that don't try hard on defense and only care about scoring and what not.
I actually like Carter and hope he comes back. I feel he just needs to break out more and trust his skills, he looks hesitant a lot of times out there on offense.
Also want to point out, I don't see Jevon Carter getting some huge offer from a team. I think he maybe gets $2.5 million one year deal somewhere, and might even take a 2 year deal + 1 team option of something in the range of $5.5 million total. I hope we keep him for something like that, but I guess it only takes one team to offer him something more and I doubt we match.
