Early life and high school career

Carter initially attended Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village, Colorado. He transferred to Doral Academy Preparatory School in Doral, Florida, after his freshman year, when his family relocated to Florida following his father, Anthony Carter, being hired as a player development coach for the Miami Heat.[1] Carter's senior season was cut short due to a shoulder injury, and he opted to enroll at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, for a postgraduate year.[2] Carter was rated a three-star recruit and committed to playing college basketball for South Carolina during his senior year at Doral Academy.[3]

As a sophomore, Carter transferred to Providence.[7] He averaged 13 points and 4.9 rebounds in his first season with the Friars.[8] After the season, Providence head coach Ed Cooley left for Georgetown University. Many assumed Carter would follow his coach to Georgetown or explore another school in the transfer portal, but at the time, players weren’t allowed to transfer twice without sitting out a year and Carter stayed at Providence.

In his second season at Providence, under first year head coach Kim English, he won both Big East First Team and Big East Player of the Year.[9] Carter averaged nearly 20 points and 9 rebounds per game, establishing himself as one of the best players in college basketball. His outstanding scoring ability, tenacious defense, and high-motor impressed NBA scouts throughout his junior season.
