  "account": "Boston Celtics have signed 24-year-old guard Devin Carter, who will compete for a roster or two-way spot during training camp. Carter was waived by the Atlanta Hawks earlier this week, prompting the Celtics to pursue him.\n\nA product of South Carolina and Providence, Carter earned Big East Player of the Year honors in 2024 and First-team All-Big East recognition in his two seasons. He was drafted 13th overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 2024 NBA Draft.\n\nCarter's biggest question heading into his NBA career is his outside shooting. In 2022-23, he averaged 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game while shooting 40.1% from the field and 27.4% from three-point range. If he can improve his three-point shooting, Carter has the tools to become a valuable three-and-D player. He drew comparisons to Derrick White during the draft due to his versatile skill set.\n\nOne area of concern is Carter's durability. He appeared in 36 games as a rookie and 38 games as a sophomore. With the Celtics' interest in Carter, fans can expect to see how he develops as a reliable contributor at the guard position.",
