The Sacramento Kings are trading guard Devin Carter<\/a> and a future second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks, per ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania<\/a>. He was the No. 13 overall pick by the team out of Providence<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n

Carter played in 74 career games for the Kings and spent some time with the G-League affiliate Stockton Kings. This past season, averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, shot 41.4% from the floor and 26.3% from three-point percentage.<\/p>\n

Carter was the Big East Player of the Year in 2024 while playing for Providence. He was also First-Team All-Big East.<\/p>\n

Prior to his time at Providence, Carter played for South Carolina in 2021 and \u201922, before transferring. He was on the SEC All-Freshman Team in 2022.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Class of 2021, Carter was a four-star recruit out of Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking<\/a>. He was the No. 1 overall prospect in the state, the No. 7 guard in the class and the No. 83 overall prospect in the class.<\/p>\n

Devin Carter latest move as NBA free agency nears<\/p>\n

Carter is the latest move made by the Hawks. Funny enough, they had another trade on Draft night when they acquired LA Clippers pick Henri Veesaar.<\/a> Veesaar spent the final year of his college career with the Tar Heels after playing for\u00a0Arizona<\/a>\u00a0for his first two seasons.<\/p>\n

As a recruit, Veesaar was not ranked as a prospect in the Rivals Industry Rankings. He would receive a grade later as a transfer prospect, checking in as a four-star transfer and the No. 25 overall player in the transfer portal during his cycle as he moved on from Arizona.<\/p>\n

During his junior season at North Carolina, Henri Veesaar had a breakout campaign. He started all 31 games he appeared in, averaging 17.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. He filled up the stat sheet on a nightly basis.<\/p>\n
