Carter is averaging 23.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals across his last six games — representing elite two-way production. This span aligns with Bryce Hopkins (knee) suffering a season-ending injury, symbolizing that Carter is successfully stepping up as the main man in Providence’s offense.
