Vince Carter has caught on quickly in the NBA with his high-flying dunks, athletic ability and all-around power game. This led to him winning the rookie of the year, and almost taking the Toronto Raptors to their first ever playoffs. Vince is capable of playing either the small forward or off guard positions due to his excellent speed and leaping abilities. Before Carter entered the NBA he also rose quickly through the ranks of college, averaging 7.5, 13.0 and 15.6 points per game respectively, improving each year. By his junior year Carter was ready for the NBA and he made himself eligible for the draft. He was selected number five in the draft by the Warriors and then immediately traded to the Raptors for his former Tarheel teammate, Antawn Jamison.This season he has been starring each game getting one, if not more plays in the NBA's top 10 plays each week!
