| Vince Carter earned Rookie of the Year honors following an electrifying debut season in the NBA for the Toronto Raptors, who obtained him in a draft day trade. Carter was selected fifth overall by the Golden State Warriors in the 1998 NBA Draft as an early entry candidate out of NorthCarolina, then immediately traded to the Raptors along with cash for the rights to college teammate Antawn Jamison, the fourth overall selection in the draft. An explosive 6-6 swingman, Carter improved steadily in his three years at North Carolina and earned First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference and Second Team All-America honors in 1997-98. Carter averaged 7.5 ppg as a freshman and 13.0 rpg as a sophomore before coming into his own as a junior. He averaged 15.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game and led the ACC with a field goal percentage of .590, including marks of 18.2 ppg, 5.8 rpg and .590 in the NCAA Tournament. He tallied a season-high 24 points (two shy of his career high, set against Wake Forest as a sophomore) in the tournament against UNC-Charlotte and netted 21 points in the national semifinals against Utah, shooting 10-for-16 against the Utes. Like another 6-6 North Carolina product named Michael Jordan, Carter blossomed upon hitting the pros, dazzling fans and the media with his acrobatic drives to the basket and dynamic dunks. He was a runaway choice for Rookie of the Year after averaging 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.54 blocks and 1.10 steals for the Toronto Raptors. He was the only rookie to lead his team in scoring in 1998-99. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
