Scouting Report:

Carson is a tremendous athlete and will be one of the fastest players in the league, as he is a blur with the ball in his hands and loves to beat the defense down the floor to get easy transition baskets, possessing the ability to change speeds in the blink of an eye. He also has great leaping ability, regularly dunking the ball when he has an open lane to the rim.he was relatively effective from 3-point territory, where he shot 39.1% on three attempts per game. He is very solid with his feet set and is capable of stretching the floor when the ball is not in his hands, which doesn’t happen all that often.Offensively, one of Carson’s biggest strengths is his ability to get to the rim in the halfcourt. He complements his elite speed with excellent moves off the dribble, including a crossover, behind the back dribble and a hesitation move. – Source: DraftExpress
