Traci Carter quickly carved out a role as Marquette’s true point guard in 2015-16. He was a vocal leader on the floor, had a “pass-first” mentality, was a good perimeter defender, and had strong court vision. The freshman from Philadelphia finished the year averaging 5.4 points per game, 4.6 assists (5th in the Big East), and 1.4 steals (6th). He finished 3rd among Marquette freshmen all-time in total assists (153) and 4th in total steals (48). He earned 19 starts: a 15-game mid-season stretch and the final 4 games of the season.
In a video posted on the athletic department’s YouTube channel, Head Coach Steve Wojciehowski stated that the team was better when Traci was playing well.
