A handful of NBA rookies participated in Friday’s Rising Stars Challenge during NBA All-Star Weekend. Others spent a few days going on vacation to get a break from the hardwood. For the Memphis Grizzlies‘ Jevon Carter, he went back to familiar territory in West Virginia.
After spending four years at West Virginia University, Carter cannot stay away from Mountaineer country for very long. Who can blame him? As much as the Grizzlies love him being a piece of their future, Mountaineer fans love him even more.
Jevon Carter was a Consensus All-American and a two-time NABC Defensive Player of the Year while donning a West Virginia uniform.
