I don't think Phoenix would be interested in helping us get him though? If there is any fire to this smoke Monte needs to jump in front of the line. We can take him for free why would WAS want Nurk? He makes double the salary and still has another year on the contract if they just want off Jonas they can do it free.
In the end, if you run pick and roll you are a essentially a modern PG. He'll likely be more of a combo which is was most G's are these days. See how he develops. In college he was by the numbers the best pick and roll guard last season IIRC. Or one of them. He's definitely more of an initiate and play within the offense type though. Per minute he's doing what he did in college across the board although the efficiency on shots is obviously down because he's in that danger zone of shooting 3-4 times a game most nights. Make 1 you suck, make 2 you're a god. Huerter was in that same danger zone this season. Carters lack coming in always looked to be being a little clanky around the rim. That's an ability young players can develop so it's not a huge hinderance. Per 36 he's 5th on the team in APG as it is among players that have played over 100 minutes. Behind Fox, Domas, Malik, and McLaughlin. The question moving forward as Carter gets an offseason to actually you know, work out, and a preseason to you know, practice, is if he gets minutes does most of that productivity carry over? Time will tell, and there is time.
I mean, I think he's better suited as a combo guard/secondary playmaker, but Christie stopped playing him. He's only been above 8 minutes in 4 of his last 8 games. In 3 of those games, he literally got 1 3 minute rotation.
His G-League games and his first 5 games I thought were very good and very promising moving forward. But you're not going to get an accurate read on Carter with such inconsistent playing time.

Speculation
We need to make another move or two.
We have cap, exemptions, and open roster spots.
Bamba cleared waivers; he would help.
I agree we need ball handling. Monk is great in half court offense but under pressure . . .
Love Ellis to death but also would trust him to run the point. He dictates passes.
