Ben Couch continues his player profiles with one on the team captain. Couch takes note of two of Carter's lesser appreciated attributes: his his leadership, particularly with young players, and his passing. He chronicles how well Carter did addressing the need for a team leader and reveals how his role as a third point guard started with an offer to Lawrence Frank that he could be "the next Penny Hardaway."
