I don't have the stats in front of me, but I think that Carrawell developed his three point shot later in his career. I'm just trying to think of a bigger wing player who could guard several different positions and had a pretty good handle, and a well-rounded game.
Carrowell was the ACC player of the year his senior season. Granted Carrowell might be the "least great" player to win this award but if Moto even approaches Carrowell's development he will be a stud.
Freshman Season (1996-97)
Carrawell was recruited by Duke University's Mike Krzyzewski as the third most-prized piece of the impressive Class of 2000.[2] He started 12 times out of the 31 games he appeared in during his freshman season (1996–97). He shot 57.6% from the field, averaging 5.5 points per game. He ranked third on the team in offensive rebounds with 47, and on a team that mainly featured perimeter shooting, led the team in slam dunks with 22. Some highlights as a Duke freshman in 1996-97 include Carrawell defending Wake Forest's center Tim Duncan in a matchup that took the Deacons by surprise and blocked a key Wake Forest shot down the stretch and led Duke to a rousing triumph.[3]
[edit]Sophomore Season (1997-98)
As a sophomore in the 1997–1998 season, Carrawell appeared mostly as a reserve with ten starts as Duke posted a 32-4 mark, finishing in the Elite Eight. Carrawell, having scored in double figures 22 times, was fourth of the team's scorers with 10.1 points per game, performing well in two losses to North Carolina, scoring 19 in the first meeting with UNC and 18 in the ACC tournament game. He also ranked fourth on the team in rebounding, averaging 3.1 rebounds per game. Carrawell had offseason surgery on his left shoulder prior to the start of his sophomore season and missed four games due to a strained lower back.
[edit]Junior Season (1998-99)
Carrawell contributed 9.9 points per game as a junior to help his team to reach the Final Four in the 1998-99 season. He ranked third in rebounds and dished out 130 assists to place second on a team stacked with NBA talent. During the 39-game 1998-99 season, Carrawell started every game for a Duke team that was undefeated in the ACC and that fell to the University of Connecticut in the 1999 national title game. For these efforts, he was named Third-Team All ACC.[4]
[edit]Senior Season (1999-00)
Carrawell then averaged 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 fouls, 0.9 steals, 2 turnovers, 1.1 blocks, makes 6 of 12.4 filed goals (48%), 0.8 of 2.2 three pointers (36%) and 4.1 of 5.2 free throws (78%) in 35.6 minutes per game in his senior season. Being second in his team in scoring, rebound and assists, Carrawell towed his team to finish with a record of 29-5, win the ACC Tournament championship, a number one seed, and a Sweet 16 stint in the NCAA tournament. He was 2000 ACC Player of the Year with Associated Press and First Team All-American honors.
