I don't know what has gotten into Kempe but I think it is more that latter. Carter was extremely underrated in the 2014-16 era (ASG appearance being the one time he got his due). I think he really elevated the games of 70 and 73. But he has been a shell of himself since the injury. His speed burst is gone and he's a veteran center with a good wrist shot. I think the days of Carter being an elite 2C are in the past.
