“Andraya has a rocket strapped to her back. She’s the next one,” another declared.
“I looovvveeeee this for her!!! She is one of my favorite analyst !! I love her perspective on the game of basketball,” wrote a third.
Andraya Carter played college basketball at the University of Tennessee under the late-great Pat Summitt. She has the distinction of being one of the last players ever recruited by the college coaching legend.
Rather than go pro after college, Carter when into broadcasting, where she has risen from covering the G League to covering college sports.
Congratulations to Andraya Carter!
