It was just over a year ago that Antwan Carter was finishing up his college basketball career at Longwood, where he became the school's all-time scoring leader with 1,886 points during his time with the Lancers.

Carter, who grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, had never been outside of the United States until last year, but now the former basketball standout is learning his way around Europe.

A 6-foot-6 player who averaged 19.4 points and 9.1 boards in 2011-12 for the Lancers, Carter is now playing pro basketball in The Netherlands in the city of Weert for Stepco BS Weert.

“The past year was definitely a year to remember. During my junior and senior seasons at Longwood, I averaged 19 points and nine rebounds a game. By doing this, a lot of agents started watching me and wanted to sign me to their agencies,” Carter, who averaged 18.2 points and 9.5 boards as a Longwood junior, wrote in e-mail from The Netherlands in early March.
