MEN'S BASKETBALL: D.J. CARTON FLASHES GREAT POTENTIAL AGAINST UMASS-LOWELL

Ohio State’s top 2019 recruit showed Sunday why he could be an impact player in his first season with the Buckeyes.

Freshman guard D.J. Carton flashed the distribution and playmaking abilities that earned him the No. 34 rank in the class of 2019, racking up four assists with just one turnover and a team-high 13 points on 5-for-6 shooting.

“He’s got a good feel for the game,” Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said. “He’s gonna go through ups and downs, for sure, and I think that’s part of it. He’s got an understanding, but he’s gonna go through ups and downs, but he’s had a good start.”

Carton’s skills as a playmaker flashed through two primary vessels — 3-point shooting and his play in transition.

Nine of Carton’s points came from behind the arc, where he shot 3-for-4.

The Iowa product’s play in transition added explosiveness to the Ohio State attack, Holtmann said, and his quick-twitch athletic abilities were something the coaching staff admired about him in high school.

“I’ve never coached a guy with his burst,” Holtmann said. “He’s got the best 0-to-60 I’ve coached. That can be a game-changer, sometimes it can get ahead of you and you can get to playing too fast but we loved that about him when we recruited him.”
