Ben Carter

Ben Joshua Carter (Hebrew: בן קרטר; born August 22, 1994) is an American-Israeli basketball player who plays for Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Israel Basketball Premier League and the EuroLeague. He plays the power forward position. He said that the fact that he is Israeli "means a lot. I take pride in my Israeli citizenship, my Israeli heritage, even though I haven’t lived there my whole life. I was born there. I still have roots there. I still take pride in my culture. Just to be able to represent my country whenever I can, every time I step out on the court, it’s really an honor."

Carter's parents are Mike and Israeli-born Hadar, a former lieutenant in the Israeli Army. He attended Bishop Gorman High School ('12) in Las Vegas. He was the youngest member on the team, and his father was assistant coach to head coach Brad Greenberg.

Carter transferred to Michigan State University in the summer of 2016. In 2020-21 he averaged 8.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, as he shot 55% from the field.
