Michael Carrera Named To 2013 SEC All-Freshman Team

Cocklover · 03-12-2013, 11:58 AM

South Carolina forward Michael Carrera was named to the 2013 SEC All-Freshman Team on Tuesday, as voted on by the league's 14 head coaches. The league honors were announced in advance of the 2013 SEC Tournament, which begins on Wednesday in Nashville, Tenn.

Carrera has had an outstanding year in 2012-13, posting five double-doubles on the season, 12 double-figure scoring games and six double-figure rebounding efforts. Carrera has led or shared the team lead in scoring on nine occassions, and has collected a team best in rebounds 13 times. He has led the team in scoring in six and in rebounding in nine of the last 12 games entering SEC Tourney play, averaging 10.4 points and 7.8 rebounds during the stretch. Among freshmen in the SEC (overall games), Carrera ranks fourth in scoring (10.0) and second in rebounding (7.3). Carrera's selection is the first in the category for the Gamecocks since Bruce Ellington was named to the All-Freshman Team in 2011.

Well deserved.
Averaged close to a double-double as a freshman on a bad team.

He's one guy that needs the offseason to get here. He's hurt and that hip needs rest

Luke Skycocker · 03-12-2013, 12:21 PM

Hopefully he'll put on some weight and work on his shot in the offseason

sc455 · 03-12-2013, 12:37 PM

can you imagine how good he will be when he gets shooting down a bit more? Once that happens it will be awesome.

Luke Skycocker · 03-12-2013, 12:39 PM

and he has to learn how to play defense without fouling

cockypanther · 03-12-2013, 12:44 PM

Good news for Carrera!

M.C. · 03-12-2013, 12:52 PM

he is a great player he needs to keep his head in the game though and stop complaining to refs and let stuff go

CarolinaCat · 03-12-2013, 02:38 PM

Nice to see him rewarded for the total effort he put in all season long. Kid has a ton of heart and energy and once its channeled will be a serious force to deal with within the conference. Sometimes he just got too emotional but hey he just wants to win , has a great attitude and is just going to continue improving.

Congrats to Cabrera! Definitely worked hard and earned this honor.

Rebel4ever · 03-12-2013, 11:39 PM

Needs to be more consistent. Could have used the 16 he scored at aTm in the Vandy game. Still a lot of work to be done on his game. No doubt he can get better.

Well deserved. I love the passion he displays on the court. With his heart, he will be phenomenal with Martin's coaching.

Carrera is going to develop into a star not only on our team but in the SEC in the next few years. With some solid coaching and more experience he's going to be awesome.
