Carter, who is 21 years old, is a 6'1" guard who played collegiately at Texas A&M. She was a three-time All-American and led the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament in each of her three seasons.
"I'm so excited to be joining the Atlanta Dream," Carter said. "I'm from Texas, so it's great to be able to stay close to home."
