Baylor Senior point guard Tweety Carter received a four-game suspension to begin to 2009-2010 season, according to head coach Scott Drew.

Drew said Carter was suspended for rules violations, but did not go into details on the nature of the suspension.

The 5-foot-10 Carter will miss Friday's season opener against Norfolk State, as well as games against Hartford, Southern and Hardin-Simmons. Carter is expected to return for Baylor's biggest test to start the season, a Thankgiving Day game against Alabama in the first round of the Old Spice Classic in Florida.

Carter, the only McDonald's American in school history, averaged a career high 10.6 points and 3.2 assists as a junior for the Bears. He is expected to take over for the departed Curtis Jerrells at the starting point guard position.

In his place tonight, Baylor is expected to start freshman A.J. Walton.

Curtis Jerrells will begin his rookie year playing for the Austin Toros under former Mizzou coach Quin Snyder. The former Baylor guard was cut by the San Antonio Spurs following the end of the 2009-2010 NBA Pre-season.

CJ joins the Toros alongside fellow allocated player Roderick Riley and returning players Justin Bowen, Ryan Bright, Fred Gibson, Carldell Johnson, Dwayne Jones and Jason Parker. Jerrells is the only rookie on Austin's roster. CJ will battle former UAB guard Carldell "Squeaky" Johnson for the Toros' starting point guard spot.

Five Questions For... Baylor basketball

In a recurring piece leading up to the start of the basketball season, we will examine the top 5 questions surrounding each Big 12 basketball team.

Today, the top 5 questions for the Baylor Bears.

1)       Can the Bears rebound from the loss of 50% of their scoring and 2/3 of their assists due to graduation?

2)       Coach Scott Drew can recruit, but can he coach those guys to a third straight post season tournament?

3)       Can Michigan transfer Ekpe Udoh be the defensive force Bears fans are expecting from the 6-10 center?

4)       Did highly ranked recruit Nolan Dennis make the right decision in rescinding his verbal from Memphis and commit to Baylor?

5)       Who will be the go-to guy this year, LaceDarius Dunn, Tweety Carter or one of the freshman?

Check back tomorrow when we will ask Five Question For... the Big 12 Conference.
