Offensive Game
Efficient off the catch and in transition; self-created pull-up offense against set defenses is less proven.
2026 NBA Draft
Selected 24th overall by the New York Knicks; rights traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Third-Team All-Big 12 (2026)
Averaged 18.9 points at Baylor after transferring from Tennessee, earning Third-Team All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-Newcomer Team honors.
2026 NBA Combine Testing Standout
Registered top marks in vertical leap and lane agility, reinforcing his athletic 3-and-D profile.
An Eden Prairie, Minnesota product who prepped at Manhattan High and Link Academy, Carr spent two injury-shortened seasons at Tennessee, taking a medical redshirt after a thumb injury before transferring to Baylor. He broke out for the Bears in 2025-26, averaging 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists on 49.4% shooting and 37.4% from three, earning Third-Team All-Big 12 and Big 12 All-Newcomer honors. At 6-foot-5 with a reported 7-foot wingspan and elite combine testing—among the top marks in vertical leap and lane agility—he profiles as a 3-and-D wing. His pull-up shot creation and consistency as a lead scorer against pro defenders remain the developmental questions. New York drafted him 24th overall on June 23, 2026, then traded his rights to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he flashed early as a Summer League scorer.
