Overview
- The Lakers acquired Cameron Carr’s draft rights in a draft-night trade with the New York Knicks and introduced him at the team facility on Friday.
- Carr measured as one of the class’s top athletes at the combine with a roughly 7-foot-1 wingspan and a 42.5-inch max vertical while weighing about 184 pounds.
- Baylor’s leading scorer last season, Carr averaged 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and shot 37.4% from three, giving him a 3-and-D profile that fits LA’s spacing needs.
- At his introductory news conference Carr made defense his priority and said he plans to add weight this offseason to handle NBA physicality.
- The move comes after the Lakers locked in Austin Reaves with a four-year extension and added multiple Summer League prospects, with Carr set to be evaluated further in Las Vegas as other roster moves remain under the league moratorium.
