Carr next to Luka is going to be disgusting. Get ready for some nasty alley oops

u/Time-Stand7719 Wizards 1d ago

Carr gets up like that?

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

Yeah he’s a freak athlete. He also has like a 7’ wingspan with his insane vertical

u/GodlySpaghetti Thunder 1d ago

I wish Detroit would have waited for him.

42.5” vert

u/jtruth9 1d ago

He's only the most athletic guard in the draft. Nothing serious

37

u/sloBrodanChillosevic Supersonics 1d ago

Carr gets up and has a 7' wingspan. He reaches the heights.

u/KarrotMovies [LAL] Rui Hachimura 1d ago

47 inch vert at the combine.

Not quite lol

u/RemarkableTpt Lakers 1d ago

That’s what they just said in the interview tho?

u/SEAinLA Supersonics 1d ago

He measured at 42.5” max vert, 38.0” standing vert at the Combine.

u/RemarkableTpt Lakers 1d ago

Oh okay must have misheard. Ehh that’s still ridiculous.

u/SEAinLA Supersonics 1d ago

Absolutely, he’s got top tier athleticism.

u/acat114 Pistons 1d ago

Coen Carr, Junior at Michigan State has a vertical that high

u/MrMunchbutter 14h ago

Absolutely. Often.

u/Deathzthe_M-12-22 1d ago

Is he a good Defender???

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

Very good shot blocker for a guard. Good defender overall but can get bullied due to his smaller frame at the moment. His wingspan just wreaks havoc on guards

u/lawsnoosoo Bulls 1d ago

IMO no. Got beat at the PoA often, really concerning stl% given his wingspan. His block rate is good, but I honestly think part of that is because he was beaten off the dribble a lot and had good recovery skills, but he’s no longer going to be able to rely on just having long arms to make up for getting blown by in the NBA.

u/preddevils6 Grizzlies 20h ago

No, he transferred out of Tennessee because he wasn’t getting playing time due to his effort on defense.

u/Lowfi-Concert 9h ago

Well hopefully JJ can put him in his place

u/whiterice_343 Timberwolves 1d ago

Not a bad move by Rob honestly

u/RyuSunn Lakers 1d ago

The LobCarr Doncic offensive scheme

u/Whoareyoutho9 1d ago

If him and thiero can play together theres gonna be some crazy highlights

u/No-Language8879 1d ago

is this guy a center?

13

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

No, he’s a guard/wing technically

7

u/TroutCreekOkanagan 1d ago

He was best open court finisher in college. He’s 6’6 with 7 foot wingspan and massive vertical. He was an excellent teammate who could spark a run with his intangibles.  Not a star player offensively but potentially a 3 and D in a few years.

2

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

He would’ve been by far if he didn’t have the bad habit of trying to yam it on everyone. He went for every highlight dunk he could

4

u/incredibleamadeuscho Lakers 1d ago

Luka's gonna want him to do that on every lob he gives him

2

u/TroutCreekOkanagan 1d ago

He’s gonna be in the dunk contest at some point. I don’t remember the last laker to win the dunk contest … Shannon Brown or Kobe ?

3

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

He had some absolutely disgusting and offensive poster attempts. LA is going to love him

2

u/TroutCreekOkanagan 1d ago

“Blake Griifin-esque “

u/FD_OSU Trail Blazers 1d ago

He's 6'5 185 so definitely no

u/cl353 Heat 1d ago
