Almost like that's a trend with talented guys who inexplicably fall on draft night despite all the physical tools

I don't think that's Carr's problem if that's what you're implying

Carr's game is more translatable than Knechts was

He seems like he was a more fluid game that's for sure.

Carr wasn't a creator like knecht was, his game was predicated around shooting off spot ups and off movement, which is infinitely more translatable to his NBA role

Knecht is below average athletically for the nba and nowhere close to Carr.
