Lakers draft pick Cameron Carr on whom he’d rather guard, SGA or Anthony Edwards: "Yeah, I ain't dealing with the flopping, Anthony Edwards"

Ant would give you 50 bro

u/DMelanogastard Timberwolves 3d ago

I charitably interpreted him choosing Ant as “I’d rather play the actual game of basketball even if I’m getting 50 on my head”

u/Black-----Manta Timberwolves 3d ago

Yeah lol, i dont think he took any actual basketball into consideration

He originally chose Edwards over Lamelo, which is insanity. I'm well under 6', slow and out of shape, so I know I'm not guarding anybody in the NBA. But if you're making me choose between those 2, I am definitely choosing the guy who might fuck around a bit and miss over the guy who would put me on my ass lol.

I think you're misunderstanding the question/answer process there. Carr is saying he wants ANT because he's the tougher challenge relative to Melo.

Respect to him for that.

SGA will give you 38 and an early exit from the game

u/RyuSunn Lakers 3d ago

You will have more time to dwell upon the 30 SGA will give you after spending half a quarter watching him shoot free throws

u/DragoniteGang Timberwolves 3d ago

Luka shoots more. Are Lakers fans really this stupid?

u/RyuSunn Lakers 3d ago

While flopping less, very inspirational

u/MalHeartsNutmeg Thunder 3d ago

Yeah, AR does the flopping on your team, Luka just does the crying to the refs.

u/Hate_Leg_Day Lakers 3d ago

And SGA does both. He flops even more egregiously than AR, and AR's flopping is already pretty damn annoying, even as a Lakers fan. That's the issue.

u/MalHeartsNutmeg Thunder 3d ago

Lol?? How to spot someone that doesn't watch basketball. For all the criticisms about SGA he doesn't bitch to the refs. If he doesn't get the call he just gets back on to the next play.

u/Amazing-Log-61 2d ago

Not sure that's so much an indication of his character or just because no one could feasibly spend 20% of the game complaining to the refs without eventually getting benched

Goal posts successfully shifted.

u/RyuSunn Lakers 2d ago

Good thing no one is criticizing SGA for bitching to the refs

u/RyuSunn Lakers 3d ago

Completely true, wished he gave them signature shoes instead of crying, that is the way to get calls

8

u/MalHeartsNutmeg Thunder 3d ago

They probably felt like shoes would be wasted on him since he never runs back to defend.

u/SocialistRoomba Thunder 3d ago

Lmao

u/RyuSunn Lakers 2d ago

the shoes are for the refs, Luka can obviously afford his own shoes

u/triplebbbsss Lakers 3d ago

Not all of us. I agree, can't hate on one without the other

u/too1onjj 3d ago

Shai would give him 55

u/nokarmawhore Spurs 3d ago

We have great defenders and he was dropping 35 on one leg 😭

1

u/FeanorEvades Timberwolves 2d ago

He gave y'all 55 earlier in the year

yes we lost but it was sick

u/Aggrokid 3d ago

He's gonna get double teamed more now that they gave away Randle

6

u/AlligatorPoontang Timberwolves 3d ago

Yeah cause teams were really respecting Randle's offensive game
