Lakers Land Cameron Carr in Draft | Los Angeles Lakers News

The Lakers just pulled off a steal with their 24th overall pick, landing Cameron Carr — a Baylor guard who’s got the scoring punch, athleticism, and confidence to make an immediate impact. After a rocky start at Tennessee, Carr exploded at Baylor, averaging nearly 19 points, hitting over 600 points in a season, and earning All-Big 12 honors. His Combine performance — including a jaw-dropping vertical leap and elite shooting — made him stand out. The Lakers traded up with the Knicks to secure him, hoping he can slot into the rotation right away. With his father’s Lakers ties — even a dunk contest showdown with Kobe — and standout Summer League performances, Carr’s got the tools to become a key piece for LA’s future.
