Lakers Trade Up for Athletic Guard Cameron Carr

The Lakers pulled off a surprise draft move, trading up to snag Cameron Carr — a dynamic guard from Baylor — with the 24th pick. Despite expectations for a big man, Carr brings elite athleticism, a nearly 71-inch wingspan, and elite defensive upside, averaging over a block per game in college. Offensively, he’s a scoring threat with nearly 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, plus elite three-point shooting at 37%. Carr’s thrilled to join LA, praising the team’s legacy and community support. With his combo of defense, scoring, and spacing, he could be a major steal — and fans will get their first look at him in the Vegas Summer League opener against OKC.
