    I don't love Carroll, but he's an interesting wing option. Solid player.

    Even if he ends up in south bay, we needed a wing with some potential to groom there as well.

    He liked probably his earliest tweet welcoming him to the Lakers from yours truly...
    :Lukewaltonlook:

    Our UDFA class has been awesome with Carroll,Newman, Berry and Williams.

    Alright doing a little film work on Jeffery Carroll. I don't have time to do the gif breakdown now, will likely get to it later, but what I'm seeing:

    • He's a good rebounder, sticks out as an offensive rebounder. Think something like Gerald Green in that respect, a guy who can create more opportunities for his team.
    • Inconsistent defensively. He can get caught ball watching, but when he's engaged he's a hard worker.
    • Oklahoma St. played in and saw a lot of zone so it's a little tough to see what kind of one-on-one defender he is on a consistent basis, but from what I've seen he stops moving his feet sometimes. Will start in good position, but give up too quickly and too easily.
    • Not a great ball handler, mostly a straight line driver, but he's fairly strong so he can finish in traffic.
    • His shot release point is inconsistent, he finishes forward too often which leads to hard misses off the back iron or the backboard altogether.
    • He likes to grab boards and push. Will fit right in with our schemes on that front.
    • He's a surprisingly really good passer in the open floor. He's a good passer in general (not great), but can make some nice plays in transition. In the half-court he tends to pass a little too much, but that's because he isn't the best ball handler.
    • Not a shot creator for himself or others on a consistent basis in the half court. Seems like his ceiling is set a little bit low unless he makes big strides in that area.

    I didn't hate him. I think he can develop. I just don't see an NBA guy right now.

    I don't see it as hating... He's not very good. Maybe he can latch on as an end of the bench player due to sheer hard work.

    Now there is a definite possibility. He's the kind of kid who might fail, but we'll appreciate him still.
