Cameron Carr Discussion

Kurt probably orchestrated the whole thing.

 

Los Spurs have been developing Castle and Harper and developed Vassel and Keldon Johnson.
They played Carter Bryant meaningful minutes throughout these playoffs.
It is very possible to be a great team while developing young talent.

 

They developed Vassell and Keldon while being bad and getting the top picks that got them Wemby, Castle and Harper.
Castle and Harper are top picks with superstar potential, it helps.
But I agree with the general point and Bryant is a good example. While he is indeed a menace on defense, he doesn't shoot well and doesn't do much on offense but they found minutes for him and he kept earning them and growing through the season.

I expect the same for Thiero and Carr. Thiero had the injuries last season so hopefully he's healthy this whole summer. He must play all games. Start with a stint per half. Then start growing from there as he develops.

That's another thing about this young guys, JJ has yet to show he can trust young guys and give them the platform to grow.
JJ is very detail oriented which usually doesn't mesh well with young players

 

this is all stuff that carr can basically do now, or he's at least ahead of where a lot of those guys were when they entered the league.

felt like he got lots of good looks and missed. in his head.

not sure why carr can't improve when hauser could.

well, no players got traded last night, so who was the pick at 25 if not carr? tarris reed seems to be the consensus. i'd take carr over reed and not worry about it. you can find reed types in FA and via trade. if carr fulfills his potential, you never get a chance to get your hands on him.

i'm just not sure that's true. it would be easier to buy if anyone had traded anyone for a pick last night.

i get the concerns. it seems like for a third straight draft we kind of headed into it hoping to trade the pick, then took a prospect who slipped. the first two turned out pretty bad.

i like the theoretical fit of this one more, and i'm not convinced there was much else to be done. just have to let it play out. regardless, whoever we picked at 25 was highly unlikely to do much for us this year.
