    Don't think so. Same logic applied to Knecht and Thiero, guys that slip in the draft and we pick them up as they fill a need (shooting and/or athleticism), although mostly we are trusting their upside

    The Lakers seem to have a nose for players that are drafted late

    This was a first round pick so I threw that out there

    he doesn't seem as scrawny as ingram - that frame where you just don't think any mass can be added. Hopefully he can add 20lbs of muscle - he's got potential as he can shoot and jump.

    Looks great honestly.

    I've also liked what I've seen from Manon on defense.

    Adou still looks raw, but he's got the athleticism to do things you just can't teach.

    Yeah, he's 6'5 and weighs 170. Just way too thin. Ingram was scrawny because he was much taller but Carr should be able to add some weight to his frame. He's going to get shoved out of the way by guys like Brunson and Harden.

    Lavine weighed in around 180 lbs his rookie season and got up to 220 lbs at one point. If Carr can get around 210, you could have a very serviceable perimeter defender who can guard the 1-3. Just tough to see how 170 lbs will last in the NBA. One elbow to the Carr's ribs and he's going to understand that he needs to bulk up.

    Combine had him at 184, still not very husky for his height, but better than 170. Where were you sourcing that from?

    "Cameron Carr measured 6'4.5" (barefoot) and 184 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'0.75" wingspan. Born on November 21, 2004, the 21-year-old wing was widely considered one of the top athletic performers at the combine, posting a massive 42.5-inch max vertical leap"
