More notes on this game · 38 All prospects Cameron Carr
1:32 My gripe with Carr is that he is extremely low IQ at times and a bad passer. Perfect example here. 2:18 Although more understandable than the turnover, there is no need to take a deep 3 with time to work with. 3:53 Good defensive effort here from Carr, even though he gives up the bucket. 4:51 Not a big deal as he is fighting a big here, but I've noticed Carr has been getting pushed around inside. 6:02 Carr has really nice defensive footwork. 6:12 While I understand he got hit here, this was not a super smart play by Carr. I really don't trust him with the ball in his hands. 11:50 Again, no need for this pass. First thing Carr does after checking in again. 12:31 I do really like Carr's shooting stroke, it's hard to guard. Really smooth off a nice off-ball action. 12:53 Maybe this is part of the defensive scheme, but no effort to fight over the screen here. Forces his teammate to make a tough closeout. 13:09 I'm really loving Carr's ability to move and get open off ball. Pass didn't make it but good play. 13:18 This is a foul 9 out of 10 times in the NBA. No need for this kind of play. 18:20 This wasn't his most awful shot, but still not a great one. Carr seems to rush into shots when the ball is in his hands. 18:46 Carr tries to create for himself here, but clearly didn't adapt to the help. Good on him for trying to make a play, but not much done here. 19:18 Again, Carr is excellent off the catch. This is truly where he is best, and he sets up so fast. 19:39 Carr gets caught ball watching and gives his man a putback. Not ideal. 25:26 I thought Carr was doing better here in transition, but when he got the mismatch on Diop, he faced his body away from the rim and got off an awful shot off instead of passing to Powell who had a size advantage. 26:14 Another play where Carr sees an oppurtunity but throws a bad pass. His passing is really off. 27:23 It's good to see Carr moving off the ball, but it's clear none of his teammates can consistently get him a good look off the catch during live play. 29:07 I don't know who's job it was to follow the open man, but Carr could have been that player, and he was not at all focused. 29:27 Once again, everyone knows what Carr is doing on-ball He gets the three this time, but this guy relies only on his high shot for creation. 31:17 Carr gets stuck in no man's land after Yessoufou gambles on the steal, which is a tough situation, but Carr also mismanages the situation and doesn't commit. 33:35 Another bad pass. I don't see why Carr is looking for something extra. 33:51 Carr gets blindsided after the Odum miss and gives the Sun Devils another oppurtinity. Maybe it's not a lack of IQ, but awareness. 34:22 Although it is a miss, much better from Carr. Attacks the basket directly, and doesn't drive in headfirst. 37:32 Much better from Carr, doesn't force a 3 himself, and this time throwing a pass inside paid off. 37:57 Good shot and hustle from Carr. 39:22 Carr will have some gravity to him as a shooter, here he frees up Powell off the ball. 39:45 Carr once again fumbles a transition oppurtunity with his lack of bal handling and awareness. 40:41 Carr does a little too much to get free here, but not a massive mistake. 44:51 Carr once again out of position on the rebound, but it won't matter because the shot falls. 45:44 Again, Carr instantly looks to the 3 the moment he has to handle the ball. 59:56 Carr once again gets a good bucket off of a screen by attacking at the right angle. His tunnel vision was absent this play. 61:34 Carr trying to save his team. but forcing a bad shot, it seems he thinks he can shoot from anywhere. 62:40 Carr once again forcing a horrible shot, bad even accounting for his teammates' lack of scoring. 63:49 This time Carr learns and tries to attack a little bit more. His handle doesn't help but he draws a fould which is good. 65:09 Carr commits a silly foul and hurts his teams' chanced of winning here, all that was needed was a trap. 67:54 Once again desperation 3 for Carr, but I don't blame him this time. 73:04 Nice pump fake, there is a high chance he gets that call in the NBA.
