Scouting Report for Portland Trail Blazers Undrafted Free Agent Signing Andrew Carr
The Portland Trail Blazers plan to sign free agent Andrew Carr to an Exhibit 10 contract after he went undrafted in the 2025 NBA draft, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
Carr played for three different schools during his college career. He began at Delaware, transferred to Wake Forest and finished up as a starter at Kentucky, where he averaged 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in just 24.0 minutes per game this past season.
At his previous stops, Carr also showed off the potential to be a floor-spacing big. He may need to expand upon that ability to last beyond his first NBA contract.
Essential Facts and Stats
Previous Team: Kentucky | Position: C | Height: 6'10" | Weight: 222 | Age: 23 | Wingspan: 7'0" | PPG: 10.3 | RPG: 4.7 | APG: 1.7 | BPG: 0.7 | SPG: 0.7 | FG%: 54.4
Realistic Pro Comparison: Luke Kornet
1 of 3
Carr will try to carve out a similar career as Luke Kornet, a stretch 5 who's stuck in the NBA by adding rim protection.
Carr isn't the same level of a shot-blocker or shooter as Kornet is at this stage, but he has enough touch and size to become a threat at both.
During his final season at Wake Forest in 2023-24, he shot 37.1 percent from deep.
Strengths
2 of 3
Shooting: Carr still has some development to do, but there's at least a chance that he will one day be able to pull opposing bigs away from the hoop with his shooting.
Defensive Playmaking: Carr's raw, per-game averages don't leap off the screen, but he put up respectable marks in both blocks (2.1) and steals (1.4) per 100 possessions during his college career.
Inside Scoring: Over the course of his five years in college, Carr made 60.0 percent of his two-point attempts.
Weaknesses
3 of 3
Consistency: Carr put up a decent volume of threes in each of his five college seasons, but he only hit them at a decent rate every other year. His percentages progressed (or regressed) as follows: 28.6, 40.5, 31.1, 37.1 and 32.4.
Rebounding: A player of Carr's size, regardless of team or role, should probably average more than the 10.9 rebounds per 100 possessions that he averaged over five years.
Athleticism: Part of Carr's struggles on the boards were tied to his lack of high-end athleticism. He could struggle to keep pace against NBA bigs.
