I dont really see why Carr isnt a consensus late lotto - maybe even earlier.
He is a elite shooter on great volume with passable size (Needs to bulk a bit but most do), shocking STOCK numbers (2.2), surprising rebounding (Near 6 per game), respectable passing numbers, not a turnstile, decent FTr.
I dont see 8 guys better than him in this draft. I see his floor as a Malik Beasley type but someone could build an argument comparing him to Tre Johnson as a prospect IMO.
Bidunga, not so much. His 6'7 measurement is scary. Everyone wants a Rob Williams but usually they end up TJD.
I dunno, it seems like outside of Kon, most of these guys aren't given the usage where they land and because they rely so much on shooting threes and bring little else to the table (or aren't allowed to) they quickly become afterthoughts. I'm talking Kispert, Agbaji, Hawkins, Dick, Knecht, Huerter, Kennard, etc. Maybe if they got more usage and were trusted more but it's not a good ratio of that happening for this archetype. Even ones that somewhat do it's on bad teams and and it doesn't last especially once winning is the expectation. Obviously they have value but pretty much every one is a spot starter/6th man at best. Is Carr any different than these guys? You taking that guy when you probably already have someone like that already not getting touches on your roster? Everyone wants the next Klay until it's time to live with their defense and inability to play on-ball. Klay and Kon fell into perfect situations. That's two guys of this archetype out of dozens in the past decade.
Cam Carr isn't a shooter, he has 35 dunks, gets to the rim and shows 3 level scoring ability while also being a decent playmaking defender. I think he is more of a Peyton Watson type of player than Kon or these other shooters you listed out.
Sorta reminds me of Brent Barry. Excellent shooter and that overshadows just how athletic he is. Like Barry, good connective passer. Unlike Barry, I doubt he is overly passive at the next level (Brent had a career usage of just 16%).
