Despite limited playing time last year behind a seasoned perimeter unit that included a first-round NBA Draft pick in Dalton Knecht, shooting guard Cameron Carr showcased his talent as a spot-up shooter during his freshman season.
In his senior year at Link Prep in Missouri, Carr excelled as an efficient shooter, averaging 1.17 points per shot. At Tennessee, he faced stiff competition at the guard position but still demonstrated his catch-and-shoot abilities. This season, Carr will compete for playing time against experienced transfers and returning seniors, hoping to establish himself as a scoring threat in the SEC.
Primarily playing as a shooting guard and on the wing, Carr provides valuable off-ball scoring options with his deep shooting range. While his statistics from his freshman year may not be eye-catching, his shooting form suggests potential for improvement.
Despite his limited minutes in his freshman season, Carr’s shooting percentages do not reflect his true abilities, especially considering his emphasis on three-point shooting. Playing alongside standout point guard Zakai Ziegler this season could provide Carr with more opportunities to showcase his skills and potentially elevate his draft stock.
