Summary
Cameron Carr, a 6-foot-5 guard from Baylor, was projected as a mid-first-round pick in the NBA draft but ended up being selected 24th by the New York Knicks, who then traded his draft rights to the Los Angeles Lakers in a multi-team deal. During his introductory news conference, Carr expressed disbelief and gratitude about joining the Lakers, a team he didn't work out for during the pre-draft process. He is determined to exceed expectations, following in the footsteps of his father, who played six seasons in the NBA.
