Love the analysis, Jamaill! Just stumbled upon you about an hour ago and am impressed with your scouting (and writing!) skills. I'm currently writing my next blog article about the 2026 draft (scouting my preferred prospects) and would like to ask you if I'm able to reference some of your stats/numbers in my work? .. I'd tag you in the post, and if it means anything I average 1.8 views per article lol so don't worry about me swooping your fan base away😂 .. Either way I wish you continued success in your journey!

Thank you! It won't be as polished and articulate as yours lol, but I will try my best!

As a long time Raptors fan I am not excited about Carr if he is “like” Terrence Ross and Jordan Hawkins.

Ross was a permanent disappointment to the Raptors, who never seemed to understand where to be on the court coupled with shooting that needed so much support to have an open shot that he took away from the rest of the team.

Jordan Hawkins can’t seem to surpass Gradey Dick, taken by the Raptors two spots ahead of Hawkins. Only now, after 3 years, does Gradey have the muscle to play in the No Boys Allowed league (and you’ve highlighted Carr’s slight frame).

Now if you had suggested that Carr is a longer, more athletic, better shooting version of JaKobe Walter, I’d be interested. But you didn’t, even though JaKobe came from Carr’s team, Baylor.

To be fair, I am not an expert and I have not watched Carr assiduosly, so maybe you can just disregard these comments.

Those are some good points and I can see Ja'Kobe Walter as a part of his comp blend too. Nice shout on that. Another name to consider as a high end outcome is a version of Zack LaVine. Lots of similar tools and skills and the combine numbers probably will be similar too
