I think Burries might be the better rookie, but that Carr has the most upside.
I guess I'm not sure why a college junior has more upside than the freshman? Because of his combine measurements? It's not like Burries numbers were terrible. Burries has a more well rounded offensive game (better playmaker, better handle, better processing) and was a much better defender. As a freshman he was the best player on a final 4 team. Carr was the best player on a team that wildly underperformed.
I get that the new FO has a preference for an athletic profile that Carr fits to a tee. I really hope that does not override talent when making decisions on a top 10 pick. Masai had his biggest successes in the late first round (or later). I hope that's where they go fishing this time around.
