Carr may be the most impactful transfer not named Jaxson Robinson. Carr is a multi-year player at the high major level and is as consistent as they come.

Carr's ability to play on the perimeter is going to be a valuable asset for Mark Pope and pairing him alongside centers Amari Williams and Brandon Garrison. Neither are threats from the wing, so having Carr -- who hit 36 3s last year -- gives Kentucky space offensivley.

He played two years at Wake Forest, averaging 12.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and shooting 34 percent from three.

He scored at least 10 points in 27 of 35 games last year.

“Andrew Carr is the prototypical college and NBA power forward,” Pope said in a statement about Carr's signing. “He’s incredibly skilled and an elite level decision maker. He shoots the ball with terrific range and is a force inside shooting 66 percent on 2-point field goal attempts."
