The deadline for players to withdraw their name from the NBA draft is on Wednesday, and early on Tuesday, Amari Williams exercised that option. Andrew Carr has now followed suit.
Carr spent the last two seasons with Wake Forest, and was terrific last year. He averaged 13.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game, while shooting 37% from three-point range.

The 6’9″, 210 lb forward committed to Kentucky back on April 28th, but kept his name in the NBA draft to test the waters. It was generally expected that he would return to college, but he made it official with his announcement on Tuesday.
Carr is expected to be one of the key players for the Wildcats this coming season. His ability to play both inside, and at the perimeter on offense makes him especially valuable in coach Mark Pope’s system. With his experience, and his talent, Big Blue Nation is going to enjoy watching him play.
