What happened: The Los Angeles Lakers officially welcomed Cameron Carr to Los Angeles after acquiring his draft rights. Carr joins the Lakers as part of their 2026 draft class after the team moved up for him on draft night.
Why it matters: Carr gives Los Angeles another young perimeter option entering the 2026-27 season. His arrival continues a recent draft run that also brought in Bronny James, Dalton Knecht and Adou Thiero across the previous two drafts.
By the numbers: Carr was selected No. 24 in the 2026 NBA Draft. At Baylor, he averaged 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 49.4% from the field and 37.4% from three-point range.
What to watch: The next step is the Lakers' formal offseason plan for Carr, including summer-league usage and how quickly he can compete for rotation minutes.
