The streets of Chicago will be busy with Wildcats over the next week.
Kentucky’s Andrew Carr has received an invitation to the 2025 NBA G League Elite Camp, according to the league’s website. The 6-foot-11, 235-pound stretch forward will join a couple of his UK teammates from May 9-11 in Chicago, as Lamont Butler and Amari Williams have also received invites to the event. Kentucky’s incoming transfer guard Jaland Lowe (Pitt) will join them, as well.
The G League Elite Camp precedes the NBA Draft Combine, also held in Chicago from May 11-18, where players will have a chance to prove themselves in front of NBA personnel and potentially secure a spot in the actual Combine. Kentucky’s Otega Oweh and Koby Brea have already been invited to participate in the Combine.
During his lone season with the ‘Cats, Carr averaged 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 24 minutes per game. The fifth-year senior, who dealt with a back injury for a good chunk of the season, started 29 of his 35 games played while shooting 54.5 percent from the field, 32.4 percent from deep, and 74.8 percent from the free throw line.
Carr began his college career at Delaware (2020-22) before transferring to Wake Forest (2022-24). His overall numbers dipped a bit at Kentucky, in large part due to back spasms he suffered during the middle of the season that impacted his play for several weeks and even made him miss a game. But overall, he was a highly important piece in Mark Pope‘s first season as head coach. Carr will long be remembered by the Big Blue Nation as someone who made big shots against great teams in crunch time.
The hope for Carr at the G League Elite Camp is to perform well enough that he secures a spot in the NBA Draft Combine, which begins Sunday. While he’s not listed on any NBA Mock Drafts, Carr is ranked No. 97 in ESPN’s latest NBA Draft Big Board. The 2025 NBA Draft is set for June 25-26 in Brooklyn, NY.
