Carr is not Healthy

[FtWorthCat]

He is obviously having major back issues. Nelson versus Carr should have been about an even matchup going by their averages. It's not really one-on-one like that, but the statistical discrepancy between those two players decided the game yesterday. I've noticed Carr pushing instead of moving his feet a lot the last couple of games on rebounding/defense. Hope he gets some rest/treatment this week, because we need him at 100%.

I respect his desire to want to play. He couldn't though. Not sure how serious it is, but Coach Pope might have to sit him some if necessary.

I know Garrison spells Williams but I would start him I. Place of Carr if it comes to that. He is hitting 3s now. Would help stretch the defense.

Funny we were all worried about Butler but Carrs injury obviously more serious . He had trouble moving and prob was the difference in this game .. imo both teams are very evenly matched , Alabama has more explosive athletes though . They are very good

I’m glad Almonor is at least functional as a backup and at times looks pretty good. Coach is going to have to get real creative if Carr isn’t available.

Andrew Carr + back issues = Grant Nelson looks like Super Saiyan Cooper Flagg

If Carr can’t go at all, I wouldn’t mind seeing Noah steal some minutes at the 4 in a small ball lineup.

I think he could give us something similar to what Perry is giving us at backup point. Probably get torched on D, but he’ll bang the open 3 and will at least fight for rebounds.

I’m wondering if he should be given 2 weeks off, no activity other than walking to class.
I did something to my back (muscular) 6/7 years ago and it took me 3 months to recover. I couldn’t sit for more than 30min without a lot of pain. But I’m sure he’s getting a lot better treatment than I did.

Smh. Nelson is far more athletic than Carr and would dominate almost anytime he wants to. Alabama is a guard led offense and focuses on that, Nelson is a beast when they ask him to be. The tournament last year wasn't luck. They changed a few things up and went to him more and he was almost unstoppable

This is when you take a flyer on a development piece at forward and guard. Insurance policy for injuries. Uber athletic and or brute strength preferably with developing skills.

I’d say it’s imperative.
