NBA Comparison: N/A

Strengths: A very active player who excels in a setting where he is allowed to roam and create opportunities using his length and athleticism … He plays with great energy and has a good feel for the ball, which equates to him being in the right spots when the offense breaks down …  He prefers getting his looks from spotups or cuts around the basket that don’t require him to hold on to the ball for long periods of time … He runs the floor extremely well and thanks to his size and athleticism he can finish the break with some authority … Defensively, he has nice length and good lateral footspeed which make him a good one on one defender as well as a threat in the passing lanes and as a shotblocker. 

Weaknesses: While he is a nice role-player, Carroll lacks the necessary polish and go-to moves to ever become a serious threat on the offensive end … If he is forced to look for his own shot, whether it is in the low or mid post he is just not very comfortable … He needs to add more mass to his frame, as of right now he struggles battling for position against bigger players inside … Has struggled at the foul line throughout his career … He has not shown much in terms of being a shot blocker …
