 Dude is long, can dribble, pass, and shoot. As a Warriors fan, I would love to pick him at 30, and make Draymond his mentor. If this kid can slim down another 10-15 pounds, could be a star.

 The biggest difference between Draymond and Robert Carter (and there are many) is that Draymond plays with a toughness, tenacity, and sense of urgency every game.  Although talented, the same cannot be said about Robert Carter. Carter is a good passer out of the post, but Draymond is an excellent passer out of the post, pick and roll, and in transition.  Draymond has legit point forward skills while Carter is a stretch four with some passing and dribbling skills. 

That being said, Carter is a pro and I think he will be successful.  He has range all the way out to the 3 point line at 6’9 250 lbs with a 7’3 wingspan.  Although he doesn’t have good lift, he has great touch around the basket.  If he continues to work on his body and improves his focus in rebounding and on defense, I think he can be a rotation player for a decade.

 Hey Bankroll, thanks for your comment. Toughness is an extremely valuable quality to me, and you couldn’t be more right about Draymond. That is what separates him from other guys who might come along and have similar skills. Draymond’s toughness is second to none.

Good to have that perspective!

I see Paul Milsap when he plays, same nimbleness and skills

 Robert Carter has all the talent in the world with great length, skill, and athletic ability to be a great player.

BUT he is lazy. He sucks at rotating on D, doesnt consistantly box out, and hovers on the perimeter instead of battling down low where he should be. He could be great if he had a better drive…

His legs are also super bowed.

He is a bench player in the nba, sorry

 If you’re right about his motor, then I totally agree. I would not draft a "lazy" guy. But, if his weight has held him back from playing harder, and a team could determine that his heart is actually there, could be worth a flyer.

 

"Lazy" and "soft" are two things I’d avoid in a big at all costs, no matter how skilled they are.

From the comments here, RC is kind of reminding me of a Mo Speights type guy. Very skilled, just too soft and lacks toughness to ever be a great defender.

The Paul Millsap comparison is pretty spot on – more like the Utah Jazz version of Millsap, but still not a bad comp. Millsap has probably a bit more skill, but Carter has a lot of potential

 Don’t see the Millsap comparison at all, not even the Utah version. Millsap was a terrific energy guy in Utah, a rebounding machine and could eat up backup bigs. 

I like the Mo Speights comparison. Skilled big, but always leaves you wanting more. You look at him in warmups and you expect him to dominate…and he didn’t dominate. He was a nice college player but unless he has a "come to jesus" moment and cranks up the motor, I don’t see him being an NBA guy at all.
