The Lakers acquired Cameron Carr in a draft-night trade with the New York Knicks on Tuesday. The Knicks had selected the 6-foot-5 guard 24th overall before sending him to Los Angeles in exchange for cash considerations.
The Lakers then selected guard Sergio De Larrea from Spain with the 25th pick and immediately traded him to the Knicks along with cash. Lakers officials had scouted De Larrea during a recent trip to Spain.
Carr averaged 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game at Baylor last season while shooting 49.4 percent from the field and 37.4 percent from three-point range. The team cited a need for athletic wing players ahead of a possible nine free agents this offseason.
Lakers president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka nor Carr spoke with media after the selections because the NBA had not yet made the trade official. Carr was present at Barclays Center but did not address reporters.
