Scouting report

+ Athletic, high-energy combo forward. Quick but not a leaper.

+ Limited offensive skills. Doesn?t draw fouls. Useful in presses and traps.

Analysis

Carroll shocked the masses by making six 3-pointers in limited late-season duty with Utah, but look at the season as a whole and it?s the same story -- he can?t shoot. Carroll tried 54 2-point shots outside the basket area last season and only made 19 of them. On the plus side, he made the first six 3s of his career on 18 attempts, which offers at least a glimmer of hope. But overall, that?s still terrible.

What he did do was score just enough to make it somewhat plausible to keep him on the court for his energy and defense. That?s particularly true if the set-shot 3 he?s working on can find the net every so often, making him more viable as a small forward. Otherwise Carroll is more of an 11th-man type (at best) -- useful as a power forward in small, trapping, pressing lineups but little else. We?ll see if his brief burst of shooting competence carries over into 2012-13. I wouldn?t count on it.
