Penn State’s Tony Carr will join Zion Williamson on Pelicans summer roster

Tony Carr was drafted 51st overall to the New Orleans Pelicans in last year’s NBA Draft. Unfortunately, he failed to sign a contract with them after a shaky NBA Summer League performance.

During his time in Las Vegas last summer, Carr averaged only six points-per-game, 3.4 assists-per-game, and 1.8 rebounds-per-game. As a result, he spent all of this past season playing in Italy, where he won Under-22 MVP.

Carr played 26 games combined in the Italian League for two different teams, Fiat Torino and Red October Cantu. Throughout those games, he averaged 11.7 points-per-game, 4.0 assists-per-game and shot 38.
