TL;DR: pretty good but he's not without flaws that could limit his value.

Do you expect Carroll can play along side Poeltl?

Good,cheap value

Do you expect Carroll can play along side Poeltl?

Yeah, Carroll can play PF next to Poeltl at C. He could also play PF next to Aldridge at C, IMO.

Do you see Pop starting him or having him come off the bench?

Far from the 3 and D player he was 5 years ago, but as Rudy Gay insurance, it's an okay move.

[GAustex]

He will eat minutes and not suck
Hopefully

[baseline bum]

Wow, got him a lot cheaper than I was expecting.

[timvp]

Do you see Pop starting him or having him come off the bench?

My guess is he'd come off the bench to begin the season. If the fifth starter (Poeltl? Bertans? Gay?) falters, then Carroll would get a chance.

Logically, I think Carroll makes sense as a starter. Shoots enough threes at a good enough percentage to spread the court. Big enough that he should be able to survive against any starting power forward. His quickness and tenacity would also help cover some of the holes created by DeRozan's inconsistent (to put it nicely) defense.

He's ranked in the 70s on nba2k.. So I guess he's OK coming off the bench...

I think DeMarre Carroll is the best player in the history of professional (or non-professional) basketball.

What the is, we take all the crappy former raptor players? First DeMar and now this?

Ugh hate this

Scrub, more trash on this roster. We're circling the drain for a first round out. Enjoy boys. DeMarre Caroll and the rest of these scrub ass players.

[mo7888]

The big question here is, are we done? Will be be active on the trade market now?

For the money it’s a good signing tbh. I just hope poop doesn’t feed him too many minutes to the detriment of our young guys fwiw....

gOOD SIGNING

[Gordy58]

Dude averaged 11 points per game and shot decently from three. Great signing considering what was available, surprised we couldn’t get Aminu though.

[Marcus Bryant]

Good signing, type of forward you need with the guard rotation who can slide to the 4 for three guard lineups with DeRozan. Contract is reasonable and length fits the timetable.

[ceperez]

For $6m... It's a good deal.
