Joe Barry Carroll(#2)Height: 7-0 Weight: 225 lbs. Position: Center Born: July 24, 1958 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas Age Drafted: 22 College: Purdue University Source: Basketball Reference |
Strengths
Joe Barry Carroll was the top selection of the 1980 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors. He holds the all-time school record at Purdue in rebounds and blocked shots. He also came out the second leading scorer
for his college as well. Joe was a very good inside scorer who played 10 seasons in the pros averaging 17.7ppg and 7.7rpg for his career. He had a career high in points in his 3rd season at 24.1 proving his ability to score in bunches during his early seasons.
Joe was also a very good shot blocker who averaged 1.6 for his career, and averaged 2 a game during his best season in 82-83. He had 3 of his 10 seasons in the top 10 in field goal attempts, proving that he is a volume shooter.
Weaknesses
Carroll was never much of a passer, and was often viewed as a player that didn't care all that much for the game. He was viewed as one of the biggest busts in NBA history even after having a decent career in the NBA. He didn't have a ton of range and his ball handling wasn't outstanding (3 TO per game). He also began later in his career shooting worse and worse every season with attempts further from the basket.
Notes
JBC by all means had a decent career, although not the career of a #1 draft pick in alot of eyes. He still leads Purdue in career blocks and rebounds while being second in scoring.
1987 All Star, 1980-81 All Rookie 1st Team
