Andrew Carr will sign Exhibit 10 contract with Portland Trail Blazers

After not being selected in the 2025 NBA Draft, Andrew Carr has found his next destination.

Following the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft on Thursday night in Brooklyn, NY, it was reported by ESPN’s Jonathan Givony that Carr will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Portland Trail Blazers. He joins fellow former Wildcat Shaedon Sharpe out west.

If you’re unaware, and Exhibit 10 contract is one-year, non-guaranteed minimum salary deal. This type of deal allows teams to bring players in for the Summer League so that they can compete for a spot on a roster, typically in the G-League. If a player spends at least 60 days with a team’s G-League affiliate, then there’s an option for them to earn a $75,000 bonus. Then, the contract can become a two-way contract, then a standard minimum deal following that.

Basically, this contract serves as Carr’s path to the G-League before he can hopefully find himself on an NBA roster down the line.

In his lone season in Lexington, the 6-foot-11 forward averaged 10.3 points per game on 54.4% shooting from the field and 74.8% shooting from the charity stripe. He also notched 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Despite dealing with a lingering back injury all year, Carr often came up clutch when Kentucky needed him the most.

Against the 13-0 Florida Gators, the No. 6 team in the country at the time and eventual National Champions, Carr put up 14 points — his sixth-consecutive game in double figures — knocking down the dagger three from the corner that gave the Cats one of their program-record seven top 15 wins on the season.

Before his time at Kentucky, he spent two seasons at Delaware and two seasons at Wake Forest. In 2022, Carr was named to the 2022 CAA All-Tournament team, leading the Fightin’ Blue Hens to a conference tournament title over UNC Wilmington.

At Wake Forest, Carr’s role expanded further, and so did his range. There, he became the prolific stretch big that we know of today. He averaged 12.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. On top that, he recorded 1.2 blocks per game as a Demon Deacon, showing off some of his defensive prowess too.

On3 had Carr ranked as the 73rd-best transfer last offseason, and he ended up being a steal for Mark Pope and Kentucky. His ability to stretch the floor offensively and guard multiple positions on the other end of the floor will allow him to have a real shot at making an NBA roster.
