It's not a stretch to say that Carr - teammates with freshman guard Tounde Yessoufou, another highly touted prospect - has been Baylor's best player thus far.

Not to mention the Clippers are 6-16 and 13th in the Western Conference, a disastrous start given a welcome respite by Wednesday's blowout victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
