“It would be a mistake to view Kevin Carr simply as a scorer,” commented Coach John Dyer. “He is a complete player. He has great vision and is an exceptional passer. However, one of best aspects of his game is his defense. Kevin usually defends our opponents’ best player. He is incredibly quick and possesses an intuitive sense where the ball is going to wind up. The result is an amazing number of steals. He’s one of the very best players I have had the pleasure to coach.”
