per Marcus:
After removing his name from the early entry list for the NBA draft on July 31, Carr stayed in Canada to train while most of the Gophers showed up for voluntary workouts in Minnesota. He made progress while remaining safe from the coronavirus at home.
“Definitely felt more comfortable to be where I was at,” Carr told the Star Tribune recently. “Usually we’re all here obviously together in the summertime. That helps with the team doing workouts and building chemistry. But being back here now I still think we’re going to be able to do that.”
Carr’s first workout with the 2020-21 Gophers came after he arrived and cleared COVID-19 protocol two weeks ago. Coaches and teammates immediately saw a different player, especially physically.
The 6-2, 195-pound Carr has a much leaner frame. His movements are quicker, with even more pop to what was an already lethal first step. He’s more athletic off the floor, easily finishing above the rim.
“Just tried to get into the best shape I could,” Carr said. “Just having a bigger focus on what I’m eating. Being conscious about what I’m putting into my body every day. And how that affects me. Bigger emphasis on sleep, resting and recovery. And just working hard on all those things together really helped me to make those improvements this summer.”

Gophers guard Marcus Carr leaner, quicker after offseason workouts in Toronto
The point guard hopes to play well enough to be a first-round draft pick.

When we get Gach eligible, it is clearly Richard’s best team on paper. Hopefully, Carr is coachable and not solely focused on his own plan to improve his NBA status.
