Tony Carr can't hurt the Buckeyes anymore.
After averaging 27.6 points per game in three victories over Ohio State in 2017-18 and leading the Nittany Lions to an NIT title, Carr declared for the 2018 NBA Draft on Monday after two seasons in State College, Pa., with the intent to hire an agent.

Carr was a first team All-Big Ten selection in 2017-18 after leading the Big Ten in scoring through the conclusion of the regular season. He led Penn State to the Big Ten Tournament semifinal game in early March, after the Nittany Lions upset the Buckeyes 69-68 in the quarterfinal round.
In his final game in the blue and white, Carr nearly posted a triple-double, scoring 15 points, dishing out a career-high 14 assists and collecting nine rebounds in a 16-point win over Utah in the NIT championship game. NBADraft.net projects Carr as an early second-round pick.
