Which Bears will get drafted and potential UDFAs

Redshirt sophomore sensation Cameron Carr spent just one season in Waco, but Carr was the engine that kept Baylor's offense moving. He will hear his name called in Round 1 on Tuesday night, an the only question that remains is if Carr can slip into the lottery.
Carr, who averaged 18.9 points per game and 5.8 rebounds, along with shooting nearly 38% from three, erupted in the NBA Combine and was arguably the biggest winner of the event. Carr's 7-foot wingspan helps, and his ability to knock down contested shots bodes well for his NBA career. After scoring 30 points during a Combine scrimmage, Carr is right on the bubble of being selected in the lottery.
As far as other Bears being selected — well, that's probably not happening in a two-round draft. Obi Agbim, Dan Skillings, Caden Powell, and Michael Rataj are all eligible, but there's a slim to no chance that they hear their names called. Rataj was the most likely player to get selected when he transferred to Baylor, after starring at Oregon State, but things didn't go well for Rataj during his one-year stay with the Bears.
It's possible two or three of the players above are signed to a Summer League roster following the draft, but they would have to really show out in order to make a roster next season.
Live draft picks and reaction
Cameron Carr - No. 24 to the Los Angeles Lakers (Reported trade with the New York Knicks)
Following his insane Combine where he scored 30 points, Cameron Carr was viewed as a potential lottery selection. The Chicago Bulls was the team that was expected to take Carr at No. 15, but the one-year Baylor Bear fell down the board.
However, Carr became a first-round pick and will now head to the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers, who got the pick from the New York Knicks. Carr will potentially team-up with LeBron James if he chooses to return to Los Angeles, and Luke Dončić will be with the Lakers.
