Joe Barry Carroll (born July 24, 1958 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas) is a retired American professional basketball player who spent ten seasons in the NBA. A 7'0" center who starred at Purdue University, he holds the all-time school records for career and single-season rebounds (1148 and 352, respectively). Carroll was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the first overall pick of the 1980 NBA Draft. Many have labeled Carroll as one of the biggest busts in NBA Draft history, giving him the nickname "Joe Barely Cares" for his perceived indifference to the game.[1] A great deal of Carroll's negative press, however, can reasonably be attributed by the fact that he often declined interviews and the fact that the Warriors traded Robert Parish and the draft choice used to select Kevin McHale to the Boston Celtics for the first overall picked used to select Carroll, both of whom turned in Hall of Fame careers for the Celtics and who both were named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary Team; it is doubtful Carroll's career would have been favorably compared to them had he been a preeminent superstar. The center is one of the standard positions in a regulation basketball game. ...

He averaged 18.9 points and 9.3 rebounds as a rookie and two seasons later averaged a career high 24.1 points to go along with 8.7 rebounds.
