Aquille Carr (born September 28, 1993) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Baltimore Hawks of the American Basketball Association (ABA). He attended Princeton Day Academy in Lanham, Maryland and was a highly scouted prospect for the 2013 college recruiting class. In January 2012, Carr announced his commitment to the Seton Hall University Pirates men's basketball team for the 2013–14 season. But, on March 17, 2013, he announced that he was skipping college to play overseas.
A native of Baltimore, Carr is known for his small stature, athleticism, and ball-handling abilities. The Washington Post noted that he's "somewhat generously listed at 5 feet 7, in sneakers, including his hair." As a freshman, he led his Patterson High School team to a 76–62 upset victory over No. 5 Digital Harbor with 20 points, 10 assists, and six steals. For the feat, The Baltimore Sun named him its Boys Athlete of the Week on December 23, 2009. The following week, Carr received the honor again after he scored 15 of his 38-points in the fourth quarter against defending Class 2A state champions, Baltimore City College. Filling in as the starting point guard, he helped Patterson defeat Josh Selby-led Lake Clifton with 39 points and 19 assists. In his freshman season, he averaged 25.5 points, 8.0 assists and 5.3 steals.
