Carl Christopher Landry (born September 19, 1983) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 6'9", all-conference power forward played college basketball for the Purdue Boilermakers from 2004 to 2007. He is the older brother of Marcus Landry.
Landry attended Harold S. Vincent High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he won the Wisconsin Division I state championship in 2000 and 2001. However, Landry did not have much individual success as a high school player as he was cut from his freshman team, barely made the Vincent High junior varsity team as a sophomore, and didn’t see much playing time on varsity as a junior or senior.
Landry started his college career in 2002–03 at Vincennes University, a junior college located in Vincennes, Indiana where the likes of Shawn Marion and Bob McAdoo also played. He averaged 14.7 points and 7.8 rebounds per game as a freshman, but missed half the season due to a broken hand. As a sophomore in 2003–04, he led the Trailblazers with averages of 19.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. He was named a first-team Junior College All-American and the All-Region MVP.
In 2012, he was inducted into the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Hall of Fame, joining his Purdue coach (Gene Keady) as a NJCAA Hall of Fame member.
Landry transferred to Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, Indiana for his junior year in 2004–05, where he led the conference with 18.2 ppg and led the Boilers with 7.1 rpg. He shot 61.8 percent from the field and averaged 30.3 mpg while playing under head coach Gene Keady. His best game of the season came against Michigan State when he scored a season-high 31 points while shooting 11-of-12 from the floor. On the season, he scored in double figures 22 times and recorded six double-doubles. He was named second-team All Big Ten by conference coaches and media despite missing the season's final three games due to an ACL injury in his right knee.
