Wendell Carter is your Early EYBL Atlanta MVP

It was a slow start for most of Calipari’s recruits, until Wendell Carter took the court. The 6’10” center scored 30 points on 13-17 shooting. He pulled in 16 rebounds and blocked 3 shots in a one-point win.

Even more impressively, he did it all against DeAndre Ayton, the 7-foot #1 player in America. Carter, the #4 player in the 247 Composite Rankings, has impressed scouts as of late, dropping some pounds and bringing more energy to the table. That paid off defensively, holding Ayton to only 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Those who love to follow recruiting know him well, but the casual fan is familiar with his recruitment because he’s choosing between Kentucky, Duke and Harvard.
