Big man Wendell Carter Jr. wants to talk position change with the Bulls

NEW YORK – It’s not necessarily a conversation Wendell Carter Jr. wants to have when the season-ending exit meetings go down.

It’s a conversation he feels like he has to have.

Carter grew up playing the four, he played the power forward spot in high school, and he played the four in his one season at Duke, interchanging with then-fellow big man Marvin Bagley III. Yet, since making him the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Bulls have found Carter’s skillset more conducive to be their starting center.

“Absolutely,’’ Carter said to the Sun-Times, when asked if he would talk to his bosses about a possible position change when this regular season comes to an end.
