Bulls Season Rewind 18-19: Wendell Carter Jr.

Bulls fans were excited to see Wendell Carter Jr. take the floor this season after the Bulls took the big man from Duke with the 7th overall pick in the 2018 Draft. Carter Jr., a cerebral big man with solid fundamentals and a knack for defense, quickly flashed his potential this season as he fit into the league right away. At only 19 years old, Carter Jr. wasn’t intimidated by the bright lights of the league, and though he struggled with foul trouble at times during his rookie season he was already garnering respect among his teammates with his heady play.
