After trading Jimmy Butler during the 2017 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls spent almost the entire 2017-18 season trying to lose as many games as possible in hopes of getting a top draft pick. They ended up getting the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 draft which they used to select Wendell Carter Jr. from Duke.
Wendell Carter Jr. had a phenomenal freshman year at Duke where he averaged 13.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game on an impressive 56.1 percent shooting from the field and 41.3 percent shooting from 3-point range.
