Chicago Bulls: Wendell Carter Jr. taking the next step

The Chicago Bulls picked Carter with the seventh pick in last years draft. At 6’10 with an enormous 7-foot-4 wing span, he was drafted as a big man who could defend, shoot and play out in the open floor. Carter played the first half of last year, averaging 25 minutes a night while posting a stat line of ten points, seven rebounds and 1.3 blocks. In the 44 games Carter played, he showed flashes of the potential that many saw in his one year at Duke university.

Built for greatness

Carter’s imposing physical gifts combined with a high basketball IQ makes him a potential Bulls cornerstone of the future.
