After an eye-popping NBA Las Vegas Summer League performance, Chicago Bulls fans were boarding the Wendell Carter Jr. hype train in droves.
The hype around Carter Jr. isn’t reserved for Bulls fans though. NBA.com just published the results of its seventh-annual ‘Rookie Survey,’ and the Bulls new do it all big man garnered high praise from his peers. Specifically, for a question asking which rookie will have the best career, Carter Jr. came out on top with 13 percent of the vote.
Interestingly enough, Carter was rated decidedly worse in NBA Rookie of the Year predictions, in the “others receiving votes” category with at least eight guys receiving more votes than him.
