With the working week winding to an end, let’s check the pulse of all things pinstriped.

It’s taken less than twelve months for Wendell Carter Jr. to cement himself as a pillar of consistency for the Magic. After his stint in Chicago largely fizzled out, the big man found himself tossed into the Vucevic trade, an opportunity he quickly parlayed into a four-year, $50 million contract (fully guaranteed). And while it initially may have been a number that inspired some hesitation – particularly for a side who already had hefty money committed to some pieces battling just to get on the court – it has fast revealed itself to be a relative bargain.
