Bulls’ Wendell Carter Jr. turning the Summer League into his own block party

Wendell Carter Jr. is displaying pure dominance in just two NBA Summer League games.

The seventh overall pick of this year’s NBA draft had quite a debut in a Bulls uniform Saturday.

Carter Jr. posted 16 points, nine rebounds, five blocks, two steals, and hit two three-pointers in the Bulls’ 86-81 win over the Cavaliers.

He followed that up with another stuffed stat sheet Sunday against the Lakers, tallying nine points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots.

Coming into the draft, Carter Jr. was known as an excellent rim protector in his one season with Duke, and he’s shown that in two summer league games, combining for nine blocked shots.
