There may have been better debuts in a Bulls uniform than Wendell Carter Jr., who Saturday put up 16 points, nine rebounds, five blocks, two steals and hit two of three on 3-pointers in the Bulls 86-81 Summer League victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But it’s difficult to think of many.
Bulls management may want to stay in Las Vegas the way they are getting jackpots with 7s, last year with Lauri Markkanen No. 7 in the NBA draft as part of the Jimmy Butler trade, and this year at No. 7 Carter Jr., who was arguably the most impressive rookie player in this opening weekend of the summer games.
