Wendell Carter Jr. knows the numbers.
The shot is undoubtedly a bit shaky for the third-year Bulls big man.
The confidence, however, isn’t.
“It’s still great,’’ Carter said in a Zoom call on Tuesday, hours before the team flew to Oklahoma City for their final two preseason games. “My coaching staff is still behind me. They understand that this is a huge change from last year, that they’re relying on me to make my open shots from the three-point line. So my confidence is still high, they’re still backing me up, so I’m good.’’
Backing that isn’t the least bit dented, either.
