Wendell Carter Jr. drawing rave reviews for Summer League play

Wendell Carter Jr. was the last of the five big men selected in the lottery of the 2018 NBA Draft, and some Bulls fans were concerned that his choice was too safe and lacking in upside for a team that could use high-upside talent.

It’s only Summer League, but Carter has taken Las Vegas by storm and has arguably been the best of those five bigs so far this summer. Through four games, he’s averaging 16.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks while shooting a scorching 63 percent from the field. He has shown versatility and poise on both ends of the floor, with the ability to play inside and out.
