Wendell Carter Jr.'s uptick in 3-point attempts is good for Bulls offense

At long last, it's happening. What fans and pundits (and perhaps Bulls players) alike have long clamored for.

"Wendell Carter, the 3-point shooter!" Zach LaVine bellowed through the Bulls locker room after their 116-81 waxing of the Atlanta Hawks.

That might be an exaggeration. But Carter did sink two longballs on the night, just his fourth and fifth of the season. Carter, famously, shot 41.3% from 3-point range in his one season at Duke, and much has been made of the doors adding that shot to his offensive arsenal could open.

"Yeah, of course I do," Carter said with a smile when asked if he liked taking 3s.
