WENDELL CARTER JR. (ORL)

STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: SKILLED, TWO-WAY PIVOT

Wendell Carter Jr. is a highly skilled big w/ versatile tendencies; does damage in lots of different areas: Wendell's offense is just as promising as his activity and versatility on defense; covers a ton of ground defensively, able to switch out & contain quicker opponents; excellent anticipation: great shot blocker w/ the ability to start breaks after gaining possession; raw, yet multi-dimensional scorer: WCJ can hit dribble pull-ups, convert short hooks & jumpers; has recently extended his outside game: decent form, needs more reps to build confidence; very much in control on the floor, doesn’t force the issue much (should be more aggressive looking for his shot); must cut down on fouling; finishes pretty strong off roll catches these days; crashes glass, leverages body well for boards; needs to continue developing faceup attack; great fit w/ Magic*: WCJ has unlocked all aspects of his game - one of the most underrated bigs in the entire Association
