NBA Summer League hype only exists due to the timing of the tournament. 95% of the interesting free agent signings and trades have already happened, NFL training camp is still weeks away and the MLB All-Star break is about to leave us with three days of zero meaningful baseball.
That leaves sports junkies with nothing but "NBA" basketball comprised of first and second-year players sprinkled in amongst perennial G-leaguers trying to make a name for themselves.
Regardless of how meaningless these games might be, it's the only tape we have of Wendell Carter Jr. playing exclusively against pros, and he's looked pretty darn good.
Through four games, Carter is averaging 16.8 ppg on 63% shooting to go along with 7.8 rebounds and 2.8(!) blocks. The Bulls next game is tomorrow night, and it just might be worth your time
