In the past couple of seasons, Wendell Carter Jr has become an essential piece of the Orlando Magic ’s offense while also being effective on the defensive end. Carter’s early career as a two-position scorer came in High School when the now 6 '10” athlete was a literal force to be reckoned with.

In his junior year, Carter scored 21.6 points and 13.6 rebounds per game, this time helping his academy bring home the Georgia AA State Championship.

As a Senior, Carter averaged a career-high 22.7 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks a game and helped Pace win the Georgia 3A state championship.

Carter kept his career momentum strong after enrolling at Duke University. In his only season with the Duke Blue Devils, Carter was averaging 13.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, two assists, and 2.1 blocks per contest on an excellent 56% shooting.

That impressive freshman season with Duke helped Carter in being picked 7th overall in the 2018 NBA Draft.
