2. Wendell Carter Jr. (Chicago Bulls):

2018 NBA Summer League - Las Vegas - Atlanta Hawks v Chicago Bulls
Wendell Carter Jr.

The Bulls center turned heads with his play in Las Vegas. He was considered a safe or high-floor selection, with the Bulls taking him at the #7 position in the 2018 draft. But he has outshined every other big man drafted ahead of him, and he looks like a steal at No. 7 overall.

Carter's ability to space the floor, beat a switch in the post, play out of short rolls, facilitate, rebound and protect the rim were all on display. Carter has gotten himself into outstanding shape, and he was far better switching onto the perimeter than expected. Carter showed the kind of NBA-ready skill set that his believers touted before the draft.
