4. Wendell Carter Jr.

Wendell Carter Jr. didn’t do a whole lot during his rookie season for Chicago. He played in a mere 44 games and averaged 10.3 points and seven rebounds per game. So yeah, it’s safe to say Wendell wasn’t stuffing the stat sheet in 2018-19.

Carter’s overall lack of production doesn’t make him a less intriguing League Pass prospect, though. He’s wildly talented on the defensive end of the floor and has a really nice feel for the game. He’s an absolute joy to watch.

One thing Wendell does outstandingly well for a youngster is meet opposing players at the rim. What’s better than seeing a young big man rise up and reject a dunk attempt from one of the league’s best and most violent dunkers?

As Wendell’s scoring ability improves, so will his League Pass intrigue. For now, he sits at no. 4 on my list.
