NBA Mock Draft 2018: Early Projections for Top 10 Picks

6. Wendell Carter, PF/C, Duke


Age: 17 (April 16, 1999)


Size: 6-foot-10, 263 pounds


From a physical standpoint, not many players can match Carter, who combines a 7-foot-5 winspan with grown-man strength. He's fluid enough to be a threat in transition, and his mid-range jumper continues to improve, but he's especially dangerous around the basket, where he can clean up the offensive glass and can finish through all kinds of contact.

His length obviously gives him great potential defensively, but he also benefits from being a high-energy player on that end of the court. (Twitter/SI_NCAABB)
