ANALYSIS: Wendell Carter Jr. came over to the Orlando Magic in the Nikola Vučević trade last season.

In 22 games with the Magic, Carter Jr. averaged 11.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, .8 steals, .8 blocks in 26.5 minutes per game.

It could be a valuable contract if Carter Jr. can stay on the court and continue to improve.

The 22 year-old played in a career-high 54 games last year.
