Apparently he hadn't practiced with the team much, so he must've been playing by purely instinct and IQ. But it's positive to see a player who could contribute this much positively in his first real NBA game. I didn't see a lot of rookie mistakes out there, and Billy obviously trusted him enough to play down the stretch + OT. Carter going back in the doghouse after turning down that wide open layup is gonna be the start of Bitim.
I like that he moves around a lot on offense to try to get open. On a couple possessions, you can really see him because he was the only Bull moving around without the basketball lmao. And I thought his defense was better than I originally thought. I don't think he's gonna lock guys down per se (you put him to guard an isolation, he's gonna get cooked), but he seems like a smart enough help defender who understands when to rotate and where he needs to be.
