It must be an exciting time for the newest members of the Chicago Bulls, as first-round draft picks Wendell Carter Jr. and Chandler Hutchison are getting acclimated to the city.
There was a lot of criticism tossed toward the Bulls’ front office for their safe pick of Carter Jr. out of Duke with the seventh overall pick, but that doesn’t mean fans don’t want to see him and Hutchison succeed in Chicago. They will obviously try to make a name for themselves, as the Bulls continue to rebuild and hopefully they accomplish that.
Until then, it appears that no one will care about double-checking how to spell their names.
Before Tuesday night’s game at Guaranteed Rate Field, the White Sox had the two Bulls’ rookies in attendance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
One problem.
As both players were being introduced, their names were incorrectly spelled on the video board.
Bulls draftees Wendell Carter Jr. and Chandler Hutchison toss out the first pitch before the (delayed) White Sox-Twins game.
Scoreboard had Carter Jr.'s first name misspelled (Wendall). #Imalloverit

C’mon guys!
Yet, it’s something Bulls fans should be used to. Remember last year during the summer league when this happened?

Let’s hope that the Bulls don’t make the same mistake again this year, seeing as the White Sox have already taken the lead in that department.
By the way, anyone else notice this?

Did Wendell need to show his ID to prove who he was? No wonder they didn’t spell his name right.
