But after spending time with four different teams to start his career, Carter finally found his way back home to Chicago in free agency this offseason, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicago-agrees-to-contract-with-former-bucks-guard-that-will-excite-demar-derozan" rel="noopener">landing with the Bulls</a> on a 3-year, $20 million dollar contract.</p><p>Carter, 27, grew up in Chicago as a diehard Bulls fan and has been <a href="https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/nba/chicago-bulls/how-bulls-jevon-carter-plans-to-make-on-off-court-impact/495141/" rel="noopener">waiting for this moment</a> for as long as he can remember, via KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago.</p><p>“I can’t even really put it in words, to be honest. Anytime I dreamed about going to the NBA as a kid, it was always in a Chicago Bulls uniform,” Carter said. “So getting that call and hearing, ‘Congratulations, you’re going to be a Chicago Bull,’ like, I don’t even know what to say.

Carter’s defensive prowess is his main calling card, and in combination with Alex Caruso (and perhaps Lonzo Ball <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicago-applies-injury-exception-due-lonzo-balls-status-2023-24" rel="noopener">somewhere down the line</a>), the Bulls can regularly trot out one of the best defensive backcourts in the league.
