The Chicago Bulls brought in their first new veteran player of the summer when NBA free agency opened Friday, signing guard Jevon Carter to a three-year deal, according to an ESPN report.
After two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, Carter hit free agency after declining his player option. He reportedly signed a $20 million contract with the Bulls.
Carter, 27, fills a variety of needs facing the Bulls roster this offseason. He’s a consistent contributor — logging 81 games last season — and brings a hardened edge to the perimeter that should mesh quickly with a Bulls defense that finished fifth in the league last year.
Most importantly, Carter could be a game changer as the Bulls attempt to break out of their position as the worst 3-point shooting team in the league. Carter shot 42.1% behind the arc last season and took 4.2 attempts per game off the bench — a number that would have placed him third on the Bulls.
