Because TorontoDuke requested it, and because I'm in love:
Not many recent videos, but here's some DraftExpress info (including more footage):

6'10" in shoes. 249 pounds. 7'3" wingspan. 9'1" standing reach. Here's what they said about him on June 4th. I disagree with the part about his shotblocking, for the record. He blocked eight shots in the game I watched yesterday.
"A consensus top-10 recruit, Wendell Carter (#5 Scout, #10 ESPN, #8 Rivals, #3 24/7) continues to grow, adding around an inch of height, wingspan and reach since last October according to the measurements, bringing him closer to NBA center dimensions. The same can be said for his basketball ability, as he was an absolute dominant force at times during the training camp this past week. Carter can score with his back to the basket thanks to his ripped 249 pound frame, solid footwork, and nice instincts, using hook shots and powerful explosive finishes, but didn't force the issue much, as he's extremely patient for a player his age. He was a consistent presence on the offensive glass with his near 7-4 wingspan, and defensively, wasn't afraid to throw his body around, even if he isn't much of a shot-blocker at this stage considering his excellent reach."
I wasn't able to find any high school stats for him, except for six games listed by MaxPreps. And those were very rudimentary stats. They didn't seem reliable either. Did he really take 40 threes in six games? That's Steph Curry-level (except that he apparently only made five).
