Michael-Carter Williams is 22 lbs. less than average, so he has a slight build. He is well below average in reach and wingspan, but is an explosive leaper. His No Step vertical is nearly 3" more than average, and max vertical is 10" more than his NSV. I haven't calculated the average Max Vertical, but my suspicion is that he would be as much as 6" greater than average. In total he can raech to almost 12' He has average speed and very good agility. | ||||||||

Absolute Worst Case | D.J. Strawberry | 13% | |
Michael Carter-Williams has 3 really good best case comps, in Brandon Roy, Brent Barry, and Jrue Holiday. Unfortunately there is only an 11% probability that will get to that level. He most likely case comps are pretty run of the mill, all were starters at one point in their career, but none would be considered much above league average at their peak. The likely worst case comps is a long list of guys who barely made it 3 years, and the best of the lot was Tate George. Considering that Michael Carter-Williams has a 53% probability of being in his worst case group, then somewhere between Tate George, Corey Brewer, and Alvin Williams is what one should expect. | |||

For his first 3 years in the league Michael Carter-Williams projects as a decidedly below average NBA player. In his 3rd year he comes in at average to a little below average. His 3rd year per of 15.45 is slightly above average, and is driven a high usage rate (21.6%) and assist rate (26.6%), as he is a below average shooter (50.3% TS%). All of that leads to a pedestrian 105.2 Ortg. Defensively he grades out at 103.2 which is above average for a PG. He looks like a better than average rebounder for his position, and will get a fair number of steals. Overall I would rate him a higher risk prospect, but he should turn out to be an OK NBA player. He is clearly not a lottery pick talent, and should slide into the early 20's. He is no question a better prospect than Shabazz Muhammad. | |||||||||||||||
