PG • 6'5, 190 lbs; 10th year, Syracuse
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: DEFENSIVE-MINDED PG
M-C-W: a 6’5 point guard, Michael Carter-Williams is an interesting study; the 2014 Rookie of the Year, Carter-Williams has ideal size & works hard defensively – takes on the challenge as a perimeter stopper; MCW can also lead the break, though he makes questionable decisions from time to time; much better rim driver than a shooter, improving finisher – needs to continue working on in-between shots/float game, rocky J stands in the way of major minutes; should learn to make plays outta the post, must recognize mismatches for easy buckets; works well between the 1 & 3; landed back w/ Magic (2023) – veteran guard who focuses on providing energy & defense
