MCW in at number 15:
15
Michael Carter-Williams
AGE: 22
DOB: 10/10/91
HT: 6-6
WT: 185
POS: PG
PPG: 17.7
APG: 7.3
RPG: 5.8
3-YR WARP: 32.1
Elhassan: The rookie is the latest incarnation of the big, pure point guard, like a cross between Shaun Livingston and Penny Hardaway. Carter-Williams has excellent vision and is a willing passer, and can create space with his explosive first step. Despite starting the season on fire from the perimeter, he's come back down to earth -- fulfilling his predraft scouting profile as a poor shooter.
Thorpe: It's all about shot selection for young players, and considering MCW's size and skill advantages, it is even more imperative he learns this part of the game. He elects to take too many quick jumpers, and on drives he often tries to get the shot off on the run instead of gathering at the end of his drive and simply shooting the short jumper over his typically smaller defender.
Pelton: SCHOENE's five most similar players to Carter-Williams: Hardaway, Baron Davis, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook and Jason Kidd. We might have ranked him too low.
