(Daniel Shirey-USA TODAY Sports)
Michael Carter-Williams

– good rebounder, especially offensively
– fantastic playmaker & passer

– stays out of foul trouble
The Bad:
– a year older than most other sophomores
– didn't play a big role his freshman year – only his sophomore one
– needs to get physically stronger
– not much of a scorer
– shoots for a horrible %
– mediocre free throw shooter
– inefficient scorer
– no range on his jumper
