How good is Michael Carter Williams?

[Random_Guy]

Admittedly Ive never watched the 76ers play (probably wont in the short run lol), can any fans chime in. Yeah the sixers are on a historical losing streak, but in some games theyve actually been able to keep it close, and MCW has been putting up numbers. Most here would probably be inclined to point out that its because he is on a bad team, but triple doubles and multiple double-doubles isnt just something you can do when you are not a good player.

76ers fans?

Its stupid to give players credit because they produce numbers yet their team is losing.

So what are they suppose to do, not put up numbers?

No, but for example despite putting up gaudy stats he's nowhere near the level of a Damian Lillard or Kyle Lowry.

He could be a good PG on a good team, but not as a 1st option (like he is right now).

[strifed169]

He's got the ultimate green light on the shittiest team in the league, yet he has a per of 10, he's trash and any other PG would most likely avg better numbers in his spot.

The Kevin Love of PG's

[Random_Guy]

he is currently putting up
15.6/6.8/5.9
decent numbers all around, its not as if he is only scoring though?
Those are decent numbers

Havent seen anyone even compare those guys to him

He's scoring at sub-Rubio levels of inefficiency however, while at least Rubio is an elite passer to make up for his shooting.

I'm not directly comparing the two, nor should I because I haven't watched much of MCW at all this year..but look at Brandon Knight's stats:

17/5/6/1 on 56% TS. Quality stats, along with a +.500 record, that would lead the casual fan to believe he's just under all-star level, a very very good player in the league

And yet he's one of the worst starting point guards in the league. Just a disaster when it comes to playing like a true floor general, making people around him better, doing what his job entails. Holds back the offensive potential of virtually everyone on the team, but most obnoxiously, the prospects and young guys whose numbers/production don't match their ability because of Knight. Plays the most minutes on the team but the offense is 14.3 points worse with him on the floor, defensive impact is pretty much negligible, etc. Just one of the prime examples of box score stats going against everything that is obvious through the eye test.

Again I'm not directly comparing him to MCW in any what whatsoever..just saying stats are meaningless without context and the eye test.

[Im so nba'd out]

He just plays for stats fk him everyone on the team is picking up bad habits because of our stupid ass gm doing this tanking shit that has NEVER EVER WORKED WITHOUT ALREADY HAVING A GOOD TEAM

uhm maybe because his teams arent of the same caliber an hes also only in his 2nd year.

He's taking bad shots most of the time because his teammates are inept and he's forced to shoot before the clock runs out.
