"The most impressive part of Michael Carter-Williams’ game thus far this season has been his versatility.
Yes, his shooting his been pleasantly surprising,
especially from long-range where many expected him to have extreme struggles, but
his calling card has been that versatility. The kid is a walking triple-double
waiting to happen. He has yet to record an actual triple-double, despite being
a single steal shy in his first game, but the multi-tool talent is there.
There has long been talk of a man of many talents, a
la LeBron, averaging a triple-double throughout the course of an entire season;
Carter-Williams is the type of player that could come close.
Carter-Williams has already demonstrated that there
are four major statistical categories that he could push to double digits on a
given night, and as his familiarity with the NBA game increases, so too should
his numbers.
Carter-Williams is averaging 17 points, 7.6 assists,
5.4 rebounds, and 2.6 steals per game so far this season (through 8 games). While
that is an exceptionally small sample size, there is no reason to think that
with some in-game experience and the addition of some more talented teammates that
those numbers can’t increase to the tune of 18, 10, and 8 per; an amazing stat
line if sustained.
“The hyphen,” as he has come to be called, has the
skill set to be a triple-double threat every time he steps out on the court. In
fact, aspects of his game are reminiscent of the ultimate triple-double threat;
Jason Kidd.

Like Kidd, Carter-Williams has exceptional size at
the point guard position, and uses it to his advantage. With his size, MC-W can
see over defenders to make pinpoint passes and get rebounds over smaller
guards. He can also control a game without scoring, something Kidd was the king
of.
If Carter-Williams’ shot isn’t falling (as will likely be a common occurrence until he develops some shot consistency), he can contribute by hitting the glass, setting up his teammates, and securing steals.
If Carter-Williams’ shot isn’t falling (as will likely be a common occurrence until he develops some shot consistency), he can contribute by hitting the glass, setting up his teammates, and securing steals.
It is this
resourcefulness that makes Carter-Williams a threat out on the court, not
simply his scoring.
Kidd didn’t always win games for his teams by piling in the
points, but any GM in the league will tell you how much preparation playing
against Kidd required.
Kidd compiled over 100 triple-doubles throughout his
career, and while that is a lofty expectation to place on a kid after only a handful
of professional games, Carter-Williams’ numbers thus far look extremely similar
to Kidd’s numbers from his rookie year.
Jason
Kidd
(1994-95): 33.8 MPG/.385% FG/11.7 PTS/7.7 AST/5.4 REB/1.9 STL
Carter-Williams
(2013): 36.6 MPG/.389% FG/17.4 PTS/7.6 AST/5.4 REB/2.6 STL
Their field goal percentage, assists, and rebounds
per game are almost identical, while Carter-Williams has the edge in minutes,
points, and steals, per. While Carter-Williams stats are from a small sample
size, and he must continue his production throughout the course of the season,
some similarities are apparent. Kidd was named Rookie of the Year on the back
of that stat line, and if Carter-Williams can keep up his current level of
production, he might have that in common with Kidd as well.
Kidd’s improved shooting percentage (.400 for his
career after .385 in his rookie season) is a good sign for Carter-Williams,
whose own percentage will likely increase when he improves his shot selection.
However, like Kidd, it seems that Carter-Williams’ best asset isn’t his
scoring, but rather his ability to impact and control a game in several ways."
