MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS 6-6, 185 lbs. School: Syracuse Class: Sophomore Selected 11th overall by Philadelphia 76ers STRENGTHS: Carter-Williams is long and athletic and has the potential to be an excellent defensive player in the NBA. He led the ‘Cuse with 2.8 steals per game, and showed an innate ability to anticipate passes on the perimeter.

Carter-Williams shared time at the point and the
