Had all the tools to be a great point guard, and a great rookie season although on a bad team. Then injuries for the most part got the best of him. Did you think MCW was going to be great after his rookie year?

He won Rookie of the year....but never really improved...he had the breakout game against the Super Heat...that was really the highlight of his career

Victor Oladipo wasn’t a bust. When healthy we seen what he can do in Indiana. Injuries played a factor and imo injuries shouldn’t make you a bust

KCP wasn’t a bust, he actually meet his draft scouting reports exactly. “If he can demonstrate efficiency early on in his career, he will be an ultra-useful role player-one who can stretch the floor and help his squad whenever he enters the game.” Bleacher report

My lasting memory of MCW...I had the Bucks game on, while they were warming up and the camera was focused on him...my mom walked in, stared for a minute, then was like "He looks like a BABY!" 🤣

Bruh MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS is a definition of ONE SEASON WONDER

I was a teen when MCW won rookie of the year and I never understood the drop off thanks for the breakdown 👍

Would love to see one of these on fellow draft class guard Shabazz Mohammed. He was hyped coming out of HS.

I appreciate how all these videos are created very respectfully. Too many people are comfortable talking about these players like they aren't humans and I really respect the way that you do it. But I'd like to see Andrew Bynum

All he needed was a jumper and he would be a good pg right now. Maybe not starting but definitely getting mins

Do one for Patrick McCaw, as what Jerry West said, “teams will be sorry they didn’t take him.”

One of my fave pgs ever when he was like that

I was LITERALLY just thinking of him yesterday

I remember going to Sixers games during the days MCW played there. Tickets were dirt cheap. The Sixers basically gave up on him because he wasn't a star player who could turn the franchise around. Then MCW production and ability to stay healthy declined.

Always loved his craftiness and defensive potential. Just felt like he don’t have the shot and athleticism to keep him in the league. Maybe with different development he coulda made it. Was for sure one of my favorite college guards tho at Syracuse

Please do michael dickerson !!!! Early 2000's grizzlies please dude jus left the league after showing he can average 20+ points

MCW is the greatest example of why counting stats mean very little without context. It's not about if you can average 20, it's about how you average it. Efficiency is the name of the game.

I know Mikey since he was like 11-12 years old his dad was my high school coach I seen him literally put in work everyday he’s def underrated but he accomplished a lot not to many can say they did like rookie of the year ncaa championship I’m proud of his career and many accomplishments look out for his lil bro tho he played at creighton university last name zegroski look him up bro

I would love to see a “stunted growth” on Joe Alexander. He was the 8th overall pick in the 2008 draft and had a busted two(2) year NBA career. Milwaukee didn’t even pick up his 3rd year option on his rookie contract. And he got cut from every other NBA team he got signed to after. But those WVU teams with him and Kevin Pittsnogle were super exciting. Kevin Pittsnogle is another player I’d like to see a video on. I think Joe Alexander was born in China but was Israeli(from what I remember). I know he went on to win acouple championships for Israeli in a Euroleague. Should be a interesting story.

Another great vid, breakdown, and subject. MCW, in his first year, kind of reminded me of a more athletic Brian Shaw. If he developed and had the career length of Shaw, he would have really been something.

I got a good one. Justin Jackson I’ve noticed has stuck around the league. Never gets too much playing time but still manages to stick around. Do something on him! Also keep doing what you bro love it.

He was just at the perfect place at the perfect time

If Shaun Livingston made a career out of reinventing himself MCW has no excuses.

What A Debut Boy Had Against The Defending Miami Heat Too.

I didn’t know that Jason Kid is top ten in 3s made. Thanks JC!

Otto Porter is a finesser, look at how he defended.

It’s like back in the days when hype was a thing, and yes I’m talking about those days around the Jordan era....

It took Jason Kidd a long time to become Jason Kidd. The dude couldn't shoot when he got into the league, and that includes free throws. It took Nash a long time to become Nash as well. But both of those dudes took the time to improve their game deficiencies to become HoFers

Tyler Ennis would be a good video, 1st round pick. Bounced around couple teams, he was nice at Syracuse

I would watch him in college and some games he would play like the best player in the ncaa and other games he would look average. With ups & downs like that I didn't expect a lot from him in the league

Would want to see one on Rakeem Christmas

5:24 yo my boi Otto porter was definitely kicking it with J.R Smith before that game 😂

KCP isn’t a bust he just needs the right sets to maximize his strengths

If you haven’t done Shabazz Napier can you do one 🙏

Michael Carter Williams definitely had us fooled...thought he had the skills be the best point guard in the East eventually You should do one on Josh Childress next. He was nice at Stanford, & was doing his thing in the NBA, and then just left for the Euro game and was never the same when he returned smh

Greatest nba debut of all time

Can you do a Stunted Growth on Anthony Roberson from the 2004 Florida Gators team

I thought he was gonna be pretty good for da Rockets but they didnt keep him long at all

Thanks for the shout out my guy!

I remember he really fell off year 2, can’t shoot and yet he was looking for his own. No chemistry with Noel who played much better with Ish Smith after MCW was traded.

Bro had so much potential and he was so good in college

Have you done one on Scottie Reynolds. Only player ever to win player of the year and not be drafted to the NBA. Also, Malcolm Delaney guard for Vtech in the mid 00s

Can you do Quincy Lewis that played for Minnesota in college? I thought he would have a good NBA career.

Former UNC player James McAdoo would be a good video for Stunted Growth

Do Daniel Horton, he was a freshman of the year at Michigan 2002, also a McDonald's All American..

That Syracuse zone with him was amazing

You can also do Brandon Jennings

Crazy I just typed in MCW stunted growth the other day wondering what happend to him

I live in Syracuse. We knew he wasn't good enough. Same with Johnny Flynn. It's amazing NBA scouts don't watch the college games before paying them so much.

His first game was electric tbh as a sixers fan during that time

Need a Trey Burke SG, please. Dude was supposed to be CP3ish out of Michigan, got screwed in Utah, but then wasn't competitive enuf to fight the stigmas. Did he blow his energies on getting to the league and had nothing left once he got there??

If you want a laugh, search Michael Carter Williams missed layup compilation 😂

I was waiting for this one!!!

Can you do Dennis "3D" Scott , Mike Miller or Reece Gaines

We need one on Lester Earl or Tony Cole

You gotta do a stunted growth on Kurt hinrich please

Can u do Chris Douglass Roberts or Joey Dorsey ?

I remember wanting my sixers to take Giannis... And I was right. Yes I called it a decade ago.

That Otto porter clip was fucking hilarious 😂😂😂😅 my guy ain’t that bad he played great with the warriors

Remember crossing paths with MCW at a few house parties back in High school... couldn't have had more than A couple conversations with him but the vibe I got just being around him those days was that he felt he had it made already as a sophomore. He thrived in college and came out hungry his rookie year. Not sure what happened after that. This should be a great video to find out

He would be perfect for the Lakers. We need another playmaker and lengthy defender. He would be perfect for 10-15 minutes off the bench.

This dude grew up five minutes from me and is a few years younger. I literally cannot understand how he had it by the balls winning ROY and then just choked it away.

I understand its WAY MORE COMPLICATED than *get more shots up in the offseason* but its crazy to think he could of literally been an all star level player if he was able to develop an average maybe even below average shot

Please do Charles Smith from the Knicks and Ed O'Bannon from the Nets

Ill still take these numbers over Ben Simmons

Otto Porter still guarding that invisible person!!!

Giannis and Vince Carter's son in the same class. That is a master class of picks, and they both played on the same team.

I always thought he had Good form but his jump shot just wouldn’t fall consistently enough

I knew exactly where this was going when you said he couldn't shoot..😢

I remember when he went off against the big 3 and started getting hyped off and then disappeared

Andre Barrett, Allen Griffin, and Omar Cook. These guys in Nyc I grew up watchin them grad to seton hall, su and st johns when i was comin up. They were great... The were stunted...

This guy was so good his rookie year, I have no idea that he was going to drop off so fast. I guess it's easier to put up numbers when you're on a bad team.

I can still remember this guy rookie yr, he had a triple double against my boy lebron team heat and I thought he was gon take off until injuries derailed him.

I was a huge fan of him to the point of I got him the MVP in NBA 2k19 lol

Very interesting story, to me it shows that padding stats for a disfunctional and tanking team is one thing but being the lasting PG of a winning franchise is a totally different world

You didn’t have to roast the man’s shooting like that.

Just happy cuse got him back then. He was a good one. Never forget cuse absolutely stifling #1 seed Indiana in the tournament. They looked beyond confused.

Greg Oden would've been the best center in thelate 2000s early 2010s ... People forgot about him though

Do Donte Exum next

Met him in LA during his early years in the league great guy

That video you found of Otto Porter was rude as shit lol... I'm dying lol....

DO ROY HIBBERT NEXT!

@ 5:22 Otto Porter comment & clip. 🤣🤣🤣💀💀

In that 2013 draft, 13 teams passed on Giannis. Wow.

We traded buddy at the right time🤣

Can you do Sylven Landesberg?

Nahhhh son .. why porter ain’t even see dude JOG BY? 😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

great video but why is the quality so low?

I got a feeling a Ben Simmons video is coming up real soon

He was Ben Simmons before Ben sim😮

Injuries are impossible to predict

Dude could’ve been a Shaun Livingston type role player if he stopped shooting threes

Comparing this dude to Jason Kidd is like comparing horse manure to ice cream. Kidd's weakness was his 3 point shot but he worked on it in his 2yrs at Cal & throughout the NBA

Khalid el amin if you haven't done him already

That might be a little bit tuff comparison to Jason Kidd. He grew into his game. He definitely was worthy and a great cuse gaurd. 🍊. Also, jkidd could get up and dunk early in his career dont forget.

Was waiting for this one ain’t goin lie I really liked his game. Just couldn’t shoot at all

Johnny Flynn next?

JKidd's BBall IQ too hard for most to replicate.

Marcus Keene next 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Would be a solid bench player he can score and get boards Overseas is a solid option to ay and make a bag still
