Michael Carter-Williams has had many old faces in his young career. After winning Rookie of the Year in 2013-14, MCW’s career has taken a nosedive and has been barely surviving in the league by signing one-year minimum deals to stay in the league. His stop with the Houston Rockets will mark his fifth team in five seasons. MCW is hoping his Houston stop on his NBA tour will be a renaissance for him and hopefully last longer than a season, though he will be a free agent next summer.
There was a lot of surprise when the interest for MCW was reported in the early hours of free agency on July 1.
