It was the very first possession of the very first game of Michael Carter-Williams’ 10-day contract with the Orlando Magic.
That was how long it took for Carter-Williams to show his value and win over some skeptics (well…me, at least).
When the Magic first signed Carter-Williams, a former Rookie of the Year turned 27-year old journeyman with no outside shot, it was met with mixed emotions. One OPP commenter went as far as to say that Jerian Grant is the only player who could make signing Michael Carter-Williams seem like a good idea.
That idea, based on MCW’s first impression (though still in the far-too-soon reactionary period), now seems somewhat better than originally thought.
