Can I get some player comparisons for Micheal Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel???

Greivis Vazquez is a solid MCW comparison, I believe. Great size, great passers, subpar shooters.

Nerlens Noel is pretty unique. I might compare him to a young Theo Ratliff. Undersized shot blockers both.

MCW could be a better Greivis Vasquez because of his Athletic ability. His Ceiling is Quite high if he develops.

Some say he is one of the few of this draft who could be an All Star.

I don’t see any of the same physical attributes between Wall & MCW….

If i had one comparison for MCW, it would be what Shaun Livingston could’ve been.

Noel – Larry Sanders ( remember, he hasn’t hit his ceiling yet ) – Sanders is a 9/9/3 player in his 3rd year and I think Noel can do the same thing. Sanders, and Noel’s other main comparison Tyson Chandler did not take the league by storm, but they were good rebounders and shot blockers right away who, when they started to get used to the NBA game really found a nitch protecting the rim. I think Noel can be a 13-14 ppg 10-11 rpg 3 bpg player in his prime.

MCW – Marco Jaric ( if he hadn’t thrown in the towel after getting a good contract ) – Remember Marco Jaric? 6’7”, long athletic point guard who was a good defender and high volume steals player, a guy who wasn’t the most efficient scorer, but could spread the ball around and drive to the hoop. By his 3rd year he was 10 ppg 6 apg 3 rpg and 1.7, but for some reason rather than excelling in his prime, he took a contract from the T-Wolves and faded into obscurity. Now, I now this is obscure, but every other tall point guard is a worse comparison IMO. Livingston was razzle and dazzle with a Tony Parker-esque stop and pivot post move on his drive, Julyn Stone, well, he’s never going to hit the 100 NBA game mark, and Grevius Vasquez isn’t athletic AT ALL which makes him have a much different playing style than the super athletic Williams. Jaric was big, athletic, liked to drive, wasn’t a great shooter, but could distribute the ball and get in the passing lanes…He’s the best I got. I doubt MCW will take a big contract and hit the road, but if Jaric would have continued to compete, I think he could have been a 14 ppg 7 apg 4 rpg 2 spg guy…I see that for Williams too.

Long story short, Philly got two good prospects, neither I see being stars, but I think in their primes they could start for most teams in the league.

Yeah I’d say somewhere between Greivis Vasquez and what Shaun Livingston’s ceiling was is probably about where MCW will end up. I’ve watched every game that he’s played since he got to Syracuse, and some of his high school games as well. I think he’s going to develop into an above average starter at the PG position.

Rodman’s combination of heart and athleticism will not come with Noel, MCW could put up numbers on a weak 6ers team but his defense and turnover addiction is not too my taste

bro as an Israeli I can say MCW will never defend like that. Noel’s ability to get a steal or two per game is also quite valuable defensively thats where I could see the Sanders thing

Michael Carter Williams bestcase maybe poor mans Baron Davis? Athlitc bigs pgs (Baron Davis maybe not height wise but was a burly pg) that play out of control. Good exciting passers that can fill the stat sheet.

Nerlens Noel Larry Sanders.

I actually think that Philly is going to give MCW minutes so his first year stats will probably be good and bad. He will probably average a lot of assists and points while committing a lot of turnovers so judging him by his stats would be wrong because when he gets betters his stats may actually decrease while his deficiency increases. Think about who else does Philly have. I don’t believe they plan to be good this year. Moving Holiday meant they prepared for tanking but if by some chance MCW develops into a stud that is icing on the cake.

Also in the way the NBA game now a healthy Theo Ratliff would be a top 5 pick. Theo put up numbers when they actually had more big men that wanted to be big men. Now Ratliff would get pick and rolls for offense and also his defense would make him a top 5 center since there are not a lot of stand out centers and Ratliff averaged 3 or more blocks while also getting points and rebounds. His health hurt his overall stats because he had some monster games but could stay consistent due to injuries.

Michael Carter Williams – Michael Ray Richardson without the ability to attack the basket (and also hopefully without the cocaine addiction)

Both tall, long point guards who can pass, defend, and get lots of steals but aren’t good shooters.

Nerlens Noel – Marcus Camby with better passing ability

Tall, long and lean with terrific shot-blocking and defensive potential. He can also get steals and has very good mobility for a big man although he will never have much mass or upper body strength.

I would compare Nerlens Noel to a poor man’s Bill Russell. Maybe a homeless man’s version but whatever. Noel is long,
fluid, and an uncanny shot blocker. He will help you win games with D, shot blocking, and rebounding. Will never be a great shooter.

If MCW works on his shot I could see him being like Brian Shaw. Shaw was a 6’6 point guard who could handle some, pass, lead, and score a bit.
Not the best athlete but a solid player. Shaw was a winner and really developed that 3 point shot. He helped the Lakers win some rings and threw some alley oops to Shaq. That would be a comparison on the low side if MCW develops a 3 point shot. For an upside comparison I would say Fat Lever but I never saw him play.

Here Are 2 Great Player Comparisions for Nerlens Noel…LMAO

I’m surprised nobody compared Noel to Marcus Camby, at least young Camby and obviously as a ceiling. Very similar bodies and athleticism, defensive minded bigs without back to the basket moves. Camby could hit mid range jumpers occasionally, something that Noel can’t do at all and coming into the league Camby was more developed as a basketball player, had a better understanding of the game, especially on D (he wasn’t just a run-jump block first defender, had good awareness and position). Anyways, I think Noel might learn some of these things and still there are so many similarities in their games and, obviously, it’s just impossible to find two identical players.

It’s much harder to find a good comparison for MCW because players with his characteristics are rare in the Nba (tall, athletic, pass first PGs that can’t shoot), while there have been many of them in college basketball didn’t made it to the Nba. Jaric might be not that bad, but he wasn’t a pure, natural PG like MCW, he came in the Nba as a player without a true position, he played some point in Italy because of team needs but he was mostly a wing, then in the Nba Clippers moved him to the point because he had some skills as a playmaker and was bad playing off the ball.

i like the marco jaric comparison. at first i was thinking alvin williams of toronto, but that point used his strength advantage over other point guards apart from his size. but he was good tall point guard who dint have a great outside shot but knew how to run a team offensively and be a solid defensively player.

I’ve had a terribly tough time coming up with solid comparisons for both of these players. The skinnier Tyson Chandler comparison for Noel makes sense to me. I can’t even come up with a good one for MCW though and none of the ones I saw suggested on here really stuck out to me. Maybe the non-black hole, slightly shorter, natural Point Guard version of Tyreke Evans? Idk just throwing it out there.

MCW is the next Penny Hardaway.

Noels athleticism makes him an extremely rare prospect. He’s quicker and much more explosive then Camby and Noah and believe it or not has more offensive potential then both. Even tho Camby and Noah were better shooters Noah is a much better finisher inside and plays way more aggressive with the ball. Noels has more offensive potential then people realize.
