Carter-Williams Continues Up-and-Down Tenure with Bucks
In his fourth NBA season, Carter-Williams is coming off the worst season of his career. He averaged 11.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2015-16, losing his starting job on multiple occasions.
The Bucks shipped the former Rookie of the Year to Chicago during the preseason in exchange for forward Tony Snell.
“I think the biggest thing for me is I’ve done some pretty good things in this league,” Carter-Williams said, per Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago. “I’ve shown what I can do in this league. I’ve had some unlucky bumps in the road, traded after winning rookie of the year, going to Milwaukee, which wasn’t the best situation for me.”
Carter-Williams was averaging 20 minutes a night through Chicago's first two games. The Bulls have a glut of guards on their roster, so they shouldn't really miss him much. Isaiah Canaan should see the biggest boost in playing time with Carter-Williams out.
