Carter-Williams' Defense Helps Magic Beat Hawks | Orlando Magic
ORLANDO - Prior to Sunday’s game, Magic head coach Steve Clifford stated that Michael Carter-Williams, whom Orlando signed to a 10-day contract on Friday, is one of the best perimeter defenders he’s ever coached, grading his on the ball and pick-and-roll defense an “8 ½ or 9.” In his 16 minutes of action against the Hawks, the 27-year-old looked like just that, an elite wing defender whose length and instincts creates chaos for opponents.
