Michael Carter-Williams is coming off a year where he appeared in four games for the Orlando Magic.

The veteran point guard averaged 4.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest while shooting 42.9% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range.

This summer, Carter-Williams became a free agent, and he is currently available to be signed by any team in the league.

Carter-Williams was initially the 11th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers out of Syracuse and won the Rookie of The Year Award in 2014.

That season, he averaged 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per contest while shooting 40.5% from the field and 26.4% from the three-point range in 70 games.

In addition to the 76ers and Magic, the 31-year-old has also played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets over nine seasons.

Carter-Williams also had a solid tenure with the Bucks, who he played 79 games with and averaged 12.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals contest (he also helped them make the NBA playoffs in 2015).

Carter-Williams has solid career averages of 10.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 40.2% from the field and 25.6% from the three-point range in 395 regular season games (he has also appeared in 16 NBA playoff games).

While he never became an All-Star, Carter-Williams is a solid veteran who could be a good signing for many teams around the league.
