GIF: MCW picks up the steal, throws down furious two-handed slam

Much has been said about the Milwaukee Bucks' struggles since trading for Michael Carter-Williams. 

It's tempting to link their struggles to Carter-Williams. That tends to happen when a team goes 4-13 since trading a promising guard in Brandon Knight for a question mark in MCW.

It's not to say that Carter-Williams should be absolved of any fault. The adjustment period has been rough and the 23-year-old is averaging just 13.8 points and 5.4 assists on 40 percent shooting and 11.8 percent from deep.

But that overlooks some of Carter-Williams's virtues. He's a rangy defender, blessed with quick hands and athleticism. Although his jumpshot has yet to come around, he's fits the Bucks' mold of long-armed, defense-first style to a tee.

Here's a snippet of Carter-Williams at his best. He jumps to grab a steal against an unsuspecting player, before throwing down a two-handed jam.
