Cleveland Cavaliers Player Watch: Mo Williams’ Milestones to Look For in 2016-17
4,300th Field Goal
Last year, Williams made 132 field goals, pushing him past the 4,000th field goal milestone to 4,051 total. Over his time in the NBA, Williams has averaged exactly 5.0 field goals per game. So if he can play his career average of 63 games this year, Williams could get 315 more field goals this year. That would give him a total of 4,366, passing the 4,300th field goal mark by just a bit.

In addition, Williams can hit milestones in both three and two point field goals. Williams has a killer mid-range game and currently has 2,957 two pointers. So with less than 50 to 3,000, he’ll likely hit that milestone. To back that up, Williams averages 3.6 two pointers per game, so if he can get that over 63 games, he’ll get 226.8. That puts him comfortably over the 3,000th two-point field goal milestone (and even gets him to the 3,100th milestone).
As for three-pointers, Williams already has over 1,000 in the bank (1,094 specifically). He hit 36 threes last year to put him over that milestone. But with an average of 1.3 threes per game, Williams can get over 80 this year, which would give him over 1,175 threes. So he could easily hit the 1,100th milestone for three pointers.
