No not really...
MHL is just another name for Slimport. And it depends a lot on device support, many older devices have a true Mini HDMI port while newer models add slimport support to their USB port that can be plugged into a TV with the proper Slimport adapter.

i meant if phone already support MHL
I use Xperia Z1, its rooted and now it support screen mirroring but MHL is lagless, perfect for playing games especially if you have wireless game controller

Doesn't change the answer as far as the CCast is concerned....
the USB port is really only used for Powering the device under stock conditions and while I assume it might be possible to add MHL support to a Custom rom for Rooted units at this point none of that exists.

CCast is not really a display adapter it is a media device that is more like a browser on a stick.
Once booted the CCast can only communicate and get data via WiFi and thats where the lag comes from.

That said games written specifically for the CCast work differently as the game runs natively on the CCast and you control it via wireless which reduces the lag since very little bandwidth is needed and all the data intensive work is done on the device where WiFi and latency can't affect it.

But so far most games for CCast are very rudimentary I think your looking or Graphic intensive games that normally play on the mobile device...
I think the best you will from those types regarding CCast support is a Observer view where some can watch the action happening on the mobile device but where delay and lag doesn't affect the player.

You are better off and pretty much resigned to using cables for true live update.
