It certainly was a toss up. I disregarded Trey Burke’s injury and said he was going to get it.
But there’s no denying that Michael Carter-Williams has been the most consistent.
Sure his team stunk up the joint all season but there’s no doubt Michael Carter-Williams will be a great guard in this league.
Third rookie to lead all rookies in scoring, rebounding and assists. (Oscar Robertson and Alvin Adams were the other two)
16.7 PPG, 6.3 APG and 6.2 RPG in his ROY winning season.
That stat line also puts him as the 3rd player to get 16 PPG, 6.0 RPG and 6.0 APG in his rookie season. (Oscar and Magic)
So what’s the ceiling for MCW? Well when you’re considerably taller than most PG’s that can be an advantage if he knows how to use it. And if Philly gets better the assists and points will be bound to rise, it’s up to Philly to build around him and Thad Young.
