Michael Carter-Williams is the complete basketball player. He can score. He can rebound. He can pass. He can defend. This season MCW is averaging 17.6 points, 7.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds and a league-leading three steals per game. His ability to excel in all facets of the game is something we have not seen in a very long time and his ability to do so will surely keep Williams in the league for many years to come. As a rookie he has been put into a situation where he is one of the leaders on a 76ers team that is struggling to find their identity. Although he MCW is just a rookie, the sky is the limit for this young man, who at this point, is almost a 100 percent lock for Rookie of the Year. Do not continue to sleep of MC Dubs.
