The Philadelphia 76ers are in the midst of a rebuilding phase, but a rookie seems to have caught the eye of the NBA. Michael Carter-Williams has taken the league by storm in just one-half season played. In fact, he is slowly becoming the face of 76ers franchise and has been the team’s MVP halfway through the season. He can score. He can pass. He can rebound. He can even defend. Carter-Williams is going to be a household name in Philadelphia for many years and is exactly what the organization was looking for during its rebuilding phase.
