1. Michael Carter-Williams
2. Victor Oladipo
3. Trey Burke

Player FG% 3P% FT% TRB AST STL PTS
Trey Burke .378 .334 .893 2.9 5.6 0.6 12.4
Michael Carter-Williams .403 .256 .702 6.1 6.3 1.9 16.7
Victor Oladipo .419 .320 .782 4.2 4.2 1.6 14.0

It’s been a very impressive season for Carter-Williams even though the 76ers almost made history by having the longest losing streak in NBA history. As a rookie, he averages the most rebounds per game for any point guard in the league and he had two triple-doubles. MCW leads all rookies in points, rebounds, assists, steals and double-doubles.

Oladipo and Burke were second and third in scoring among all rookies, respectively. Oladipo is turning out to be a solid pick for Magic GM Rob Hennigan and you can expect an increased role for him with the franchise next season. Burke has struggled with consistency but he still has upside, unlike Anthony Bennett, which the Jazz will value going forward.
