    MCW with the behind the back to Hawes for the clutch shot. This is a fun team.

    Very Chris Paul-esque.

    They're definitely my second favorite team. No question.

    Paul wasn't that good this early. It's really amazing.

    How could so many teams have been so wrong about Michael Carter- Williams?

    Someone laughed at me for saying Philly was good.

    Beating Miami and Chicago really shut them up. :)

    Pretty bad really. Way worse than Lillard cause Lillard was 6th. In this draft, 5 more teams passed on him.

    He looks good but lets wait a little bit before crowning him the best rookie since Oscar. He has looked good but he is also shooting really really well for a guy who is supposed to be unable to shoot (.48% FG and .50% from 3). Rookies and players who have gotten little to no run and are suddenly in the starting lineup can take teams by surprise because there is no or little video of them for defenses to analyzes. Once teams have videos of him we will really see how good this kid is.

    Impressive few games but I think he will come back down to earth and end up being Tyreke 2.0 which isn't a bad thing by any means.

    If I were a Sixers fan I'd be super excited by this kid. And in a couple of months as reality kicks in I would be very nostalgic for that excitement.

    No question MCW is better than a lot of people thought. But is he as good as he's looking right now? Almost certainly not. This is Carter-Williamsanity!

    I think his percentages will come down and he will end up shooting around .400, but his passing skills are legit, he's an 8ish assist guy imo

    Well ya know when Brandon was a rookie many people thought he would hit the rookie wall and his percentages would go down to.
