Incredible how all the haters in the comments section pounced on this tweet by Magic.
When Kidd came into the league he had no jumper either, but much like a Rajon Rondo, he controlled the game from the pg position. Kidd also had Jamal Mashburn and Jim Jackson to help. Rondo didn't blossom till KG, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen got together on the Celts.
Here's hoping MCW can channel his skills in an effective manner & learn from a PG who mastered the position, not unlike Magic.
If Jason Kidd and Magic Johnson think MCW has the goods to flourish w/ some help, I'll take their opinion over some serial haters on message boards.
I really enjoyed MCW's time with the Sixers. My only question is whether he can consistently withstand the rigors of an NBA schedule. Lotsa injuries and missed games. Obviously hard to know how his health will be moving forward, but perhaps that's one of the reasons Hinkie traded him. Also, apparently he thinks there are upgrades at PG in the draft. He'd better be right. Also, this Canaan guy may not have been just a throw-in. He's probably the Sixers' PG for the rest of the year.
