@AdamZagoria: Carter-Williams leads all rookies in points (17.5), assists (6.7), rebounds (5.7), and steals (2.5) per game

i hate being the contrarian here (this time, anyway), but i hope people are ok with his numbers backing off as he gets more talent around him. i hope folks are smart enough not to use his stats as a ridiculous benchmark for him to build from. after this year, the metric will (should) be wins.

I remember his sophmore year come early december alot of people were saying how dare you crown him as the next magic johnson,

Don't make me go Soupy Campbell on you.

Imagine if they got Wiggins . . . if any NBA team was going to try to play zone as more than an occassional defense in the NBA, it would be a team with a 6-6 and 6-8 set of long armed guards

Not to mention Noel is a perfect 5 man for a 2-3 which was why I was so sad to see him go elsewhere.

Hopefully his assists will get a bump with more talent around him.

That one still doesn't hurt me like Stevens nailing lindros coming over the middle. But either way, knock it off!

Saw a stat that he leads all rookies in points, assists, steals and rebounds. Kind of insane to think about.

And he didn't go to Kentucky.

I really liken his game to Magic. I'm not saying he's going to have that type of career but the things he does and mannerisms/style just remind me of Magic.

You too? He has reminded me of Magic too, the hunched over, heads up, lanky, no-look pass, Magic.

Even before that

How 'bout a Marcus Smart or even McDermott as a backcourt mate? Wiggins ain't doing anything for me. 8th man off an NBA bench.

The only thing that would legit go down would be the points. No reason the assists wouldn't go up and rebounds stay close.

He's the new Rondo

Oh, every Philly fan is perfectly aware of this! This is the first year i've kept up with the Sixers in forever and it's to confirm that they lost that night. when they win, especially on a night when milwaukee wins, that's a major fail.

Eh, no worries - there will be lots of "injuries" as the season progresses to make sure the Sixers don't win too many games.

Not necessarily. If wiggins or Parker, the ball could flow through them. The less he handles, the fewer assists he may get. Agree on rebounds. Either way, just dreaming at this point.
