Article makes a case for and against the top 10 rookie candidates. Insider article, so I will only state the MCW part:

4. Michael Carter-Williams | PG | Philadelphia 76ers
The case for Carter-Williams: Elite athletic ability and size? Check. He has special physical attributes that few point guards in the league possess. Good feel for the game? Check. He can be a little wild and careless, but he does show special court vision. Opportunity? Major check. He should get a Lillard-esque number of minutes in Philly on what will likely be the worst team in the league.
The case against Carter-Williams: He isn't as mature as the three players ranked ahead of him. He can be mistake-prone, and his jump shot still is a major work in progress. Will voters punish him if the Sixers win just 12 games this season?
