As a Heat fan I remember this game like it was yesterday. Thought for sure he was destined for greatness :lol:


His entire rookie season impressive - averaged 17, 6 and 6 with 2 steals and won rookie of the year.


MCW was a 22 year old rookie who averaged 17/6/6 on 41/26/70 and averaged 3.5 tpg.

He wasn't doing anything particularly different from what 20 year old Tony Wrotten did per minute that same season, 13/3/3 on 43/21/64 with 2.8 tov in 24.5 mpg (18/4/5 on 43/29/55 as a starter).

It was just volume high usage on a trash team, and when you're an older rookie, it's less impressive.
