I'm confused about the MCW love. Below average shooter (.494 TS%), assist-to-turnover ratio that's barely above 2, good steal rate, takes way too many threes for only hitting 28% of them.
What is there to be confused about? Leads all rookies in points, rebounds, assists and steals. Nearly had a quadruple double in his debut, and has had quite a few amazing games that you normally don't see from rookies. His potential is through the roof if he improves his jumper and addresses a few other things. He's so versatile.
Leading in points on pretty inefficient shooting isn't something to brag about, and leading any of those categories isn't a great accomplishment when this is a **** draft class. I mean, no one besides MCW is averaging more than 4.8 rebounds a game. And assists isn't as important as assist-to-turnover ratio, which is being barely above 2 isn't a great accomplishment.
The steal rate is the only thing that impresses me. If MCW is the best the 2013 draft class has to offer, this is one of the worst draft classes in NBA history.
