1. Michael Carter-Williams, Philadelphia 76ers

2013-14 stats: 20.7 ppg, 9 apg, 4.7 rpg, 4.3 stl

I’m not going to lie, I love those small sample stats above. MCW has taken the league by storm. He has, to the dismay of GM Sam Hinkie, led the tanking Philly squad to a 3-0 record to start the year, as the Sixers and the Indiana Pacers remain the only undefeated teams in the Eastern Conference.

Philly beat the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls. MCW’s debut against the Heat was certainly one of the best rookie debuts of all-time, as he dropped the following statline: 22 points, 12 assists, nine steals and seven rebounds. A very clear No. 1 at the top of the rookie ladder for week one.
