The point guard position is one of the NBA’s hardest. And it’s even tougher when you are a rookie, and on a rebuilding team, and going against some nasty opponents. Here’s the Philadelphia Inquirer:
Michael Carter-Williams will not get the opportunity to ease his way into the NBA.
In six of the first seven games, the 76ers’ rookie point guard will introduce himself to a Murderers Row of point guards in the league.
He will be matched up against Washington’s John Wall twice, Chicago’s Derrick Rose, Golden State’s Stephen Curry, and twice against Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving.
It’s a brutal challenge that the 6-foot-6, 185-pounder says he welcomes.
“It’s a big learning experience for me to see what I can get better on against the best of the best,” Carter-Williams said.
