I heard from an acquaintance that Philadelphia 76ers rookie PG
1 Michael Carter-Williams G 6-6 185 10/10/1991 Syracuse/USA R
is creating a sensation,and that it is a quite surprise, his doing SO well.
A pure PG that has a potential to be the Next Penny Hardaway, should check him out.
Funny, for a sport that's pretty much decided by physical talent, there are quite a lot of surprises concerning new players, always has been. Even more so than Tennis, for example.
It's pretty rare for a relatively unknown junior player to achieve star status in college tennis.
For example Sabrina Santamaria, Pre-season(this year) #1 and recent NIIC semi finalist(her first), wasn't even the top dog in California in her senior year, that honor goes probably to Monica Turewicz, Ojai winner and IW PQ finalist(even defeated Schnack, if I remember correctly, then lost to Hardebeck in the final). That year, the #1 was Trice Capra or Robin Anderson. Granted both of these super stars have done well, but the upsurge of Sabrina is surprising and uplifting; it's also probably the triumph of USC tennis program.
