Last 5 games for MCW: 19.6 / 12.2 assists and 9.0 reb.
One Philly article said that not since Magic's 5 game stretch in 1991 has anyone done such a level of near triple doubles. I'm not sure if this is or isn't accurate.
More importantly, Philly has been propelled by Carter Williams to a nice stretch of winning 2 of 3 games. This is all without the services of Tony Wrotten. Can the two co-exist?
Yes, Philly will continue to lose many more games, but slowly, I predict that by year end, the core of MCW, Noel, KJ Mcdaniels(surprise RoY candidate) will show us that they are filled with promise.
Another top draft pick in the 2015 off season, and then perhaps the best player in the loaded 2014 Draft class will join us in summer league, Joel Embiid.

Is he still shooting something like 36% from the field?

He's shooting 43%. Still pretty bad, but not Rubio-tier.

Overall, on the year, he is still shooting 38%, and herein lies Philly's problem. Can you win at the highest level with a PG who shoots like that? He can finish in the paint with above average athleticism, but wide open 3s are a problem.
I don't know what his shooting is over the last 5 games though. Let me check and possibly get back to you on that.

comon 43% is decent, at least it doesnt warrant a rubio comparison

It's 38% though, but you can't compare him to Rubio since Ricky can't finish in the paint and is not very athletic.

Imagine MCW playing with Embiid, a more mature Noel, and some real shooters? How many more assists would he average then if he can average 12 apg on a team filled with D-leaguers?
Also, MCW's poorer play early on had a lot to do with missing time from the shoulder surgery he got during the off season. When he returned, he played alongside Wrotten which was a major adjustment for him playing with a not bashful scorer in Tony.
Here's a report about the two and some highlights from MCW below:

You can't be too hard on him there. His coach was trying to lose and encouraged bad shooting.

Plus he turned his team around with his play. That's never empty.

MCW is a straight up baller. Too bad people won't care for like 3-5 more years.

Re: Last 5 games for MCW: 19.6 / 12.2 assists and 9.0 reb.
MCW is the real deal. You don't put up a near quadruple double on your debut without being a stud.
Give him another year or two and he'll be a complete monster. Did we mention the guy has not 1, but 2 legit ROY's on the same team?
Noel and Embiid will round this out nicely!

Exactly.
When people use stats as a be all, end all, absolute number and say Player A is a superstar with great stats while playing on a bad team, then yes, the "empty stats" argument can be used.
But when you are using nice and somewhat imposing stats for a poor developing team, then yes , stats can be an indication of a player's talent and skill level. These stats cannot be used to say he will be or is a superstar until his team is a consistent winning team, the objective of the game of basketball.
I don't want to derail my own thread, but case in point: Kevin Love.
