Personally, i'm stoked, and am excited about the team's future for the first time in a long time.

This may sound crazy but in 3-4 years Carter Williams might be the top NBA PG in the league. He has physical attributes that few PG's have, is a natural playmaker (as opposed to so many of the other young PG's who are natural scorers), is already a pain in the ass on defense and should be in a good situation in Philly with low expectations to start with so unreasonable pressure wont inhibit his growth.

Of course his weaknesses are pretty glaring right now (shooting and turnovers) but those are both things that can be fixed. His numbers are a little deceiving because Philly plays at a breakneck pace but he is a potential star player. He was a steal at the 11th pick. The only caveat is that he is not that young so his improvement curve might not be as steep as a one and done guy but that is nit picking.

The Thunder were absolutely, 100% certain to take him if he were still around a few picks later.
