This week's Fab Five

Here is this week's team of the week.


PG - Michael Carter Williams

 As the 11th selection of the 2013 NBA Draft, Carter-Williams is only the second rookie since Shaquille O'Neal in 1992 to receive the Conference Player of the Week award in their first week. Despite being labelled as a team tanking this season for a lottery pick, Carter-Williams guided the Philadelphia 76ers to a 3-1 record including upset wins over defending champions, the Miami Heat and NBA heavyweights, Chicago Bulls. The Syracuse Orangeman, Carter-WIlliams, averaged 20 points, 7.8 assists, 5 rebounds and 3.3 steals. In his NBA debut against the Heat Carter-Williams recorded 22 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds and nine steals- a record for a debut. Only time will tell if Carter-Williams if this was beginner's luck or if he is the real deal.


 PG - Chris Paul

 Chris Paul was so brilliant he takes the 2nd guard position on this week's Fab Five. Paul has led the Clippers to a 3-1 record with averages of 26.5 points, 13.3 assists and 3.8 steals. After losing their season opener to the lowly LA Lakers, the Clippers won their last three games against Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings and a 137-118 victory vs Houston Rockets.


 SF - Paul George

 The Indiana Pacers remain the only undefeated team with a 3-0 record. The Pacers were defeated by the eventual NBA champions, Miami Heat, in last season's Eastern Conference Finals in seven games. Paul George emerged as a superstar for the Pacers, who many tip to dethrone the Heat this year. George has begun his season right where he left off with averages of 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals.


 PF - Kevin Love

 No one expected the Minnesota Timberwolves to jump to a 3-0 start for the second time in franchise history. Kevin Love was awarded the Western Conference Player of the Week after he powered the Wolves with league-best averages of 29.7 points and 14.7 rebounds. In the season opening 120-115 overtime victory against Orlando Magic, Love recorded 31 points, 17 rebounds and buried the game-tying three-pointer to force overtime.


 C - Anthony Davis

 In his second season, Anthony Davis is delivering on the potential many had envisioned for the rookie coming out Kentucky. Although it is early, Davis looks to have made the jump to superstardom this season. In 3 games for the New Orleans Pelicans, Davis has averaged 23.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 4 blocks.
