Truth or Dare (MCW/Sixers) Edition

I would say Wroten is probably more skilled or at least equally skilled in terms of actual passing ability.  But he doesn’t know how to manage a game at all.  He’s kind of like Brandon Knight in the sense that he’s seemingly always trying to go 100 MPH on the court.  He’s pretty much always in attack mode, which has its value, but at the same time, there are times throughout games where you have to slow things down and try to calm everyone down, get a good shot, take some time off the clock, etc.  The 76ers as a team don’t have all that much experience with slowing things down in late game scenarios simply because they generally aren’t in games by the end lol, but there’s still times throughout every game that you want your PG to be able to slow things down and try to set things up to get a good shot.

Wroten doesn’t really run a team offense.  He doesn’t really let the game come to him.  He’s just always attacking and trying to create plays for himself or his teammates.  That’s why I think he can be a tremendous spark plug off the bench.

But to be a full-time PG, you need to be able to play the role of floor general sometimes.  MCW showed a knack for that at Syracuse and did it at times for Philly last year.  He can get out of control sometimes too, but he also generally has done a pretty good job of remaining calm and being able to initiate an actual team offense.  That’s not to say that he’s ALWAYS in control or that he doesn’t take bad shots, because he definitely does from time to time.  But I think MCW has more of a PG’s presence on the floor, especially as a rookie last year, whereas Wroten, IMO, is just very good at attacking the defense and making things happen.
