Michael Carter-Williams, who put his name in the NBA record books in his first game as a pro player, was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for helping to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 3-0 start.
Kevin Love, who in three games has shown how good he can be when he's healthy, has led the Minnesota Timberwolves to an undefeated start as well. He was named the Player of the Week in the Western Conference.
Carter-Williams is only the second player to get this award to begin his rookie season -- with Shaquille O'Neal in 1992 being the first .
Other nominee: Orlando's Arron Afflalo, Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge, Phoenix's Eric Bledsoe, New Orleans' Anthony Davis, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, Indiana's Paul George, Detroit's Greg Monroe, and the L.A. Clippers Chris Paul.
