The fifth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, Felton averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.45 steals in 11 games, while shooting .457 (16-35) from three-point range and .857 (30-35) from the free throw line.

Felton is the second player in franchise history to win NBA Rookie of the Month honors, joining Emeka Okafor, who won the award three times last season en route to capturing the NBA Rookie of the Year award.

The 6-1, 198-pound guard posted a single-game rookie scoring high of 31 points at Phoenix on February 25 and recorded two other 20-plus scoring games against Seattle and Atlanta. In addition, he reached double-figure scoring in nine of the 11 games he played and posted two double-doubles (points/assists).

“I’m in the situation now where I’m comfortable with the offense, comfortable with everybody out there and comfortable with what I can bring to the team,” said Felton. “I’m definitely much better than my first game of the season. It’s a learning process. I’m getting a lot of minutes now and getting the opportunity to be out there and do a lot of things. You’re going to get better.”

Currently, Felton ranks fourth among NBA rookies in scoring (9.7), third in assists (4.7) and second in steals (1.21). He is one of only two rookies to rank in the Top 5 in all three categories (also Chris Paul).
