So out of like the top 50 all time players, who had a rookie season most comparable to a Peyton Manning or a Troy Aikman, where they really struggled and their future almost looked questionable
Alot to mention here, we got nash, we got dirk, even kobe can be on this debate but doesnt matter cause these guys proved in their longevity in the league that they are indeed superstars
Harden.
Not a season per say, but arguably Kobe’s most infamous game was that Disasterpiece with all the airballs.
Steve Nash averaged 3.3/0.7/2.1 on 42.3 FG%
Imagine if he played in this era.
He’d be treated like how Scoot is treated but worse.
Johnny Davis
KD was pretty trash his rookie year compared to his later seasons:
43% FG, 28.8% 3P, 20.3 ppg.
He won ROY but he wasn’t really putting up the monster numbers he’d later put up.
MJ only averaged 28 as a rookie
