mayne get the fuk outta here. Everybody has flaws their rookie season. Nobody is at their prime in their rookie season. And he was a fukin lil kid when he put up that 20, so fall back wit the hate youngin

Not young :ufdup:

KD had a ho-hum (good) rookie year breh. He scored, but the hype for him (as a pro) didnt really take off till the 2nd half of his 2nd year.

As I said, Tyreke Evans put up 20/5/5 with an 18 PER and people weren't ready to crown him either.


Revisionist history brehs.

To be honest look at Jahlil Okafor. You could make a argument he's one of the NBA's best Power Forwards.

It's Blake if you don't care about the fact that he was one of those 2nd year rookies.

If you do, then it's either Lillard or Rose. Probably give the nod to Rose because they went to the Playoffs and had that magical first game.

fam are you feeling okay. Those numbers are impressive for a veteran let alone a 19 year old one and done straight from college rookie. Secondly KD had a huge fan base when he came to the league, n*gga had all of Texas plus more. That's what the thread is about. KD was that n*gga in college and he was that n*gga when he came to the league.

tyreke Evans was nice his rookie year but he didn't have the fan base KD had and he fell off anyway. Compare KD and Lebron.

Lebron was that n*gga, he had empty stats too if you wanna go that direction cause them n*ggaz ain't even make the playoffs. So again please tell me how the fuk your arguing with me over this

Edit: n I'm not done with the ether. AI ain't even make the playoffs his rookie year. This n*gga talmbout empty stats, if you don't get that shyt outta here mayne

KD's rookie season was quiet in comparison to LeBron, Wade, Melo :yeshrug:

Maybe because he was in Seattle. But nobody really talked about him like that.

Agree to disagree breh. :manny:

I hope your joking cause right now your on my shyt list for people who don't know shyt about basketball
KD was forcefed his rookie year and it cost them every game he was on the floor. A lot of the NBA was skeptical on the guy in his rookie year. I think his PER was barely above 15 if I remember right.

Wade was just another athletic combo guard with no range

both guys were 'aite' if we're talking about 'great' rookies in comparison. nobody is touching robinson's rookie year. lets stop fronting like these dudes came into the league as all-stars
