Shouldn't Booker be on that list? In his 70 point game he scored 51 points in the second half (second only to Wilt's 59 in his 100 pt game), including 16 in the final 2 minutes, but I can't find a real quarter by quarter breakdown of Bookers scoring.

Nope.

Wow Booker with 3 highest scoring quarters in franchise history and is just 22

It's the era in which they play in. It's a set up for offense.

The cliche continues. Aside from that, you don't think the rules n they way the game is called is set up that way? Actually don't bother haha, I haven't the time.

Is he though?

Wilt also averaged almost 8 assists and 24rpgs, while scoring at near 70fg%

He's not Wilt special. There's one part of Wilts game that he's respectable in

No one is Wilt special. This is a completely different league.

Personally give me Bill Russell's special over Wilt's special any day of the week. I would rather have 11 championship rings then 11 scoring titles.

Russell had a way better team though. That Celtics team was stacked...Wilt's Warriors and Sixers teams didn't have much anyone but him. Only when he got to the Lakers near the end of his career were his teammates any good.

Maybe it's just me but rookie FG% record for a 7'1' center doesn't scream amazing to me

It is amazing if he score a lot and in different ways (and not just by dunking).

Don't get me wrong, what he's doing and how he's doing it is nothing to scoff at. But in the grand scheme of things, high efficiency from a C is something you expect, especially from someone who's already that big and athletic and was doing it at the college level.

Yes, just the high % by itself isn't that impressive (but is still impressive if it's highest ever for a rookie) but is really impressive if it is for a guy who scores a lot and is often double and triple teamed. If he was scoring like 8-10 pts a game and had Harden and Paul feeding him it would be a lot less impressive, but with high volume and defense keyed on him and not a great passer setting him up, it's really impressive to me.
