Just sayin'
Thats true, I was just going off of memory. But you can put Wade at 16/5/4 if you round his 4.5 assists a game up to 5.
Anyways, we've had just 4 rookies put up 20 ppg seasons in the past decade.
The decade before, we had 7.
And the decade before that, we had 12.
Move that number to 18 and you add just 2 to the list in the past decade for just 6.
The decade before, we had 18, and the decade before that, 17.
A lot of that has to do with less NBA-ready players coming to the NBA, a lot of HS players until a few years ago and a lot coming to the NBA just after one year.
