Kareem
Russell
Robinson
Duncan
Shaq
Wilt
Oscar
Luka
Hakeem
What I saw from Wade by the end of his 2nd year would have me vote him, as well.
This list could be longer or shortened with more clarity on how he handles the toughest environments but these are the guys who I would pick at the moment.

He's up there, especially in the postseason. Similar tier to Wemby in my opinion.

Underrated shout out to Grant Hill. 2nd team all NBA in 95-96’.

West wouldn't have been a West all-star this year, never mind an all-nba teamer.

clearly better maybe holy trinity with wilt,russell and captain kareem but wembys impact is on that level plus his not too shabby and improving offense.insane package.

Did you purposely exclude West or forgot, or just feel he in his 2nd season falls short of those 3 aforementioned players' 2nd seasons?

Magic? Though he missed most his second season, he was FMVP as a rookie

Cool. I feel the same way. West would make a heck of a 6th man today though.

Yes, I do think he's weaker 2nd year player than Oscar, Russell and Wilt.
