You never know. With what I see from Towns, he might be the best rookie big since Duncan. Could even have a better rookie year than Duncan had. As I said inthe other thread, Towns looks like am all time great possibility to me
Duncan averaged 21/12 with 2.5 blocks per game and was All-NBA 1st team his rookie year. And the Spurs won 56 games on top of that. You really think Towns could have a better rookie year than he did?
If you want to talk about rookie bigs since then: Elton Brand also put up 20/10, Pau averaged 18/9 with over 2 blocks a game, Griffin averaged 23/12. Anthony Davis was also very good as a rookie, he averaged 14/8 and nearly 2 blocks a game while playing less than 30 minutes. Per 36 he was averaging 17/10 with 2.2 blocks a game.
