Durant, James and Bird, who performed better in the rookie season?

In the position of small forward, there is no dispute about the three people at the top of the pyramid, namely James, Bird and Durant. They all received much attention before the draft and did not disappoint the outside world after entering the league. Byrd is in the Green Army, Durant is in the Thunder, and James is in the Cavaliers. They all served as team leaders as soon as they debuted and made amazing performances. All three great gods have won the best rookie trophy, which is also the rookie season, Durant, James and Bird, who is stronger? The result is not what I expected.

In the 2007 draft, the Sonics won Durant with the second prize. As a super newcomer who swept the NCAA Awards that year, Durant was second only to Auden. After entering the league, the Sonics took Durant as the core of the team and gave him unlimited firepower. Durant also performed well, averaging 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists and shooting 43%. However, in leading the team, the Sonics only scored 20 wins and 62 losses, even losing 1 1 field more than the previous year.

James was the number one scholar in 2003. As early as in high school, young Zhan showed his talent, which enabled him to beat all the university talents and lock the number one seat in advance. At that time, the Cavaliers were lucky enough to get the first prize. They chose James, hoping that James would lead the team to rise. In order to strengthen James, Davis, who wants to be the boss, was also traded. James' rookie averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per year, and his shooting percentage was 4 1.7%. His leader did a good job, taking the Cavaliers from 65,438+07-65 to 35-47, just one step away from the playoffs.

Let's look at birds again. Bird is also a popular candidate for the first prize, but the cardinal didn't sign the first three, so in order to get Bird. He took advantage of the loopholes in the rules and chose Bird one year in advance (Bird publicly stated that he would finish college before taking part in the draft). Although many teams were dissatisfied with this, the Green Army finally picked Bird who signed on the 6th. In the 79-80 season, Bird officially entered the NBA.

In his rookie season, Bird averaged 2 1.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists. Even his shooting percentage reached 47.4%, and he was directly selected as the best team for a while, and he was already a superstar in the league. Not only that, the previous record of the Green Army was 29 wins and 53 losses. In the first year of Bird's arrival, his record soared to 6 1 win 2 1 loss, becoming the first super team in the league.

Overall, rookie Durant averaged 20+4+2, hit 43% and led the team to 20 wins. Rookie James averaged 20+5+5 per game, hit 42%, and the team won 35 games. Rookie bird averaged 2 1+ 10+4, hit 47%, leading 6 1 win. Obviously, rookie Bird is the strongest, followed by James, and Durant can only be ranked last.
