So out of like the top 50 all time players, who had a rookie season most comparable to a Peyton Manning or a Troy Aikman, where they really struggled and their future almost looked questionable

Steve Nash’s rookie year:

  • 65 games (10.5 mpg)

  • 3.3 ppg

  • 1 rpg

  • 2.1 apg

Playing behind JKidd and Kevin Johnson. Both a brutal and good situation for him. Brutal in the sense that his minutes were severely limited. Good in the sense that he had two very talented mentors.

It’s impressive he even manages to get on the court given his situation.

Kidd and KJ both went on the record to say that Nash killed it in practice everytime. It was not an ideal situation because the Suns had playoff aspirations the time.

I think Sam Cassell was on that team as well.
