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

He's not exactly an all time great yet, and he ended up playing pretty well towards the second half of his rookie season, but Donovan Mitchell had a terrible start to his nba career. Shot 25% from the floor on 10 shots a night his first 5 games, and 38% on 14 shots a night his first 20. Literal black hole.
