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

Nash was so freaking fast with the ball when he’d get a chance to play, but a little sloppy. I remember wishing that he would get more minutes because he seemed like he had a lot of potential, and he was really fun to watch. Flash-forward and he’s better than both of the guys he backed up. Crazy.

I know Nash has 2 MVP’s but honestly I would take JKidd in his prime over Nash if I were to choose my starting PG between the two

Disagree… Nash was a much better scorer and a better passer. Kidd was a much better defender but at the point guard spot I’d rather have the 50/40/90 shooter than the better defender
