Overwhelmed Guys Primed to Hit the Rookie Wall: Lillard: 37.3 mpg, Waiters: 32.0, Davis: 28.3, Beal: 27.7, Rivers: 27.7, Barnes: 27.3, Gilchrist: 27.3, Singler: 27.0, Taylor: 24.8, Sved: 24.4, Valunciunas: 24.1, Zeller: 22.3, Crowder: 20.1, Leonard: 19.1, Sullinger: 18.2, Harkless: 17.8, Ezeli: 16.8
Singler isn't really a rookie though since he played 4 years of college and 1 year overseas. I agree that Drummond's conditioning probably isn't good enough to jam him out there for 30+ right away. Maybe we should be forcing all of our draft picks to play a year in Europe. I can't imagine KS playing with this much control if he didn't do that. And I can't imagine him ever breaking into the rotation if he would have had a shaky rookie year.
