Just a simple player comparison

[TheDude1]

Just using simple, simple stats... just for fun.

Same league, same basic competition.

Player A:
19 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block per (set number of minutes) on 42% shooting

Player B:
29 points, 3 assists, 9 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block per (set number of minutes) on 59% shooting

Player C:
21 points, 3 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block per (set number of minutes) on 43% shooting

Player D:
18 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block per (set number of minutes) on 42% shooting.

My first inclination was that Player B is Zion's NBA stats, and the others are the other top candidates for ROY, but Zion isn't averaging 29 is he?

You are on the right track... but think bigger

UNCLE. OFC

Okay.
So sorry, it's not college basketball.

It is their first year (or as much as they've played so far) in the NBA.

In order, players are...

Lebron James
Zion Williamson
Kevin Durant
Kobe Bryant
Anthony Davis

Good company, even if it is a small sample for Zion.

Anyway... we talked about him a ton last year, and he's finally been playing a little this year, so thought I'd share.

Zion's averaging 29 ppg?OFC

All stats are per 36 minutes, since he is playing FAR fewer minutes than the other guys did their first year. Gotta keep the playing field somewhat level, at least when it comes to these simple stats.

Cool stats. Great rookie campaign coming off knee surgery. Going to be a yuuuuuge sophomore season for Zanos.

Zion is unbelievable
