Pretty ridiculous what this kid is doing at 20 years old...where does his season rank among the best rookie seasons ever? Off the top of my head:

MJ
Wilt
D-Rob
Shaq
Duncan
Kareem
Hakeem
Bird
Magic

Anyone else I'm forgetting? I know Blake was great as a rookie but I'm not sure he was better than Towns. Towns might be top 10...which again, considering he's younger than all of those guys I just named, that's crazy.

Towns got outplayed by Boban, destroyed by Okafor & plays on a lotto team (ala Blake) unlike the rest of the guys you listed:lol

20 yr old Elton Brand was 20/10 as a rookie on a shitty team.

Rick Barry averaged 26 pts/per, won ROY, was named an All-Star, and was named All-NBA First Team his Rookie season.

Elvin Hayes averaged 28 pts & 17 rbs his first year and is the only Rookie to ever lead the league in scoring besides Wilt.

Walt Bellamy averaged 32 pts & 19 rbs and led the league in FG% as a Rookie.

Elgin Baylor averaged 25 pts & 15 rbs and led his team to the NBA Finals.

Allen Iverson averaged 24 pts, 8 asts, & 2 stls on his way to winning ROY and broke Wilt's record of scoring 40+ points in 4 straight games his Rookie season.
