Please don't judge the rookies by their first season(and absolutely not by their first few games...). If that was the case then the league would look like that now:
2013/2014 first team all rookie
MCW(ROY), Trey Burke, THJ, Oladipo and Mason Plumlee. So are they all better players than: Otto Porter Jr, Giannis, Adams, Gobert, Schroeder, Olynyk, KCP, who were all drafted in 2013
OK let's look at the 2014/2015
1st team: Wiggins, Mirotić, Noel, Elfrid Payton, Jordan Clarkson. Are they better than let's say: Aaron Gordon, Smart, Randle, Lavine, Warren, Nurkić, Capella, Harris, Grant,...
2015/2016 was quite OK with Booker, KP, KAT, Jokić(drafted in 2014) and Okafor
2016/2017
1st team: Brogdon, Šarić, Embiid(was drafted in 2014), Hield and ... WILLY HERNANGOMEZ!!!!. That team would eat: Murray, Brown, Ingram, Sabonis, Levert, Murray, Zubac,...
There are very few rookies that play great(Luka level or near that), and many of those who weren't the best end up looking great in a couple of years.
Seth Curry played a total of 21 minutes in his first 2 seasons. Gobert averaged 2.3 points in his first season. Giannis averaged under 7 points per game in his first season(does that look like a MVP?). Heck DSJ looked better than Fox in his rookie season and look at them now.
Please don't judge a plyer by their first season. 2nd season is usually the one that shows us what a player is capable. Players need time to adjust to the game, to the life,... For some guys it's easier. And there is also a great factor that doesn't show up until later and that's the players will/determination to get better.
