These are the rookie seasons for several NBA big men…..can you guess who is who?
Player A:
FG 49%  3PT 20%  FT 74%  5.9 REB 0.8 AST 0.5 BLK 0.5 STL 6.0 PTS
Player B:
FG 42%  3PT 31%  FT 81%  4.3 REB  1.6 AST 0.4 BLK 0.5 STL 6.5 PTS
Player C:
FG 40%  3PT 21%  FT 77%  3.4 REB 1.0 AST 0.6 BLK  0.6 STL 8.2 PTS
Player D:
FG 56%  3PT 50%  FT 79%  3.1 REB 0.6 AST 0.5 BLK  0.2 STL 6.3 PTS
