One-hit wonders of the NBA

[KungFuJoe]

Jeremy Lin scoring 38 against the Lakers during Linsanity. That Asian nikka never gonna sniff 30 points again, much less 38.

[no pun intended]

Is he really a one-hit wonder? I know he will never score 50+ again in his career or even 45+, but the dude is pretty solid and had close to an all-star caliber year in 11-12.

Yeah you're right. Shooting a career 39% FG% is pretty solid.

Because FG% is the tell it all stat...

I see a common pattern. They all seem to play with a ball dominant cancer that doesn't allow young players to develop their game.

In his first 10 games as a pro, DaJuan Wagoner had games of:

29 points / 5 assists
28 points / 2 assists
25 points / 10 assists
29 points / 4 assists
18 points / 7 assists
33 points / 2 assists

All of those... in his first TEN games as a 19-year-old rookie. Problem was, it wasn't long before teams began to figure out that he had no left hand. Once that memo went out, his FG% began plummeting. Then, injuries mounted.

There was a time, however, that DaJuan Wagoner looked like one of the best young guards in the NBA. It didn't last long, but it happened.

Nice mention. He did drop off the face of the earth after extreme hype.

Jeremy Lin is definitely a good example of one-hit over a longer period of time. It made it that much more hopeful and disappointing at the same time.
