8. (Tied) Bill Cartwright (1979)

Cartwright made the All-Star team in his rookie season, which is quite impressive. The 7’1” big man had a lot of hype coming out of the University of San Francisco. He was picked third by a terrible Knicks team and stepped into an immediate significant role.

He played well, averaging 21.7 PPG and 8.9 RPG. Shockingly, those went on to be the best season averages for his entire career in those categories. While they would eventually win three titles as a member of the Bulls dynasty, he never played a major role for them.
