Only 3 people went from High School to the NBA

[Shill Jackson]

and averaged double digits as an 18 year old.

Who are they?

[_Vcsgrizzfan_]

LeBron, Garnett and Kobe?

[Da Stars.]

LeBron, Garnett and Kobe?

That would’ve been my guess but I don’t like that is the answer

[elmouse03]

LeBron, Garnett, and Moses Malone.

Edit: actually Dwight Howard averaged 12ppg coming out high school also. So there is 4?

Doesn’t look like Moses came to the nba until 21 and Dwight was 19 his rookie season

The stat I saw must have missed Dwight.
My three are Garnett, Bron and A’mare.

I think so were LeBron and Garnett.

Moses was in the aba as a rookie out of highschool but had probably the greatest rookie season of a highschool drafted player ever.

Garnett, yes. Lebron was definitely 18 when he got drafted and started the season

They all started the season at 18 but had birthdays during it and finished it up at 19.
Jermaine O'Neal and Kobe both played at 18 as rookies but averaged single digits.

[Titan18]

Amare was 20 as of his first nba game

KG was 19

Lebron and Dwight are the only ones I think of as they were 18 as of their first nba game but both turned 19 still relatively early in the season.

No idea on the 3rd one

[LNS]

Thought McGrady would make the cut but he only averaged 7ppg his rookie season just like Kobe.

[Titan18]

There isn’t 3. Honestly think whoever made this claim fucked up and incorrectly thought KG was one of them.

Why doesn’t KG count? He was drafted outta high school and put up 10.4 ppg his rookie season.

Edit: nm saw the age thingie in the OP
