I do because if you were that good as a freshman you would of been able to go to the nba in the past.

Patrick Ewing and Carmelo Anthony come to mind as better freshman. Ewing dominated and if not for the fact the North Carolina team Georgetown faced in 1982 had two hall of famers(Jordan and Worthy) he would have won a title
Anthony did something Durant couldn't do and actually carry his team to victories. I think USC derserves credit for outplaying Texas, but Durant really did not play a great game

I got a 1 word to answer this question. NO!!! Texas needs more than Durant to get the job done. I think that Micheal Jordan is the best but I am a Tar Heels fan.

lol no way CARMELO ANTHONY He won the freakin national championship, Durant didnt even make it to the sweet sixteen. Dont get me wrong, Durant is a great player, and will do very well at the NBA level. But best freshman ever? I dont think so

I agree with KROD 610. Its Melo thats the best. He did get Syracuse its own Championship and Durant couldnt do that. He is a heck of a ball player but he isnt the best.

Pistol Pete Maravich
When he took the court for his first freshman game at LSU, a large crowd turned out to see what all the fuss was about.
In those days, freshman players didn't play with the varsity squad. So, after Maravich put up 50 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds on Southeastern Louisiana College, the crowd got up and went home, ignoring the varsity game. And so it would go the rest of the season, as LSU's freshman squad lost only one game, while the varsity team won only three.
"Guys tried to figure out what he was going to do by watching his belt buckle, but it didn't do any good with Pete," said Johnny Carr, a former teammate of Maravich's, in a 1988 interview. "When he would make a move. . .he was so fast you couldn't do anything with him. You would think you had him, but he would just go by you and laugh."
In his three years on the varsity team at LSU, Maravich scored 3,667 points in 83 game—an average of 44.2 points per game, and the all-time National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record. He set 11 NCAA and 34 Southeastern Conference basketball records, as well as every LSU record in points scored, scoring average, field goals attempted and made, and free throws attempted and made. Maravich still holds many of these records, more than 35 years later.
So, at the NCAA level I gotta go with Pete even though he technically wasn't allowed to play as a true freshman.

Ever? What about Bill Walton? What about Lew Alcindor? He's a very nice player, but not the best ever.

well idk if he is the #1 best of all time because there were some other guys some years back that averaged more points as a freshmen than Durrant but he is deffently an incretible player.

if he was so great wouldnt he have been able to lead the horns past SC , they dont have anybody close to his ability...(btw good lob up there with Melo and his leading the orange to a title ...)
