Normally a pro basketball player works up to their best pro season, but Dave Greenwood did it backward as his rookie year was his most productive.
Drafted from the University of Oregon in the Third Round in 1964, Dave Wilcox won the Left Linebacker role during his rookie season, and he would hold on to it until he retired after the 1974 Season.
The 2007 28thOverall Draft Pick from Central Michigan, Joe Staley started at Right Tackle in his rookie year for San Francisco before being moved to Left Tackle, where he remained their starter for well over a decade.
Orlando Woolridge was taken no. 6 overall in 1981 by the Chicago Bulls, and the Small Forward played his first five seasons there.
Woolridge only averaged 15.8 Minutes per Game as a rookie but started more than half as a sophomore and was a full blown starter in his third year, where he closed in on 20 Points per Game. He reached that mark in his fourth and fifth year in Chicago, where he inched over those marks though he didn't have to worry about that as much as Jordan arrived in 1984 (year four).
He would sign as a Veteran Free Agent with New Jersey in 1986, and he is the answer to the trivia question, who was the Bulls leading scorer in a season before Jordan. With the Bulls, Woolridge averaged 17.4 Points per Game.
