Win shares on both sides of the ball implicity factors in points scored by your team and points allowed by your team - it's pretty much impossible to score high as a tanking team. The fact that he's as high as he is on defense is a funciton of the crazy numbers he puts up that overcomes this.

Somebody tell me with a straight face that wemby is not a top 5 or better defender in the league? He's putting up prime Hakeem numbers in steals and blocks and - again, the gravity warping that he does when guards 1) dribble into the lane and 2) say "oh no" and then dribble back out - is unique to any player in the league.

Victor is most definitely an impact player on defense, in the top 5 this year. This is where I expected him to have the most impact as a rookie.

Lets just not compare him to Magic's rookie year. They aren't in the same galaxy.
But I'll say this again: In 3 years, Victor might be a better player than Magic ever was. His tools are almost infinite; he's just gotta sharpen them a bit.

I think Wilt put up almost 40 and 30 as a rookie PPG/RPG

Though the nba didn't keep official blocks on record back then, certain teams etc did, and some claim he avg around 16-18 Blocks per game his first 6/7 seasons
