The question was: Best LSU freshman year basketball performance? I didn’t see anything in there about competition played or what year played.

I’m going to go with 44 points a game along with 10 rebounds.

Definitely Chris Jackson. Would have been Pistol Pete, but they didn’t play as freshmen.

Well, it depends on if you consider playing on the freshman/JV team or not. If so, Pistol, if not, CJ. Ben had a great season, but he didn't make the team better. With a talent like him that team should have made the NCAA tourney. When CJ was a freshman that team was better because of him. And there were no other future NBA players on that team with him.

Abdul-Rauf with Simmons close 2nd


Not only is Simmons not a "close 2nd".....he's not even 2nd. It's Jackson and Maravich at 1 and 2. You could make an argument for either one of them being in the 1 slot

Chris Jackson, 1988-89. By far the best of any Tiger frosh.

I met a guy from California who had never been to Louisiana until he decided to produce a movie here. When he cap to my office for a meeting and saw my LSU degree all he wanted to do was talk about Chris Jackson.

And if you've watched him in the 3 on 3 league, he can STILL shoot!

Only one player in the entire history of the SEC was top 5 in points, rebounds,assists, steals, and fg% in the same season


That person was an LSU freshman


That person is also blamed and called terrible on this board


Go figure
