Trivia Tuesday: NBA rookies with the most double-doubles

Dec 11, 2018, 6:13 AM

Phoenix Suns rookie center Deandre Ayton has been a double-double machine so far during his rookie season.

The top overall pick out of Arizona has 15 double-doubles in his first 27 games, more than twice the number any other first-year player has accumulated.

It got us to thinking…what players had the most double-doubles in a rookie season since 1990. In fact, now you get to think about it too, because it’s the subject of this week’s Trivia Tuesday challenge.

We’ve given you the number of double-doubles, the year and the team each player did it for along with a generous eight minutes on the clock. You just name the player (last name will do) and that’s it!

Good luck!
