Glen Robinson dominated college basketball in early 90s.
1st season: redshirt due to prop 48
2nd season: 24.1 ppg and 9.3 rebounds
3rd season: 30.3 ppg and 11.2 rebounds
left after 2 playing seasons.
 

I think I want my money back!

That Dam JJ Reddick & Shane Battier seemed unstoppable at times.

No one is real dominant any more because these kids are gone after one year and two years at most.

As far as single seasons I would say Durant and Wade.

I agree with Glenn Robinson ... I remember when he wanted $70 million to sign, the owner of the Bucks said, "How about he give me $70 million for 5 years and I just give him the team?"

Glenn Robinson is one of the major reasons we have rookie cap today.

Cousins this year reminds me a lot of shaq back at lsu
stephen curry was just a pure scorer on a bad team in a bad conference.
Blake Griffin did whatever he want to whoever he want.
Michael Beasley
Kevin Durant
just some recent ones but its harder to put guards on the list

I think Seymours right with Melo.....Won a title as a freshman, although he was just really good in the Big East all eyar, wasn't really dominant. Which is why they only got a 3rd seed. For dominance all year I'd probably go with Camby with UMass in 95 (went 35-2, lost to a loaded Kentucky team) or maybe ****** Robinson..

D Wade didn't dominate. He dominated the Kentucky game.

Lionel Simmons, but I believe he was before Shaq.

Shariff Abdur Rahim, was putting up numbers at CAL.

Pretty much the same numbers as Wade. Wade could dish the ball and keep others involved more. Wade also took his team to the final four while Shareef lost in the first to Iowa St.
There are others ahead of Wade but I love his game and thought he deserved a mention.
