I was thinking today, I’ve seen talks about people entering their prime at really old ages, like Karl Malone for example. But that made wonder, who hit the peak of their career at the younger ages? For example, micheal carter Williams practically peaked in his rookie year.
Tmac was one of the youngest hall of famers. Short and young prime for him
Penny Hardaway
Ben Simmons
Brandon Roy
Dwight
Shaq from a defensive and rebounding perspective. He got his peak rebounds and blocks per game during his Orlando run
D rose
If Ben Simmons doesn’t come back to the same level he was at pre-Hawks series then we’ll have a guy who won 3× All-Star, 1x Third Team, and 2× All-Defensive First Team all before he turned 26.
Derrick rose
People saying D Rose when he never actually hit his prime lmao.
Trae Young? His season at 21 was lit.
Or Michael Carter Williams. His rookie year was his best year. He was 22 at the time, so if Trae top his sophomore effort, I revert to MCW.
Terry Dischinger Sidney Wicks Bill Walton Alvan Adams Buck Williams Phil Ford Ralph Sampson Mark Jackson Larry Johnson Brandon Roy Emeka Okafor Eric Gordon Kevin Love Michael Carter-Williams Derrick Rose Ben Simmons
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Monte Ellis?
Emoni Bates peaked as a sophomore in HS
Probably D. Rose
