What player had the youngest prime? (alien.top)

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.

Brandon Jennings

His prime was simultaneously the earliest and shortest. Essentially one game as I recall.

Had to scroll way to far to find this. His start to the league was unbelievable.

Came here to say it. I was shocked when he scored 55. 55 in 2009 would be like 60+ game today, and this was from a rookie! I was pretty damn bumed that it was merely a fluke.
