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.

It’s hard to think of one who didn’t get injured early in no their career. Vince Carter and Blake Griffin peaked early in their careers mostly because their game relied on their athleticism. Vince was able to extend his career 10+ years at least.

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.
