I guess ESPN should release a new top 25 under 25 list

[Marchesk]

From April 6, 2021:

1. Luka Doncic
2. Zion Williamson
3. LaMelo Ball
4. Donovan Mitchell
5. Jayson Tatum
6. De’Aaron Fox
7. Ben Simmons
8. Devin Booker
9. Bam Adebayo
10. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
11. Brandon Ingram
12. Jaylen Brown
13. Jamal Murray
14. Michael Porter Jr.
15. Ja Morant
16. Trae Young
17. Mikal Bridges
18. Domantas Sabonis
19. Anthony Edwards
20. Deandre Ayton
21. Tyrese Haliburton
22. John Collins
23. Jarrett Allen
24. Lonzo Ball
25. Collin Sexton

Last I checked, most of those players haven't put up 48/7/11 in a conference finals game.

List still looks accurate to me.

Yeah, like Ben Simmons earning that #7 spot.

Also, Pelicans have 3 players in the top 24, with 2 in the top 11, and they can't make the playoffs. Makes sense.

Meanwhile, the Hawks ...

[Mr.GOAT2408]

So much wrong with that list but ESPN has always made trash lists so par for the course for them

Lmao this list is so trash. Even before the playoffs this list is still garbage. Fvckin espn

Trae is knocking on the door at top 10 in NBA not just too under 25. He’s not there yet but obviously he has shown he can lead a team.

Meanwhile, the Hawks ...

are in the east and have a deeper more talented team. Might not have even made it in to the play in if they were in the west

[bison]

ESPN are morons. This is not new knowledge.

[Marchesk]

ben simmons and trae just swap places and it's not so bad

Why the hell does LaMelo Ball deserve the #3 spot already? Why is Zion #2? the way I see it's, Luka, Tatum and Trae at the top with Mitchell and Booker rounding out the top 5. Murray and Zion after that. Zion doesn't deserve higher than #7, yet.

[Marchesk]

Actually, come to think of it, Ja deserves to be over Zion at this point, getting that Memphis team to the playoffs twice and how he performed in the first round. He's close to Murray at #6.

[Spurs m8]

Zion has under performed but has already developed an entitlement.

Hmm..where have we seen this before?

[bison]

Zion should be lower. Lamelo should be WAY lower wtf. Donovan and Tatum are ok, fox should not be top 10. Simmons seems right at 7 despite all the hate. Book, Kingram and Trae are top 10.

Revised list:
1 luka
2 trae
3 book
4 tatum
5 zion
6 simmons
7 donovan
8 kingram
9 jamal
10 ayton

The Lebron fam had adopted him as their next, but now they're jumping ship to Young. I think they did a stint with Morant as well. Or was that Luka? I can't keep track.

Shameless lol

I don't know how Morant isn't at least top 10. He's made Memphis better than Zion/Kingram/Ball have made the Pelicans so far.

[iamgine]

It feels like Trae would definitely make top 5 now with the way he performed in his first playoff.
