Players Who Peaked Early

Tyreke didn't peak early.

He isn't being used correctly. Give him to Pops.

Give Tyreke and DMC to Pop

Reke was actually pretty good last year, highest PER he's ever had, highest per 36 rebounds and assists per game, second highers per 36 points per game.

He also had a bad start to the year, managed to salvage it during the last 2 months, averaging 20-5-6 during that span. No doubt, he'd be much more effective in a better offensive scheme.

Maybe not his peak but Antione Walker had his lone 20/10 season in his second year.

Similarly, Antawn Jamison was 25/9 in his 3rd year.

Dikembe Mutombo's peak obviously was almost entirely defense-based and occurred at about the right time in his career so I don't know if he'd qualify for this thread. But I admit I always found it interesting that he averaged nearly 16 points per game his rookie year and never really came close to that number again in the seasons thereafter.

I did not follow the '92 Nuggets back then (I was in 2nd grade) but I often assume they tried to force him to be an offensive threat in year one then slowly realized he was never really going to be that guy.
