The NBA currently has a plethora of players that are 21 and under. With the new rookie class now in the NBA as well, there are even more, but none can crack this list. Let’s look at the top 5 below.
5. Scottie Barnes Raptors
The rookie of the year last year had a great first season. He is still unproven though as he shot just 30.1% from three and only averaged 3.5 assists per game from a point forward position.
4. Tyrese Maxey 76ers
Maxey looked like a star in the making last year without Ben Simmons and was maybe even better with James Harden as he averaged 17.5 points and shot 42.7% from three.
3. Cade Cunningham Pistons
A rookie last year, Cunningham looks like he can be a star already in this league.
2. Anthony Edwards Wolves
Edwards is already one of the best scorers in the league but is fairly inconsistent and maybe not even the best player on his team
1. LaMelo Ball Hornets
The only All Star on this list is the clear No. 1 player under 21 in the league. Ball averaged 20.1 points and 7.6 assists last year.
