i have no stats to quote but i feel that young players put their bodies through NBA rigors that asks so much so young
marcus smarts, draft year was decimated early in first season
the speed,athleticism and physical play put so much stress on these kids
even those with mature physiques and strength have never been tested like this
the best picks go to the worst teams and play the most
jaylen brown has been lucky coming to a good team and getting the right minutes
amir johnson is old in his prime,
why the rush,why not let these players mature physically and mentally
why the prejudice in press towards players that come out later or older -he is 22 vs 19
the red claws have a rehabbing center with a 7-6 reach BUT he is 28,jackson,nader and jaylen jones all a little older so what-at least you know what you get
i guess that one would say philly has suffered with its young bigs and injuries
i think it takes time to realize what you can and can't do without high risk of injuries
lets use james for example coming in and not having the size to play defense or get to hoop
but he had that" stroke" and he was paralyzed by his youthful physique being asked to do what he couldn't--
