The 2022-23 NBA season has recently kicked off. While a lot is expected from the older players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, etc., going into the season, people are excited to see how the young players perform as well.
The last season saw a lot of young players leave their mark on the court and the same is expected from this year’s season. There are a lot of young players to look forward to going into this season. However, in this list we will take a look at the best 5 basketball players under the age of 25 in the NBA.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a great player at hands with Darius Garland. He had a very impressive year last season while averaging over 20 PPG and 8 APG. This also landed him in the All-Star game. At just 22 years old, he’s got the potential to become the future of his franchises.
At just 22 years old, Ja Morant is one of the most talked about players in the NBA. In just three seasons he has risen to averaging over 25 points per game. Last season, Morant led the second-best team in the Western Conference, Memphis Grizzlies. He is also a great and exciting player to watch and has some flashy moves in store. That said, the Grizzlies’ star man is definitely one of the best players under the age of 25.

New York Knick’s Trae Young has established himself as one of the best guards in the league in the last few seasons. Unfortunately for Young, his hype died throughout last season. He struggled and didn’t show the improvement that was expected of him. However, he is still one of the best young players in the league and he is motivated to show it this year. That said, it will be interesting to see how he performs this year.
The Boston Celtic’s Jayson Tatum is one of the best young players that we’ve seen in recent years. Last season, Tatum led the Boston Celtics to the finals while averaging over 26 points per game. The Celtics will have one of the best rosters in the league this season and also be in the forefront to compete for the ring. Tatum will again look to have an amazing season with the Celtics.
Dallas Maverick’s Luka Doncic has been one of the best scorers in the NBA since his debut. The Maverick’s star man has already been compared to players like Michael Jordan in terms of his scoring ability. Moreover, his presence on the basketball court is something else. At just 23 years old, he is one of the best players in the league let alone the best under 25.
