Was looking at this earlier. Takeaways:

  • Advanced stats seem to love Amen, currently our best prospect yet the 2nd youngest
  • Jabari is currently the worst, but projects to be about as good Jalen/Tari with age
  • Sengun firmly better than Jalen over the last 3 seasons but trending down

What do you think?

  1. This is weird. Jalen started really good then went back to being shit for the last couple of games and Sengun started bad and then started playing like himself for the last 5-6 games. Something seems off.

  2. Got to say, this is some quality content here. Congrats. I’m most surprised by Jalen’s strong positive trend.

    I guess Jabari looks really weak by this metric. No sugar-coating that.

  3. Sengun seems to have a pretty consistent “^” shape to his seasons. Presumably that’s reflecting conditioning stamina affecting play at the end of seasons.

  4. Young prospects that are growing at different rates.

    Although y’all should remember Jabari Smith is the youngest out of these guys having only just hit the US legal drinking age of 21 in May of this year. He is not near his peak yet, Thompson isn’t either but is older by a few months weirdly enough.

  5. I learned that Jabari is still the youngest of the 5 players charted here which is interesting. 🤯

    Also, the only 1 to never be above a 0 Darko (never above a -1 for that matter). 😳
