Despite impressive numbers and increased team success, Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young found himself on the outside looking in with regard to the 2021 NBA All-Star Game. His omission was certainly controversial, especially when compared to a player or two that made the cut, but Young does have an All-Star appearance (as a starter) under his belt and many more years to leave his mark at the highest level. With that as the backdrop, ESPN released its annual rankings of the 25 best NBA players under the age of 25 — based on what ESPN describes as “future potential” — on Tuesday, and both Young and John Collins made the cut.
