With impactful talent trending younger than ever in the NBA, it should probably not surprise to see the two leading candidates for the 2023 Kia Most Valuable Player award to be a pair of players under age 25 in Boston Celtics superstar forward Jayson Tatum and Dallas Mavericks star forward Luka Doncic.
And with that in mind, Frank Urbina of our sister site HoopsHype wrote up the results of an internal poll of his fellow H/H writers and editors to gauge the state of the talent under age 25 in the league. As we hinted, Tatum is of course on that list, ranked second behind Doncic and just ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
