Post trade deadline rankings of young cores. — This does not take into account future draft capital. Only players 25 or under. Not listing every player, but the most important ones. Was hard to separate elite talent from quantity of talent. Especially a team like the Pacers where Haliburton is a large portion of their value but hes 25 and injured. If I missed a small trade or something my bad. Let me know what you think.
**1.** **San Antonio Spurs-** Victor Wenbanyama, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, and Cart

[OC] Future Hall of Fame Watch-List for the 2025-26 season (HOF Probabilities for active NBA players) — This post is heavily inspired by u/cilantro_samosa's post on [predicting which of this past season's players will make the hall of fame](https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1mhhfhh/oc_there_are_an_average_of_30_future_hall_of/). Their post focuses on estimating the average number of active future hall of famers in a season (30), and then figuring out which players make that fixed cut.
It's definitely a great piece of work. But some of the feedback on their post raises a couple good points:

Does College PPG Matter? — I went to the nba website to find every nba player and went to college basketball reference to find out the career scoring average of every nba player while they were in college. This doesn’t take into account team strength or strength of opponents. Through my findings, DeAndre Jordan is the lowest ranked all star with 7.9 PPG and thee lowest ranked mvp is Russell Westbrook with 8.3 PPG.

1. Marjon Beauchamp-30.7 PPG
2. Trae Young-27.4 PPG

Calvin Booth's career is perplexing — I think the Nuggets were right to fire Calvin Booth. The last two years were atrocious. He wasted two years of Jokic's prime. But what is strange is that he had an out of body experience for the first six months of his tenure.

Those moves brought a championship and he should get credit for that. That's an insane hot streak. But even then, there were some
