Teen Titans: Tyler Herro and the NBA youth movement

In the 76 year history of the NBA, only 16 players who began their rookie season under the age of 20 have managed to average more than 10 points in a season. Of that group, four were taken in the 2018 draft - Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr., Marvin Bagley, and Wendell Carter Jr. Tyler Herro seems likely to etch his name in this scroll at year’s end. The 20-year-old, who was still 19 on draft night, is lighting up basketball’s biggest stage, pouring in spectacular scoring performances and even flushing huge crunch-time shots.
