Wait, when did you "let" me get the last word? Is this the last word, or was my previous comment the last word?

Sorry to break this up into multiple posts, but I'm so puzzled by this absurd argument that I can't help myself from looking into it more. And every data point just reinforces how ridiculous it is that these are the two guys that keep getting mentioned. If anything, they're an argument for the...

I thought I did, but now I'm not so sure. You must be talking about a different guy. You can't possibly be referring to this guy: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/murraja01.html I did some Googling for "top 25 under 25 NBA players" lists, too, to see if there was more hype...
