Ranking the 23 best NBA players under 23 years old, with Zion Williamson back from injury

AGE: 21.8 Oklahoma City’s Jalen Williams was one of the most productive players in the NBA during preseason action. The lottery pick ranked third-best in both assists and steals, and he was both versatile and efficient as a scoring threat, managing 21 points on just 8 field-goal attempts in his final preseason performance. Ja Morant is the only player who scored more points in the paint than Williams did during the preseason. Williams looks more than ready to contribute at a high level in the pros, and he should get significant playing time for the rebuilding Thunder.
