NBA 25 under 25: The best young stars, ranked by future potential

Which NBA stars are the best young players in the league?

Of course, Victor Wembanyama made the cut, and it won't be too long until the San Antonio Spurs' rookie sensation becomes a staple atop this list. Where does Zion Williamson, who has played just 120 games during his four-plus-year career with the New Orleans Pelicans, land this season? Did Luka Doncic, fresh off his fourth consecutive All-NBA first-team appearance, top our list once again?

ESPN NBA Insiders Tim Bontemps, Bobby Marks, Kevin Pelton and André Snellings are ranking their top 25 under 25 based on future potential, including where stars such as Wembanyama, Williamson, Doncic, Ja Morant and LaMelo Ball check in right now -- and what could be next.
