NBA: Looking back at 4 players that peaked way too early

Looking back at four NBA players who entered the league with promise, but peaked way too early

For every LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Michael Jordan, etc who continue to improve on their stellar early success, there are NBA Players who peak way too early in their career. NBA Players who go from future stars to role players at best in a short amount of time. I have chosen four NBA players who peaked way too early.

Two of those players peaked as rookies. Meaning that they looked stellar in their first year, however, they never were able to reach the same heights that they were at in the first year of their career, whether it be due to injuries, or it is the case of them just being given more opportunity on less talented teams in year one.

The other two players peaked early on. These are players who showed improvement from year to year early on. However, they saw a dramatic drop in production right after the peak of their improvement. These players didn’t just show greatness as a rookie, they showed improvement, however, it would be short-lived.

Here are four NBA Players who peaked way too early in their careers.
