Another thing people have to factor in is...the changing of the guard is upon us. A group of players inevitably has to carry the next wave of hobby usdt.

Right now you have:

Yoker
- generational, but also a center with a polarizing hobby perception due to his playstyle
- most decorated of anyone on this list
- prices aided by the limited nature and lack of quality autos his rookie year
- no real push by NBA to be face of the league...perhaps due to bland, pony herding swag
- will most likely be the GOAT mvp merchant of anyone on this list by the time he retires

Yannis
-obviously the most decorated of everyone not named Yoker in this under 30 age group
-most dominant 2 way player on the list
-injuries have started to become a bit of a concern

Lulu
-super heavy and somewhat unrealistic expectations baked into his prices
- was a buy high early candidate unlike the others on this list
- prices have pulled back but shot back up again after the trade
- will most likely be the only player on this list without an MVP or ring after this season. also)
- weight/injury concerns a media narrative (justified or not)

SGA
-leading a top 2 team in the league
- will have his first mvp...2 way player that's also top 5 in DPOY considerations
- but plays in OKC which will always put a slight damper on his prices relatively speaking)
- rookie cards in different uniform which isn't optimal but probably not as big a factor if he continues on this path
- not much media exposure until this year...unsure if that will continue

Tatum
- interesting case study...has had the most playoff success than his peers since he came in
- buy high candidate early...prices have pulled back from those peaks despite the fact he's now a champion
- has not been in legitimate discussions for being an mvp winner
- for some reason seems to get overlooked in current discussions and has much less interest outside of Boston than I'd expect
- very good 2 way player but doesn't dominate any statistical category

===============================

Everyone else

(whose prices will also have to contend against the hyper saturated printing era we're currently in)




It's very possible we run into a similar situation that exists in futbol with Patty and the 'others,' but we're so far removed from a Patty existing on the NBA side of things...at least presently. So the money will have to flow somewhere.

Place your bets.
