    Hanga's 28. That's a big difference in NBA years.
    You don't need 15 years from him, only about 4.

    Hanga is past his prime. It's ridiculous people want him to come over tbh.

    A player peaks around that age. It's all downhill from there for Hanga. He ha sn business playing in the NBA.

    I actually think between 28-32 is when an athlete is in his or her prime.

    Thats bad news for Chris Paul fans.

    Spurs can bring over Hanga, just don't expect him to make much of a difference. Like I said, if bringing him over was going to be like bringing Manu over, it would've happened three years ago.

    Then when Manu was being scouted at age 25, "it would have happened three years ago".

    Most data-driven studies have shown that an NBA player's peak ends at 28 IIRC..only 15% or so will have their most productive season after 28-29..

    Below average shooter, do not want.

    What's the point of getting Euros if they can't shoot? If you tell me he will get a Kawhi like development on that department then by all means sign me in, but I highly doubt that can be the case.

    Hanga, if you watch all his game highlights, sure looks like he's jumping lower and finishing with layups more than he did the past two years.

    People think 28 as the peak is bad for Paul, sure. It's also bad for not getting Paul. You're going to be watching Kawhi leave his prime while waiting for bad free agents and old Mills to deliver.

    Bye bye future

    For basketball players that's not true....... Please cite a credible source and provide the link if you can. I don't believe that.

    Yep which means the Warriors are just about done. Curry will be 30 next year and Durant will be 29. This was their peak and it's all downhill from here.

    I'd say peak athletic ability may be 28, but overall complete player, i.e., athletic plus skill and experience goes to 32 for great players and beyond only for the special players (the greatest of the great).

    Bad news in the let's overpay Mills and Simmons train. Danny also might have seen his best season offensively already pass. I think Simmons may still have some potential to at least be more consistent bc he was held back by Pops system. It's possible he can be better next season but that's a huge risk. Guys normally tend to improve from their rookie seasons and he instead regressed statistically except for defense. Risky.

    Past his prime is a much more generic label and implies a broader range of time than saying past his peak.

    Peak would be the breaking point and a much more specific time reference.

    You often hear the saying his prime years. Prime is not the peak but kind of like the mountaintop. Its that 3 to 5 year period when a player is at his best when compared to earlier and later years.

    Most likely in the 26 to 31 year old range or 27 to 32.

    Sefolosha, but more athletic, much better playmaker, not as good a shooter.
    Wow, he shoots worse than Sefolosha. Yikes.

    Apparently it is a wing that can defend but it is a bordeline 30% 3pt shooter (with FIBA three pt line to make matters worse).

    Turning to our set of control variables, AGE and AGE SQUAREDdeliver significant coefficients, positive and negative in line withpriors Moreover, performance in basketball is maximized at 26 yearsof age which appears plausible and as such gives us greater confidencein our model.6
    6 Berri and Schmidt (2010) report that performance peaks in the NBA at age 24.These authors, though, examined performance from 1977 to 2008. We suspect that theslightly later peak in our sample is due to improvement in player training andconditioning methods over time. This allows players to maintain peak performance longer.

    It's like when you blow your nose on a tissue and you hear the booger dislodge and you figure you scored, but you look at the tissue and there's nothing there. Then you look in the mirror and there on your mustache is a nice hanga.
