The Top 25 NBA Players Under The Age of 25: #20 - #16

411's Matt McCready continues his countdown of the top young stars in the NBA. Last week Ben Gordon came in at number 21 and this week we look at numbers 20 through 16. Will Muggsy Bogues Jr. make the cut?

How the players are rankedTo determine the ranking of the players on this list they are evaluated equally on their performance last year and their overall potential level. For example, while Andrea Bargnani is ranked highly on potential he also had the worst season on the list last year and is graded justly. On the other hand, Gerald Wallace had a terrific season last year but the combination of his age, league experience and injury history causes his potential score to be amongst the lowest. 20. Monta Ellis SG/PG, Golden State Warriors I feel like I should be doing some lame Bob Sagat impression while looking at this picture Age: 21 Height: 6-3 Weight: 177 Scoring: 8 (out of 10) Passing/Team Play: 5 Athleticism: 8 Defense: 3 Intangibles: 5 Potential: 7 If everything goes right he could be the next Allen Iverson Favorite shot at the bar...
