Average age through the years: NBA playing its young players more
There’s no specific news hook for this post, other than we were talking about it among the TrueHoop Network, and it’s interesting.
Here’s a chart of the NBA’s average age season-by-season.
Seasons are denoted by their second year. For example, the 2010-11 season is shown on the graph as 2011.
The blue line represents the average age of anyone who played that year, and the red line represents a weighted average based on playing time (data from Basketball-Reference).
It’s interesting how the gap between the weighted average age and the average age has closed.
Here’s a chart that includes the age of the oldest and youngest player each season.
