Wouldn't this chart indicate that a team full of 22-24 year olds would dominate the league?
Meanwhile we know such teams rarely have success.
More to building teams than "WAR".
That’s really missing the point, this trend is relative to the players intrinsic ability. A younger team is likely to be a rebuilding team and so even though they have a hunch of young players they’re not necessarily good young players. The point of this chart is that if you’re going to pay money or assets to acquire or keep a player, you should be cognizant of their realistic age curve and shouldn’t be handing out 8x8 deals to near-30 year old players or trading the farm for a guy pending UFA when he’s just finished giving his best years to another team
