Top 5 NBA duos aged 25 or under as of August 2021

#3 Trae Young (22) and John Collins (23) - Atlanta Hawks

Trae Young has turned out to be a brilliant investment for the Atlanta Hawks. The diminutive point guard has dazzled the NBA with his shooting and playmaking, and is on a trajectory to become a top ten player in the league.

While Young has succeeded in becoming an elite perimeter talent, John Collins has wreaked havoc in the paint since his NBA debut. He is also proficient at shooting, which makes him a complete offensive threat.

The duo played a key role in the Hawks making the finals in the East in the 2021 playoffs, and will be central to their team's plans in the future as well.

#2 Devin Booker (24) and DeAndre Ayton (22) - Phoenix Suns

Devin Booker is just 24, but he has already made the NBA finals and played six seasons in the league. He is a two-time All-Star, and there is a great likelihood of him retiring as one of the greatest scorers of all time.

The Phoenix Suns made the NBA Finals last season, and both Booker and 2018 no.1 overall pick DeAndre Ayton made key contributions in their playoff run. The duo possesses the talent to rule the Western Conference for years, so it won't be a surprise to see them win a ring together.

#1 Jayson Tatum (22) and Jaylen Brown (24) - Boston Celtics

Danny Ainge is revered as one of the shrewdest operators in the NBA, and his decision to draft talents like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown has set the Boston Celtics up for success for many years.

Tatum is a two-time All-Star who made the All-NBA team in the 2019-20 season. He became a household name when he helped the Celtics take LeBron James' Cavs to seven games in 2018, and has only improved since then.

Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown has established himself as the second option behind Tatum. Brown is versatile, and can play both on and off the ball.
