The analytical side of me thinks about this all the time and I came to the same conclusion as @chao7 . Another element I thought about which DCAllAfrican DCAllAfrican , addict4sneakers addict4sneakers or any of the other users who train youth can comment on but do y'all think the uptick in the pace at levels plus advancements in training has changed things too? In the sense that kids are pushing their bodies more at younger ages such that it catches up them by the time they get to the league?

I am the furthest thing from a trainer or physiologist but just a random possibility that crossed my mind when I tried to make sense of it.

This convo comes up often when listening to training/coaching podcasts.

Kids are being pushed very early. So many parents have disposable income and are hiring trainers for younger kids.
Kids are not playing a variety of sports which in turn puts so much stress on certain joints/muscles/tendons since they aren't getting breaks or having an "off-season."
Kids in previous generations played more sports for fun vs. this modern era.
We see a lot of ACL tears today and I feel it has to do with the reasons I listed above.
 
Raptors are down bad






I know they make a lot but being away from home for that long (I imagine there are restrictions for being around family too) AND being trash has to be emotionally exhausting.
