This year's NBA draft is called the "draft year" by the outside world. In the first three weeks of the NBA, there have been many rookies who have played for value, such as The Cavaliers' Mobley, the Pacers' Duarte and the Raptors' Barnes. But the performances of Champion Canning ann and Jaylen Green were slightly sluggish and somewhat disappointing.
Today's game, The Champion Show met the list of the eye show, which is also the first showdown of the two NBA careers, and the outside world has been paying attention to the performance of the two.
In the end, Cunningham played 30 minutes, shooting 8 of 18, including 4 of 8 three-pointers, contributing 20 points, 4 boards, 3 assists, 2 breaks and 1 cap for the team.
Jaylen Green played 38 minutes and shot 8-of-20, including 3-of-11 three-pointers, a team-high 23 points plus 5 boards and 2 assists.
Compared to the previous performances, the performance of the two in this game is very good, withstood the pressure, and did not appear to pull the crotch. In the game, the confrontation between Jaylen Green and Cunningham is also very fierce. At the end of the third quarter, Jaylen Green staged a flying dunk directly after breaking through Cunningham, and the roar at Cunningham was blown by the referee for a technical foul. It can be seen that the two young people have been secretly competing.
In the NBA's official rookie list, the rankings of Champion Canningham and Jaylen Green are not high. Jaylen Green is provisionally 6th and Cunningham is provisionally 7th. But judging by the performance of the two tonight, they are indeed very talented and will definitely not become parallel goods. What's more, both the Pistons and the Rockets have cultivated them as the core of the team. Both have bright futures in the NBA.
