Now that the NBA has entered the era of small balls, pay attention to magic balls, three points is almost a necessary skill. We've also seen a lot of centers transition from traditional centers to centers who can shoot three-pointers, like the Bucks' big Lopez, like the Pelicans' Valanciunas, and the Lakers' Howard. The small-ball era emphasizes greater mobility and three-pointers, while also ensuring the defensive ability and rebounding ability of traditional centers, and some also have the functions of planning and organization. For example, Jokic is a very popular center at the moment, and has now grown into an MVP; for example, the Warriors' dream-chasing Green, his playing style has achieved the Warriors' 5 years and 3 crowns, becoming the Warriors' absolute pivot, to a certain extent, Curry.
In the 90s more than 20 years ago, it was the era of four centers fighting hand-to-hand, Gorilla Ewing, Big Dream Olajuwon, Admiral David Robinson, Shark O'Neal. Their playing style is all inside, almost no mid-range shooting ability, completely relying on hand-to-hand combat to play the world. In today's small-ball era, it is difficult for us to see such an inside line, and I feel that if there is such an inside line, then there is almost no living space for a short center like Dream Green and a skinny skimp like Wood. It can be seen how great Jordan was at that time! In the new era, the "four major centers" under the age of 21, who has better development prospects?
The first thing to talk about is the 20-year-old Mobley, who is also this year's flower exploration show. Template Bosh and thick eyebrows, height up to 2 meters 13, attack and defense in one. This season, Mobley has averaged 13.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and Mobley is in the top three of the rookie list in many periods, and this season is also very promising to compete for the best rookie! Mobley's defensive efficiency over 100 rounds this season is 98.2, ranking 8th in the league. The author feels that it is precisely because of Mobley's excellent defense that the Cavaliers' three-high defense is so prominent! Mobley has the athletic ability and basket confrontation ability that Markkanen does not have, and has the ability to shoot long distances that Jayat Allen does not have, and I think at least Mobley's prospects are better than the same 20-year-old talent Wiseman, and I think that Mobley will most likely become an All-Star player in the future!
Last year's No. 16 show Stewart reached 2.03 meters tall barefoot and wearing shoes reached 2.06 meters tall, and now he is only 20 years old, and the style is somewhat similar to Ben Wallace. No mid-range shooting ability, like confrontation, defense is tough enough, but there is almost no small technology under the basket, and there is no strategizing ball. The author feels that although Stewart has now sat firmly in the pistons' starting point, as Cunningham grows, Cunningham needs a center who can block and dismantle, and Stewart's ability to eat cakes or long-range shooting is very limited, and I think Stewart will soon be disposed of by the Pistons! Stewart's ceiling is a $10 million blue-collar worker, and I think Looney is his ceiling!
This year's No. 16 show Shen Jing is only 19 years old, with a height of 2 meters 08, the author feels that Shen Jing's style is a bit similar to Scola, feeling like the big one Scola. Soft feel and delicate basket footwork, and there is a certain three-point ability, but Shen Jing's confrontation is too weak, which also determines The upper limit of Shen Jing. The author feels that it is difficult for Shen Jing to become a star player after that, and the contract of about 20 million yuan is the upper limit of Shen Jing. After all, hand-to-hand combat ability is not something that can be exercised by exercise, and talent determines many things. On the contrary, the author feels that the prospects of Garouba, who chased dreams in the 19-year-old template, are better!
Sharp is the 29th pick this year, and there aren't many big players this year. Sharp is also one of the best interior lines of the year, barefoot height of 2 meters 08 he is only 20 years old this year, template little Jordan. I think Sharp's development in the Nets is really limited, because Nicholas Clarkston's style of play is almost the same as Sharp's, and It is difficult for Sharp to get playing time, even with a passing master like Harden. If Sharp can go to the Nuggets, Warriors, a team that just needs the Tough No. 5 position, I think his future will be better. For now, the "four centers" of the new era, Mobley's development prospects are the best, Garruba is a bit of a backward meaning, and Wiseman, who was optimistic, almost fell off!
