Beijing News (reporter Xu Bangyin) The first 5 games of the new season are over, who is the most watched rookie in the league? It is undeniable that Morant and Tanhua Barrett have a good performance, and the performance of rookies such as Yamura is relatively stable, but the most amazing is the Miami Heat's lost draft Nunn.
Nunn was not a lost rookie this summer, he graduated from the University of Auckland and participated in the 2018 NBA Draft, but ultimately regretted the failure. After signing a three-year, $3 million contract with the Heat last summer, Nunn continued to develop the league until he returned to the Heat this season, when the NBA was actually his rookie season.
Butler, Dragic and Winslow are among the Heat's few stars, and the rest are mostly young players. After five games in the new season, the Heat won 4 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the East, and the team's leading scorer was Nunn. The latter averaged 22.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 steals and shot more than 48 percent from three-point range.

In particular, in today's victory over the Hawks, Nunn scored a game-high 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting, and a total of 112 points in the first five games of his career, becoming the first player to achieve this achievement since Durant in the 2007-2008 season, and Durant contributed 113 points in the first five games of his rookie season. Even compared to previous years, the winner who surpassed Nunn in the first five games of his career was O'Neal, who scored 129 points in the first five games of the 1992-1993 season.
"It all stems from hard training. I also firmly believe that my efforts in training will be rewarded on the field. In an interview, Nunn also thanked his teammates for their support, "There are a lot of people in our team who take on the role of offensive organizers, and everyone actively shares the ball on the offensive end. ”
