According to sports weekly all media (reporter Chaifu)
In September 2020, the American media HoopsHype voted to let 15 NBA talent evaluators choose the best player under the age of 25 in their hearts. Now they have brought in 17 NBA executives in the same form to vote, and the results show that the top two players have not changed, but the order of the latter has changed a lot.
1. Luka Doncic Lone Ranger
Vote: 98.2% (100% of all first-place votes)
Previous Ranking: 1
One general manager said: "Luca is the first without suspense, and the other under-25 players are not a level. ”
In the vote a year and a half ago, Doncic received 100% of the vote, but this time he received 16 of the 17 first votes. Maybe it was the small struggles at the start of the season that influenced people's evaluation of Doncic, but even so far this season, he has averaged 24.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game for the Lone Ranger.
2. Jason Tatum Celtic
Vote: 35.9%
Previous Ranking: 2
Tatum's rebounding average has improved, but his shooting efficiency has slipped too much. His shooting percentage (41.8 percent) and three-point shooting percentage (33.4 percent) this season are career lows. Doubts have been about whether Tatum and Brown can coexist, but ultimately, Tatum must grow into a better leader on and off the court before he can lead the Celtics further.
3. Jay Morant Grizzlies
Vote: 30.6%
Previous Ranking: 4
Morant said he was the league's top five point guard last September, and now he's showing up for it. Not surprisingly, the Grizzlies point guard will be on the All-Star game for the first time this season, this time with the most third votes (4) of any player.
Compared to his rookie year, Morant has improved all of his stats this season, including shooting efficiency. The Grizzlies just beat the Warriors today, and they won 10 straight to continue to be fourth in the West.
4. Lamelo Bauer Wasp
Vote: 20.6%
Previous Ranking: Not on the list
Ball was the only player in this ballot to snatch a first-place vote from Doncic, and his fourth-place vote was the most of any player (5). In his second year, three goals have helped the Hornets play the league's most spectacular offensive basketball, and his own average of points per game and free throw shooting have also improved significantly.
5. Trey Young Eagle
Vote: 20.0%
Before last season, Trae Young's evaluation remained on the "weak team brush" until he led the Hawks all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. "After that playoff performance, he proved that he could lead the team successfully as a core point guard." One executive said.
Although the Hawks haven't performed as expected this season, it doesn't feel like Trey Young is a problem, as he currently averages 28 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, fourth on the scoring list and third on the assists list.
6. Evan Mobley Knight
Vote: 12.9%
"Mobley is the best offensive and defensive all-around player of this draft." One executive said, "He has an over-age maturity. ”
Mobley currently ranks in the top ten of the league with an average of 1.8 blocks per game, which is an important reason for the Cavaliers to play the league's top defense, and it is also the key to the success of the three highs.
7. Zion Williamson Pelicans
Vote: 10.0%
Previous Ranking: 7
One voting executive said Zion's injuries made it difficult to assess him. Healthy Williamson is undoubtedly the youngest man who deserves to be the core of the team, but his injury experience has worried many executives.
"I don't know what to say about Zion. If I knew how to keep him healthy, he was easily in the top three. An executive said. But right now, some executives believe that Zion may not be able to make a comeback this season. In his 2-and-a-half season in the NBA, he played only 85 games.
8. Alexander Thunder
Vote: 9.4%
"He can both attack and score points on his own." One executive said. Alexander shot career-high shooting (50.8 percent) and three-point shooting (41.5 percent) last season, and his projection has dropped significantly this year, but it's also related to his poor playing environment and the opponents putting more defensive emphasis on him.
9. Anthony Edwards Timberwolves
Vote: 5.9%
"If Edwards can hit the jumper steadily, he will have more chances to break through." An executive who voted for him in the second vote said. If the Timberwolves can return to the playoffs this year, the athletically explosive outside is likely to climb to higher positions next year.
Tied for 9. Bam Adebayo Heat
Previous ranking: 5
Before undergoing thumb surgery, Adebayor averaged a career-high 18.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. 'Given his athleticism, all-round attributes, passing and ability to defend the outside, I would consider him the league's second center after Jokic. One general manager said, "I'm thinking about the playoffs, not the regular season. He can stand against Gobert and Embiid, as well as against Brother Alphabet. He can block any player and I don't know what else you can expect a center to do. ”
11-15: Ingram, Jamal Murray, Cunningham, Ayton, Michael Porter Jr
