And this season, there are also the following five players who have played their best performances in the game and played very brightly on the field. The following author will bring you the 5 players who played the best performances of their careers in the new season, of which Morant is expected to impact the regular season MVP this season, and Murray has become the new core of the Spurs.
5. Poole (Warriors)
When Poole first entered the league, his shooting percentage was dismal, and many times he would have 11 shots, 2 of 13 and 3 of 14, and rarely shot more than 50% of the shooting. In the game, his performance was very sluggish, and in the absence of a major general in the team, Poole's performance did not meet the team's expectations for him, and he was only able to play in the development league for a while.
Fortunately, despite Poole's ironcladism, Kerr did not give up on his cultivation, and when he did not shoot well, Kerr would still give him the opportunity to perform. And Poole did not disappoint Kerr, in the third season into the league, Poole finally ushered in the outbreak, in this season he can average 17.1 points, 3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, averaging 5.1 points higher than last season, improving rapidly, in other aspects, Poole's performance is also very eye-catching.
Poole has now become the main rotation player in the Warriors' lineup, and in Klay's absence, he will be the team's starter, partnering Curry in the game. After Clay's return, he will also become the sixth man on the team, helping the team on the bench. If Poole can continue to help the team, then at the end of the season, Poole signs a big contract is also promising.
4. Hiro (Heat)
Not surprisingly, the Heat's Hiro will be the best sixth man of the season, in fact, the best sixth man is the most suspenseful of all the awards. Because Hiro has been so good this season, although he plays the sixth man role on the Heat, he is more important to the team than most starters, and in key moments, Spoo head coach will also let him appear in the game and complete key shots.
So far in the new season, Hiro has been able to average 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, shooting 42.8% from the field and 38.8% from three-point range. The Heat were able to top the top three in the East this season, and Hiro's performance was crucial, playing his career best this season, becoming more and more efficient on the offensive end and working the defensive end.
At the end of the season, Hiro is eligible to complete an early contract extension with the team, and based on his current performance, the best sixth man is basically in the pocket. In this offseason, whether it is the Heat's luxurious results, Hiro has the hope of getting a good contract extension, he has shown the talent to become a special player, and now he just needs to keep himself in shape.
3. Miles Bridges (Hornets)
In last year's offseason, Bridges originally hoped to complete an early contract extension with the Hornets, but because the salary was not agreed, Bridges did not complete an early contract extension with the Hornets. The youngster, who was selected with the 12th pick in the first round of 2018, hopes to use this season's performances to help him get a big contract.
And for now, he's really done that, and Bridges has been so good this season that at the start of the season, he scored 30+ points in a row, making him the best player of the Eastern Conference. His play has been consistent since then, becoming a stable offensive output point for the Hornets.
So far in the new season, Bridges has averaged 19.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, many of which have set career highs, while his average points per game currently lead the Hornets. He's one of the Hornets' best players this season, he's becoming more and more consistent on the offensive end, strong on the defensive end and efficient on both ends of the floor. Now Bridges is not only expected to help him get a top-paying contract in the offseason, he is also expected to be an All-Star this season.
2. Murray (Spurs)
The Spurs changed leaders after players such as Duncan, Parker and Ginobili retired, after the team wanted The Little Card to be the new core of the team, but he eventually left the team. The Spurs then got Aldridge and DeRozan, both of whom were great but struggled to help the team out of trouble, and after a few seasons, they both left the Spurs. After DeRozan and Aldridge left the Spurs, the team lacked a real leader, and in this case, the youngster Murray seized the opportunity, he showed his talent and strength in the game, helped the team in all aspects, and played the best performance of his career this season.
In the game that has ended, Murray averaged 34.4 minutes per game, and he was able to get 19.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.1 steals, shooting 44.8% from the field and 32.9% from three-point range, and his personal points, rebounds, assists and steals all set career highs. At the same time, he currently leads the team in points, assists and steals, and in the absence of the core of the team, Murray seized the opportunity, the 25-year-old who has played in the league for 6 seasons, he finally ushered in his own dawn, played the best performance of his career, and proved his worth.
Murray has now shown the potential to become the next successor to the Spurs, and he is the absolute core of the team's tactical system. If Murray can continue to maintain this performance, then the Spurs will continue to build the team around him in the future, and Murray will become the new leader of the Spurs.
1. Morant (Grizzlies)
In the 2019 draft, compared to Morant, the outside world is more optimistic about Duke Sanjie's performance in the league, looking forward to Zion becoming the league's top superstar, but also looking forward to Barrett becoming an All-Star player, and for Morant, the outside media did not give him enough respect.
Indeed, unlike players such as Zion and Barrett, who were already well-known in high school, Morant was unknown in high school, only a two-star high school student player, and even in his freshman season, few people knew his name. The main thing about him being able to become the top is to rely on his own efforts, and in the sophomore season, he let more people know who he is.
Although not optimistic about the outside world, after entering the league, Morant proved his strength with performance, and also proved himself to be the best player in the 19th class. In his rookie season, he uncontroversially won the honor of best rookie. In his second season, he led the Grizzlies into the playoffs. This season, Morant played his career best and became an All-Star.
So far in the new season, Morant has averaged 32.3 minutes per game, and he has been able to get 24.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.3 steals, shooting 48.6% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range, leading the Grizzlies to the top three in the West, and personally playing an All-Star performance. Morant is currently second in the Western Conference backcourt in the All-Star cast, behind Curry, and if morant is in the All-Star this season, there should be no controversial issue. At the same time, Morant is also expected to impact the regular season MVP this season, after all, his personal data and team record are excellent, the ball is very popular, and he is very popular with the media.
Now Morant, compared to the same year's Barrett, Zion and other players, he is in a better position, and some media have put Morant in the shortlist of MVP this season, comparing it to Alphabet Brother, Curry and Durant. At this age, Morant has already entered the MVP selection, which is enough to see how good he is now, and he has the talent to become the top point guard in the league.
Of course, in addition to the above five players, there are many young players who have played very well this season, becoming the rotation or core of the team. At present, the NBA has entered a time of replacement between the old and the new, such as James, Paul and Curry and other superstars, their age has passed 33 years old, the peak period will not be very long, and the future of the NBA will belong to younger players, who can take the class of these superstars, it is worth looking forward to.
