If you want to say that the player who has brought the biggest surprise to the fans this season, then there is no doubt that it is Morant. As a 19-year show, he pushed Zion to become the best rookie, but also met with some controversy, believing that just because Zion played a lot of games, he was not as good as the show in terms of strength, especially after Zion entered the All-Star in the second season, this tone was widely circulated. However, in this season' explosion, Morant averaged 27.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, helping the team enter the ranks of the Western Conference's top three. Morant made it to the All-Star starter and was hyped up for his regular season MVP.
Now that Morant is only 22 years old, is he really as strong as the fans think? Recently, the MEDIA in the United States also listed the performance of the four major stars at the age of 22. The four are Anthony, Kobe, O'Neal, and Durant.
O'Neal, a '92 winner, is considered the most transparent center, and by the time he was 22 years old, he had become a superstar in the league. Playing for the Magic at the time, he averaged 29.3+ 11.4 + 2.7 per game, becoming an All-Star starter and the best team.
And Kobe Bryant is the 13th pick in 96, although the pick is not high, but Kobe Bryant as a high school student, has a lot of potential, because he entered the NBA at the age of 18, so it was his fourth season at the age of 22, and the nagging at that time has slowly emerged in the league. Kobe Bryant averaged 28.5+5.9+5 per game that season, and eventually helped the team win its second title.
Anthony was a flower scout in 2003, and in the first season of his career, he was a bit of a light with James, and in his rookie season, he did something that James did not do, that is, to lead the team into the playoffs. At the age of 22, Anthony averaged 28.9 + 6 + 3.8 per game, and he fully demonstrated his scoring ability.
Durant was the best-in-between in '07 and is considered one of the most scoring players in history, having become a leading scorer at the age of 22. At that time, he averaged 27.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and then began his peak career.
Morant is indeed very strong, but compared with the above few people, there may be a certain gap, and in this era the team's average score is 10 points higher than 10 years ago. But being able to compare with the Hall of Famers has also proved Morant's strength.
