Who is the most violent player this season? Is it Embiid, who is insoluble on the inside, or James, who is talking about teenagers? I think not, but last season's MVP Jokic, so far this season Jokic can average 26.1 points, 13.9 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.8 blocks, points, rebounds and assists are the top ten in the league, and it is worth mentioning that he is the first in the team in these five statistics!
If Jokic can keep the first of the pentathlon until the end of the season, he will become the first player in NBA history to do it, with excellent performance, and won several big honors, Jokic can complete a 5-year 241 million contract extension contract with the Nuggets in the offseason, this contract is also the highest contract in history so far, like Jokic's level of players, to win such a big contract, to be honest, it is not surprising, after all, he has this strength.
And in the offseason, there are a lot of young players who are facing the problem of contract renewal, how many of them can get the contract of the maximum salary extension? Let's take a look.
Morant
After playing this season, Morant has one year left on his contract, with his outstanding performance Morant should get a top salary extension, a player who can lead the team to play the top two in the first three years of his career, there is no reason for any team not to give him a big contract, and Morant is only 22 years old, but he has already played the top 15 levels of the league, which is rare in the history of the NBA, and the last one to do it is Doncic.
So far this season, Morant can average 27.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.2 steals per game, shooting 49.5%, three-point shooting rate of 34.6%, averaging 7th in the league, 14th in assists, 16.5 points per game in the league, yes, you read it right, this is a guard to do, strong as Embiid, Towns on the inside of the killing is not as fierce as him, the reason is that Morant has the league's fastest first step, can not prevent at all, and then he can force dunks under the basket, but also pull the rod , it's hard to defend.
If you haven't seen Pinnacle Rose play, I suggest looking at Morant, Morant's ability to lead and kill is no worse than Pinnacle Rose, and he plays more passionately than Rose, he is more like Fire, and Rose is a frost who can keep calm at all times, but even if the two have different personalities, they both have excellent leadership ability and exciting playing style, and the Grizzlies have found a good leader, which may be the most talented player in their team history so far.
Jaren Jackson
Maybe the Grizzlies have to face the troubles of happiness, when they decided to rebuild, the Grizzlies selected the talented inner line Jaron Jackson with the fourth pick in 18 years, a space-type 3D interior line, this season Jalen Jackson also played a very good performance, his ability to lead the team is also extremely prominent, so far this season, Jalen Jackson averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal 2.2 blocks, shooting 41.6%, three-point shooting rate of 31.1%, don't look at the data in general, Jaren Jackson's role in the team is irreplaceable.
Averaging the first place in the league, and Jaron Jackson's style of play is also passionate, during Morant's absence, Jarren Jackson led the team to play an 8-game winning streak, relying on his iron-blooded defense and toughness, for the Grizzlies he is more like a spiritual leader, and Jaron Jackson does not compete in the morant led when he will integrate into the system, willing to do green leaves, and Morant is not in his role as a big boss to lead the team to win, a bit of the taste of the little Gasol.
Jaron Jackson is an 18-year draft, last season because of the season reimbursement did not get an early renewal of the contract, the Grizzlies are also afraid that Jaron Jackson can not return to the peak, so it is delayed until now, which can also be understood. But I think Jaren Jackson may not get a super salary like Morant, and he will most likely be able to win a salary similar to the five-year 125 million salary of Collins last season offseason, with an average price of about 25 million.
Williamson Zion
The 19th champion, with a historical talent, Zion although this season still failed to play, but his talent is here, this is the biggest capital he can get the maximum salary, don't look at Zion to play less, his strength is obvious to everyone, as strong as the best defensive player Gobert and Alphabet Brother are on the inside line single defense can not defend him, one-on-one air confrontation no matter who it is, basically will suffer losses, speed and strength are too terrible.
Zion, who was in the second grade last season, was able to average 27 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.9 steals per game, shooting 61.1% from the field, 29.4% from three-point range, although the three-point shooting rate is not good enough, but he has shots, there is still room for development in the future, with the most top strength and bounce in the active duty, some players have won since entering the league, Zion is such a player, although there is no guarantee that he can play anyone easily, But there's definitely a guarantee that he's more relaxed than most players when it comes to scoring.
Zion is capable of getting the top salary, depending on whether the Pelicans are willing to give, and recently the US media broke that Zion did not like the city of New Orleans, and the Pelicans also put Zion on the shelves. It may be a problem in the small ball market, Zion does not want to develop here, or it may be because of Zion's frequent absences that discourage the Pelicans, but what the US media says may not be reliable, maybe they talk very well, and in the offseason, the two sides can negotiate a big contract.
Barrett
He is the 19th Tanhua, Barrett's improvement this season is very obvious, averaging 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists 0.5 steals per game, shooting 41.5% from the field, 35.4% from three-point range, even if Barrett has not reached the height of the same year's morant and Zion, but Barrett's performance has also been very good, especially recently, with his excellent performance, the Knicks have won 4 consecutive wins and are going to impact the playoffs.
Barrett in the third year of his career, he has shown a very good offensive skills, his turn, stop, retreat, etc., Barrett has a rich arsenal, although the middle range and interior killing are not efficient enough, but Barrett can do many players can not do things, this is talent, although it is very iron now, but the future to hone he may be the next Maddy or Kobe, after all, there are too many offensive means, the only thing lacking is stability.
In fact, looking at Barrett's overall performance this season, you may think that he is not worth a top salary, and I think so, but if you have watched Barrett perform after this season's All-Star, then you will definitely think that he deserves a maximum salary contract, after the All-Star, Barrett scored 20+ in 6 consecutive games, and scored 46 points in one game, Barrett does not have the talent of Zion and Morant Horror, but his arsenal may be the best of the three.
Garland
The 19th No. 5 show, the No. 4 show of the year is Hunter, now playing for the Hawks, Hunter estimates that it is difficult to get the top salary, on the one hand, the Hawks trained him as a blue collar, and Trae Young and Collins have taken the top salary, the team does not have so much salary space. Garland is different, perhaps the Cavaliers have premeditated, in order to give Garland a contract, they gave up a maximum salary contract for Sexton, who averaged 24 points per game, and a third-year student averaging 24 points per game is definitely worth the maximum salary extension.
But the Cavaliers are biased, they want a big core with the ball, not a pure scorer like Sexton, and in the end the Cavaliers chose the right one, Garland played the performance of the big core of the ball this season, averaging 21 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.2 steals, shooting 48% from the field, 38.4% from three-point range, Garland's template is Curry, but personally feel that he is more like Nash, his mid-range is more stable than three points, and he pays more attention to passing.
Garland has entered the All-Star with excellent performance this season, a third-year student to enter the All-Star is very valuable, looking at the past few years can do, that is, Morant, Zion and Doncic, from here we can also see how high Garland's potential is, maybe he will be the core of the Cavaliers' future rise, compared to the champion Irving, Garland is not as good as Irving, but the ability to lead the team is definitely better than Irving.
Tyler Hilo
The 19th No. 13 show, there was still an interesting thing about Hiro at that time, after playing in the summer league, the Thunder valued Hiro's star temperament and potential, so they found the Heat to ask for Paul for Hiro, Riley directly refused. For the Thunder's draft vision, everyone should be clear, and Riley in the past few years without a good draft pick, through the loss of the draft Taobao to win a few good players, Riley and Presti's vision will not be wrong.
And Hiro in the first season of the playoffs has an average of 16 points per game performance, very outstanding, this season became the sixth person on the team, the performance is even more outstanding, can average 20.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists 0.7 steals per game, shooting 44%, three-point shooting rate of 38.4%, this season Hiro won the best sixth person should not run, the key is that his strength can be competent to start, if given more ball, his performance will be better.
In the offseason facing an early renewal of Hiro, I think Riley may not renew him in advance, Hiro's performance is indeed worth the maximum salary contract, but now the Heat's big contract is too much, although Miami has money, but also can not let Riley so squandered, after all, now the team is not the championship period, Butler's top salary, Adebayo's top salary, Lowry's average annual salary is still about 25 million, enough heat headache.
