Evaluating a man, "soft egg" can be said to be the worst and worst evaluation, which is equivalent to denying this person! In the NBA, the same is true, the "soft egg" refers to those who, as the core members of the team, encounter problems to escape, or repeatedly teach, or can not take on heavy responsibilities at key moments. However, a few of them will also usher in a turnaround, and some even achieve metamorphosis, as if the golden cicada has shed its shell! Inventory of the top five players in the NBA this season who have torn off the "soft egg" label: DeRozan is on the list, and the first is simply a change of person!
Fifth place, DeRozan
DeRozan was the core of the team during the Raptors era, and although they achieved several top three achievements in the East, they never broke through the East. Lowry and DeRozan were ridiculed by fans as "trash brothers", and raptor management was bitter and traded the core of the team in exchange for the injured Leonard. However, in the same season, the Raptors won the championship, so DeRozan's public opinion became a condiment for fans after dinner. After 4 years of disappointment at the Spurs, now come to the Bulls, DeRozan deRozan has been selected as an All-Star starter this season, averaging 28+5+5 per game, making the Bulls who missed the playoffs last season a favorite to win the championship. Obviously, the 32-year-old DeRozan is admirable!
Fourth place, Cunningham
Let's take a look at the performance of Cunningham's first three points in the first three games this year, it can be said that it is unbearable! In the first game, it was 0 of 5 from three points; in the second game, it was 0 of 9 from three points; and in the third game, it was 1 of 7 from three points. On the pitch, it was clear that there was no ball, and the team's status was not even as high as Hayes. But as he got better and better, Cunningham gradually found the feeling of playing, and now he is averaging 17+6+5 per game, and it is almost appropriate to be selected as a rookie for a while! The author feels that Cunningham is a bit of a three-goal feeling now! The future development prospects are definitely better than Jaylen Green, let's look at the beginning of the season, almost no one denies that Cunningham is a parallel cargo!
Third place, Ayton
In fact, from last season's playoffs, Ayton abandoned the title of parallel importer! Ayton faced thick eyebrows, faced Jokic, faced Zubac, and faced Alphabet Brother, Ayton all played a brilliant performance. Ayton became the Sun's inner line barrier, and we also saw how weak the Sun's inside line was after Ayton suffered a foul crisis and after Ayton suffered a foul crisis! It also shows how important Ayton is in the team today! The author feels that if the sun gives Ayton a maximum salary of 207 million for 5 years, it will certainly not lose, compared to Alexander, compared to Little Potter, Ayton is more stable! If the team has enough ball, I think Ayton has a chance of being an All-Star.
Second place, Embiid
Presumably everyone knows that Embiid was beaten and cried, in the 19th Eastern Conference Semifinals, Leonard shot the ball in front of Embiid to send Embiid home. After the game, Embiid cried like a child, which also showed that Embiid was still in the same grade and could not lead the team further at the critical moment. For this reason, Downs always ridiculed Embiid because of his contradictions with Embiid. Let's take a look at this year's Embiid, averaging 29.9 points, 11.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and is expected to win the leading score and MVP. Under the addition of Harden, the 76ers as a whole look stronger, and I think the 76ers are also expected to win the championship this year!
First place, Towns
Starting with Wiggins, to Downs, with LaVine, this team has never made the playoffs. Butler hated iron and ran away from Minnesota. It gives people the feeling that the Timberwolves have always had talent, they just can't beat it! But this year has clearly seen the difference of Towns, and the timber wolves are now seventh in the East with 40 wins and 30 losses, and are expected to reach the playoffs. In addition to the previous average of 24+10+4 per game, Towns showed a tough side in the game, repeatedly ravaging the opponent's interior line at key moments. It is worth mentioning that Towns played a career masterpiece in a game against the Spurs, and got 60 +17 data. Anyway, today's Towns, giving people the feeling of changing people!
