Because today is the NCAA Finals, so today's NBA does not have a game, they chose to make way for the NCAA, in this time period we can look back at the stars of this season, some stars in this season's cliff-like decline, like Westbrook, Butler, the just comeback Clay also has no peak firepower, in the NBA is the same is change, the change of dynasty, the rise of new people is the eternal mainstream.
There are a lot of young players growing up this season, Barrett, Edwards have grown to the all-star level, and some players have changed from all-stars to superstars this season, the so-called league superstars are worse than Durant, alphabet brothers, these super giants, in the playoffs may not have super giants to score stable, but personal ability is definitely stronger than the average All-Star strength, today we will take stock of the players who have grown into league superstars this season.
Morant
Although Morant is only a third-year player, but his ability is very prominent, a bit of rose feeling that year, although this season has just been selected as an All-Star, but an ordinary All-Star is unlikely to lead the team to the second position in the league, and now the Grizzlies are the second in the league with a record of 55 wins and 23 losses, second only to last season's overall runner-up Sun, Morant's inexplicable breakthrough makes the opponent helpless, any superstar has a hand to make the opponent invincible, which is also the key to moving towards superstar.
Like Durant's middle shots, James, alphabet brother tank crushing, Morant now has the league's fastest first step, excellent killing ability plus innate star temperament, which also determines his future height, some players are good at playing hard battles, the harder the harder the fight, last season Morant averaged only 19.1 points, 4 rebounds and 7.4 assists in the regular season, but in the playoffs his average score per game came to 30.2 points and 4.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists, shooting percentage of 48.7%. The 32.3 percent three-point shooting percentage is better than in the regular season.
This season's Morant is even better, averaging 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1,2 steals, shooting 49.3% from the field, and the three points he is not good at have also developed to a shooting rate of up to 34%, because Morant's newborn calves are not afraid of tiger personality, and now the Grizzlies are also brought out of the team culture by him, even if Morant does not play, they can break their wrists with any strong team, relying on this temperament, the future Grizzlies are expected to become a top team, provided that Morant must remain healthy, He decided the cap for this team.
Doncic
Looking at Doncic's data in the past few years, he is indeed a superstar level, but the team has not broken through the first round of the playoffs for many years, coupled with its limited defensive ability, which has led to Doncic being more like a good all-star who can brush the data, and this season because of Kidd's cultivation and personal progress, This season's Doncic has grown to the league superstar level, even said to be the league's top ten level.
The biggest change in Doncic this season is that he has a better control of the game, often like to single opponent stars, now most of the stars are looking for the opponent's weakest defensive player point list to play, but Doncic is more fierce, is to single the opponent's top stars, so that not only can destroy the opponent's morale, but also consume the opponent's star's physical fitness, the defensive end is also dutiful, and now Doncic can be described as an attack and defense.
This season, Doncic can average 28.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.2 steals, shooting 45.6%, three-point shooting rate of 35.3%, in the offseason Doncic because of the weight of the increase, coupled with the change of the scale of blowing penalties, play is very inefficient, so many fans think that he is accounting for the dividends of the previous blowing penalty scale, and now after weight loss, Doncic has proved himself with personal strength, talent is impossible to be suppressed by the change of rules.
German Booker
If last season's Devon Booker is still a playoff rookie, a stunned youth, and this season he has completely grown, last season's Booker also had a ghostly performance, the attack can not be switched very well, and this season he is not only more stable and efficient on the offensive end, but also in Paul's absence, everyone also saw how good his organizational ability is, and as the team boss also knows to sacrifice data, let teammates play happily, this is all growth.
The introduction of Paul by the Suns can be said to be one of their most successful operations in recent years, because Paul's arrival has allowed young players to learn the experience and experience the intensity of the playoffs, and now after experiencing the influence of the Finals, Booker has grown into a superstar in the league, and with Harden now playing the No. 1 position, Booker's personal ability is definitely the league's top two-level point guard, and if he can raise the defense by another notch in the future, he will be more terrifying.
This season, Booker can average 26.6 points, 5 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 46.4% from the field and 37.7% from three-point range, and the successors of Kobe Bryant who were previously happy to be discussed, like Mitchell, Lavin and Devon Booker, I think that is, Booker has the hope of chasing Kobe's height in the future, the other two, one has no ability to lead the team, and the other has a star temperament, but the killing ability at key moments is too crotch-pulling.
Tatum
At the beginning of the season, because of Walker's departure, Tatum suffered the biggest defensive intensity of his career so far, which also led to his very sluggish offensive end, the pass was not good, and he could not handle the ball after being pinched, which also led to the Celtics being a team outside the Eastern Conference playoffs in the first half of the season, but as Tatum adapted and grew, he played at the league superstar level, and the Celtics' record also improved rapidly.
Now the Celtics have ranked second in the division with a record of 49 wins and 30 losses, pressing the Bucks and Bulls, Tatum is still offensive and defensive, he can handle the ball well when facing the pinch, and at the same time, under the high-intensity defense, his previous unstable dry pull and back have also improved in terms of efficiency, which is why many fans say that Tatum is very iron, but the media is very optimistic about Tatum's future.
He already has a lot of weapons in his arsenal, may not be used, but with the honing, he can use it sooner or later, and these moves are what many players can't practice in their lifetimes, this season Tatum averaged 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1 steal 0.6 blocks, shooting 45.2%, three-point shooting rate of 35.1%, this is still no growth data in the early stage, Tatum averaged 5.6 assists per game is very good.
DeRozan
DeRozan is a late bloomer, right? Although he has not yet reached the level of attack and pass integration, but his performance this season is easily reminiscent of Leonard, a variety of unsolvable mid-range, if it is not the team system, he may now lead the Bulls is still in the top three in the East, the main reason for the Bulls' recent decline in record is the lack of Injuries of Caruso, Brother Ball and others, although now Caruso is back, but the role of Brother Ball is undoubtedly more important.
DeRozan and Leonard need the same system to support, he can play his due strength, in the early part of the season the Bulls system is complete, DeRozan played the style of the king of the last quarter, but also by the fans jokingly called the contemporary Jordan, how good the performance should be clear, DeRozan also has an unsolvable killing move, his killing move is in the middle distance, whether it is a few people defending, as long as in the middle distance position can be military training!
This season DeRozan can average 28 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5 assists 0.9 steals per game, shooting 50.3%, three-point shooting rate of 35.5%, in the key moments deRozan is more efficient, at the critical moment of this season, he can average 4.1 points per game The third in the league, shooting 53.5%, shooting rate of 50%, the more to the key moments, the more fierce, in the Spurs training in the past few years let him throw away the heart disease, now it is a big instrument late.
