Winner: Cade Cunningham

Cunningham has played in 64 games this season, averaging 32.6 minutes per game, averaging 17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, shooting 41.6 percent from the field, 31.4 percent from three-point range and 84.5 percent from free throws.
His performance at the beginning of the season was particularly poor, he missed many games due to injury, appeared on the field when the eyes were on the table, but often played bad statistics in N-shots, his physical talent was not explosive, and many people thought he would become the next parallel cargo. However, as the season progresses, Cunningham has a good performance in scoring, organization and defense, has scored 34 points in a single game, has also delivered 11 assists in a single game, his sense of rhythm is very good, and the maturity beyond the age of 20 years old, is a young man who can make the whole team better, and the future is still worth looking forward to.

Defender 1.98 m tall and 84 kg weight;
Green has played 67 games this season, averaging 31.9 minutes per game, averaging 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, shooting 42.6 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from three-point range and 79.7 percent from free throws.
Green has always been a player with high hopes, his physical talent is very exciting, the template is Jordan, some people have teased him "upper limit Jordan, lower limit Kobe", but the higher the hold, the more miserable it is, Green has a period of time also performed very badly, which is the only way for most rookies.
After the All-Star, Green played a very good performance, especially at the end of the season, he scored 30+ in many consecutive games, and was also elected the rookie of the month, he is the only player in this rookie to cut 40+, 8 times 30+, 26 times 20+, his physical talent, all-round technology and competitive spirit, all of which give him the potential to become a superstar.
Tanhua: Evan Mobley
The third overall pick in the first round was selected by the Cavaliers;

Mobley has played 69 games this season, averaging 33.8 minutes per game, averaging 15 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting 50.8 percent from the field, 25 percent from three-point range and 66.3 percent from the free throw line.
Mobly is tall and arm-length, athletic, able to protect the frame, protect the rebound, and has excellent performance on the defensive end. He has a wealth of scoring methods, the basket and the face frame can score, not a only by eating cake to score the inside player, he can hold the ball single, can also block the demolition, secondary attack and conversion attack, etc., his ability to respond is also very good, is a very comprehensive player.
Mobly's maturity is also relatively rare, he is very low-key, never bragged about himself, but quietly played a good performance, his performance is very stable, is one of the best performing rookies, very likely to win the best rookie award, he will become an important person to help the Cavaliers rise.

Barnes is a rookie with excellent offensive and defensive skills, he has a strong body, running and jumping ability is top-notch, can run without the ball on the offensive end, can also break through with the ball, can quickly complete the conversion of offense, has the ability to shoot, and the three-point shot is not a problem. Defensively, his height and arm span form a good barrier, and he also has a good sense of defense, can keep up with the defenders, and can also defend against the inside players, which is very useful.
Barnes has been in the top three of the rookie list this season and has been very consistent, ranking in the top five of the rookie player list in many stats and a strong contender for the best rookie.
Show Five: Jaylen Sargas
The fifth pick in the first round was selected by the Magic;
Defender 1.93 m tall and 92 kg weight;
Sagas has played in 48 games this season, averaging 27.2 minutes per game, averaging 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.4 steals per game, shooting 36.1 percent from the field, 21.4 percent from three-point range and 77.3 percent from the free throws.
Sagas is the worst performer in the top five picks, but also the player with the lowest sense of presence, many people don't even know that the player in the fifth pick of the class of 2021 is named Sagas, some people think he will become a parallel cargo, his average score per game is not high, the shooting rate is particularly low, and it is normal not to be optimistic.
In fact, Saggers is a very promising defender, fast, wide vision, good at breaking through, the ball quotient is also very high, but his Magic team is in the rebuilding period, there are many young players worth cultivating in the team, the same guard is Cole Anthony and Mark Fultz two high-quality young players, in this environment, Saggers is difficult to grow, he either plays a stunning performance to get attention, or he is lost in the crowd, or hope that he can play famous, do not want to see a second Okafor.
