With the end of the finale, this season's NBA regular season has come to an end, and the next teams in the league will enter the playoffs and playoffs. Looking back on this season, there are many players who have played performances that fans could not imagine before the start of the season, of course, there are good aspects and bad aspects of "surprise", so what are the surprising players like this season?
Ten: Presches Achuva
Last season, Achuva was selected by the Heat with the 20th pick in the first round, and in his rookie season, he averaged 5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, shooting 54.4% from the field, and his performance was decent. Since the Heat already have Adebayo in their possession, the Heat have no intention of cultivating Achuva and sent him to the Raptors in a deal over lowry in the offseason.
This season, Achuva, who is in the Raptors, has played a performance that has surprised many fans after playing more hours, averaging 9.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game this season, doubling both double the numbers of last season. More crucially, Achuva, who never shot a three-pointer last season, has been able to average nearly one three-pointer per game with 35.9 percent shooting percentage this season. In short, he has become a key member of the Raptors' inner line.
Nine: Robert Williams
In last season's playoffs, The Green Army's third-year rookie Rowe rose to fame when he scored a quasi-triple-double of 11 points, 9 rebounds and 9 blocks in his first game against the Nets, demonstrating his amazing dominance on the defensive end. In fact, when Theth left the team in the second half of last season, Lowe had already played very well.
This season, Lowe, who became the Celtics' starting point for the iron game, evolved into the core point of the team's defensive end, averaging 10 points and 9.6 rebounds per game in the quasi-double-double, and averaging 2.2 blocks per game is the second highest in the league. With his help, the Green Army reached the top three in the East in the second half of the season relying on defensive strength. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that Rowe will miss the first round of the playoffs due to a knee injury.
Eight: Jordan Poole
In the Warriors team led by Curry last season, Poole became one of Curry's best helpers, averaging 12 points per game and has shown a very good scoring ability. This season, Poole, who is only the third in the league, has averaged 18.5 points per game, shooting 44.8 percent and 36.4 percent from the field.
In addition to scoring this season, what surprises fans more is that Poole seems to be more and more like Curry in terms of playing style, in addition to stronger tandem ability, he can often change the situation of the game by himself and save the team from fire and water. When Curry couldn't play due to injury, Poole became one of the Warriors' most relied scoring points.
Seven: Desmond Bain
In the last season, as a rookie, Bain has already shown very good personal ability, although only the player selected at the end of the first round, Bane has been able to average 9.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game last season, and has become an important part of the team at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
This season's Bain is even more incredible, with an average of only 7 minutes per game, his average per game has reached 18.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists, including an average of 9 points per game compared to last season, and a three-point shooting rate of 43.6%. During Morant's absence due to injury, Bane became one of the leaders who led the team forward.
Six: Miles Bridges
Bridges, who still plays for the Hornets this season, is one of the strong contenders for the Most Improved Player Award, and after only 12.7 points and six rebounds last season, Bridges completed the takeoff this season, averaging 20.2 points, 7 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 49.1% from the field.
In the current Hornets team, although they have former All-Star Hayward, best rookie Ball and super scoring ability Rozier, Bridges has become the team's leading scorer this season. In the next playoffs and even in the playoffs, he will be the key to the Hornets' fate this season.
Five: Darius Garland
This season's Cavaliers can be said to have made all fans shine, at the beginning of the season they were in the top five in the East, although the team was plagued by injuries in the next day, including Rubio and Allen and other key players can not play, but they still maintain the eighth position in the East, still have great hopes of reaching the playoffs.
The main reason for this is Garland's outstanding performance, he averaged 21.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game this season, shooting 46.3% from the field and 38.3% from three-point range, and was named to the All-Star Team for the first time in his career.
Four: Dezhangtai Murray
Last season, Rimery had a very good season, averaging 15.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, shooting 45.3 percent from the field. Still, Murray has appeared several times in the rumors about the Spurs' trade.
But Spurs fans are thankful that the team didn't choose to send Murray away because of his shocking performances this season. This season, Rimery averaged 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2 steals per game and was named to the All-Star Team. After DeRozan's departure, Murray is now the spurs' new team boss.
Three: Julius Randall
As the team boss of the Knicks, who was named to the All-Star Team and the Best Team last season, Randall this season has once again become a player who has surprised fans, and this season he has not been selected because of his excellent performance, but because of his huge regression, which is extremely embarrassing.
Randall has been a huge disappointment to all Knicks fans this season, and while still able to get a full statistic of 20.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists, he shot just 41.1 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from three-point range. More crucially, he became the hero of the team last season, but now he has become a team tumor in the Knicks.
Two: Demar DeRozan
In the course of playing for the Spurs in the first two seasons, deRozan has encountered great doubts due to his own performance decline and the team's failure to reach the playoffs. During the offseason, he was also dropped by the Spurs to join the Bulls.
What many fans did not expect was that after coming to the Bulls, the 32-year-old DeRozan actually ushered in the second spring of his career, averaging 27.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game this season, shooting 50.4% from the field, and showing his super personal ability in key moments. With his help, the Bulls were able to return to the playoffs after years.
One: Ja Morant
Morant last season was enough to surprise fans, taking a step further after winning the Rookie of the Year, averaging 19.1 points, 4 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game and helping the Grizzlies re-enter the playoffs. And this season, Morant is still improving and has now become one of the league's best point guards.
This season, Morant averaged 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 57 games for the Grizzlies, and both shots have improved a lot, which is very rare. The Grizzlies have also ushered in a metamorphosis under his leadership, and have now locked in the second position in the West.
