The NBA's 2021-2022 regular season season has ended, all the data have been released, in addition to the scoring king, rebounding king, assist king, steal king and block king, the "full attendance king" is also worthy of praise and worth remembering.
Injuries, rotations, load management and other factors make full attendance extremely difficult, but some players are full of love for the game, never tired, even if there is an injury, they insist on playing, and the professionalism is admirable. With only five players full attendance this season, let's take a look:
Kevin Looney (Warriors)
Looney played in 82 games, starting 80 of them and coming off the bench in 2 of them, averaging 21.1 minutes per game, averaging 6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks, shooting 57.1% from the field and 60% from the free throws.
The 26-year-old Looney has a 35+ face, but also has a mature and stable heart, his athleticism and basketball skills are not outstanding, but he recognizes his positioning, does a good job of eating cakes and cover work, actively fights for rebounds, strives to protect the basket, and rarely makes mistakes, so that conscientious players are more likely to be trusted by coaches.
Looney signed a 3-year, $15 million contract with the Warriors in 2019, this season is his contract year, the annual salary is $5.37 million, the salary is not high, but he is willing to play with a shoulder injury, he said that "physical pain can be overcome, injury is not the end of the world", such a player how can not love, I hope he can still appear in the Warriors' player list in the future.
Dwight Powell (Lone Ranger)
Powell has played 82 games this season, starting 71 games, averaging 21.9 minutes per game, averaging 8.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting 67.1 percent from the field, 35.1 percent from three-point range and 78.3 percent from the free throw line.
Powell is a 108 kg interior player, there is no advantage in confrontation, but his bounce is particularly good, can rush to grab the second rebound, can make up for the dunk, when there is a top passer like Doncic in the team, must be equipped with Powell such a jumping inside line, he often cooperates with Doncic to complete the air relay, which is why his shooting rate is very high, he often works at high altitude, and it is not easy to maintain health and play 82 games.
Denis Avyadi (Wizards)
Avyadi played in 82 games, starting eight of them, averaging 24.2 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, shooting 43.2 percent from the field, 31.7 percent from three-point range and 75.7 percent from the free throw line.
Avyadi, the ninth-picked player in the first round of 2020, is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms, he is a space-type forward, able to pull up the outside to shoot three-pointers, but his three-pointer stability is not high, and his three-point shooting rate is less than 32% for two consecutive seasons. However, this is only his second season in the NBA, this season his statistics are excellent in the rookie season, and at the age of 20, he still has a huge upside, so he rushes to this full attendance, hoping that he can play a famous game.
Sadiq Bay (Pistons)
Bay started in 82 games this season, averaged 33 minutes per game, averaged 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, shooting 39.6 percent from the field, 34.6 percent from three-point range and 82.7 percent from the free throw line.
Bey, the player selected with the 19th overall pick in the first round of 2020, is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 97 kilograms, and is a strike-back swinger. He averaged 12.2 points per game in his rookie season, gained the trust of his coaches as a starter this season, and averaged 16.1 points per game, but shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate are declining, and he needs to improve the stability of shooting in the offseason and make his scoring more efficient before he can get a big contract after his rookie contract expires.
Mikael Bridges (Suns)
Bridges started 82 games this season and averaged 34.8 minutes per game, averaging 14.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, shooting 53.4 percent from the field, 36.9 percent from three-point range and 83.4 percent from the free throw line.
Bridges has played 2854 minutes this season, the most playing player in the league, he is the first "Iron Man" in the active duty, he has never missed a game in his career so far, and has maintained full attendance for 4 consecutive seasons, and the Suns awarded him the Marley Fighting Award in recognition of his contribution.
Bridges is a very promising player, he has a height of 1.98 meters, a weight of 94 kilograms, an arm span of 2 meters 18, a good arm span that makes him amazing on the defensive end, in the final period of the DPOY (Best Defensive Player) list, Bridges has risen to the first place, there is a chance to compete for DPOY.
He has also been outstanding on the offensive end, shooting more than 50% from the field for three consecutive seasons, more than 36% from three consecutive seasons, 42.5% in the highest season, and 50.9% from 50.9% from the field so far in his career and 37.4% from three-point range. The 25-year-old has become a good offensive and defensive player, and in 2021 the Suns renewed Bridges with a four-year, $90 million contract, which now seems too worthwhile.
Write at the end
Not every player is talented, not every player can become a star, those who work hard and silently contribute are also worthy of being known, worthy of applause and praise, maybe they can't become stars no matter how hard they try, but they are still full of love for basketball and the game, such players are much better than those who are talented but careless, ability and attitude are two different things, and players with good attitudes are always worthy of respect.
