American media posted the ranking of football stars: Paul fell 55 places the most, and Wagner Jr. soared 50 places the most

Recently, CBS announced the ranking of the top 100 players in the new season, which caused heated discussions. They then interpreted the top 5 of the 100 players who rose and fell the most. Compared to before the start of last season, Magic rising star Wagner Jr. soared 50 places in the ranking, making it the biggest gain, while Warriors recruit Paul dropped 55 places and was the biggest decline.

The 5 players with the biggest increase -

1. Little Wagner (up 50 places from 97 to 47)

Wagner Jr. helped Germany win gold at the FIBA World Cup and was named Player of the Match in the final against Serbia. He is expected to be a candidate for the most improved player next season. Last season, he averaged 18.6 points per game and shot 48.5 percent from the field, shooting and breaking efficiently and with the potential to get better.

2. Fox (up 38 places from 57 to 19)

Fox won Key Player of the Year last season and was named to the All-Star and All-NBA teams for the first time, leading the Kings back to the playoffs for the first time in 16 years. The Kings created the highest offensive efficiency in league history, thanks in large part to Fox's performance. The data shows that his scoring efficiency at the basket ranks first among guards, and the breakout speed is beyond the reach of most defenders.

3. Porzingis (up 37 places from 86 to 49)

Last season with the Wizards, Porzingis regained his value and also attracted the Celtics to acquire him in the offseason via trade. The rise in the rankings is partly due to Porzingis' performance, and partly to his improved fitness, with him playing 65 games, the highest since the 2017-18 season. He is efficient on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and while his scoring numbers may drop in the Green Army, playing with Tatum and Brown may further improve his efficiency.

4. Grand Lopez (up 34 places from 84 to 50)

With only 13 games played in the 2021-22 season, expectations for Da Lopez were low before last season, but in the 2022-23 season, his efficiency was quite good, not only playing 78 games, but also averaging 15.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, strong mid-range shooting ability, and one of the best basket guards. As long as he stays healthy, he can continue to play an important role with the Bucks this new season.

5. Brunson (up 33 places from 60 to 27)

Brunson exceeded expectations last season, and the stocky point guard was able to create plenty of shooting space. He was a natural leader, and after leaving Doncic, he found his place in the Knicks, averaging 24 points and 6.2 assists per game. In the new season, he is expected to go one step further and help the Knicks reach the playoffs again.

The 5 players with the biggest declines -

1. Paul (down 55 places from 18 to 73)

In the 2021-22 season, Paul averaged 10.8 assists per game, becoming the league's assist leader, which is the main reason why he was ranked 18th before the start of last season, but in the 2022-23 season, Paul's performance declined significantly, especially in the playoffs, averaging 12.4 points per game, a career low. He was also traded by the Suns to the Wizards and eventually joined the Warriors. With less responsibility in the Warriors, perhaps the 38-year-old Paul will rejuvenate himself and punch the ranking.

2. Lowe (down 38 places from 56 to 94)

When Lowe is fully fit, he is one of the league's best basket guards, as evidenced by his 2.2 blocks per game in 2021-22, and he is a very aggressive front-board player with strong cutting and open catch ability. However, his offensive ability is still relatively limited, playing only 35 games last season due to injury, and with the arrival of Porzingis, his time may drop further and there is a potential trade.

3. McCollum (down 31 places from 39 to 70)

McCollum can make a positive impact on the offensive end, but the defensive performance is worrying. With Zion and Ingram returning from injury, McCollum's role is expected to diminish.

4. Gobert (down 26 places from 29 to 55)

Gobert's first season with the Timberwolves, the numbers have fallen across the board, he still has the ability to double-double, and the defense is no problem, but the Timberwolves pay too high a trade chip, which makes people expect a lot of him. Gobert proved too negative on the Timberwolves' offense, and neither he nor Towns was the player around which the Timberwolves should build. Edwards has proven that he is the real centerpiece.

5. Middleton (down 23 places from 23 to 46, down 23 places)

Middleton had another injury-ridden season, and while a three-year, $102 million contract kept him in Milwaukee temporarily, there is reason to suspect that Middleton from the Bucks' championship days will never return. If his offensive threat is far less than it once was, the Bucks' chances of winning the championship will be greatly affected.
