Among the six most potential stars under the age of 25, Shen Jing of the Rockets is on the list, and Huazi is only second

With James, Curry, Durant and others about to enter the countdown to retirement, the league is almost time to replace the old with the new, and this league has always had no shortage of talented young people. Like Jokic, Brother Alphabet, Embiid and others in the Mesozoic Era, they have all won a lot of honors now, and they are now at the peak of their careers.

There are also a lot of potential stocks among the younger players, and generally whether a player can become a star can basically be seen before he is 25 years old, and some players can even judge whether he can get ahead just by looking at his performance in his rookie season. The next six people are undoubtedly the most potential players in the league under the age of 25, and one of them is in the top three of the league in the future as long as he is not injured.

6. Shin Kyung (21 years old)

Season averages: 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals per game

With the rise of the league's big men, the small-ball era has come to an end, and the existence of Jokic and Xiaosa has also made people realize that centers are not only about eating cakes and defending. As a player who plays very similarly to Jokic and Xiaosa, Shen Jing has excellent low-post ball handling skills on the offensive end, and he also has a one-handed distance in the face frame, and his passing ability has a chance to reach the heights of these two seniors in the future.

Shin Kyung's pace of improvement this season has not disappointed the team at all, and he has taken on the burden of scoring despite the team's lack of attacking talent and quality, and he is now becoming more adept at using his influence to create chances for his teammates. It's a pity that Shen Jing suffered an injury at the end of the season, but fortunately, this injury is not particularly serious, and Shen Jing's performance this season can be regarded as completely laying the foundation of his team's core, and he is likely to usher in another outbreak after his comeback next season.

5.杰伦威廉姆斯(22岁)

Season averages: 19.5 points, 4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game

In 2022, Jalen was selected with the 12th pick in the first round, and although the draft pick is not particularly high, his talent and strength are obviously underrated. In his first season in the league, Jalen showed his all-round talent, playing a very considerable game impact with not much possession, and he also won the trust of the team with his own strength, and his tactical status has risen visibly this season.

Originally, everyone thought that after Chet's comeback, Jalen should become the team's third-in-command, but now that almost a season has passed, Jalen not only sits firmly in the team's second-in-command, but you can see that he still has a lot of room for improvement in the future. Jalen, who has a super high ball quotient and a big heart, has saved the team many times this season in key moments, and he is very comprehensive both offensively and defensively, and the current 22-year-old seems to have a real chance to become a top 10 star in the league.

4. Banchero (21 years old)

Season averages: 22.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists per game

In 2022, Banchero was selected by the Magic with the first pick in the first round, as a forward with a height of nearly 2.1 meters, his ball-handling ability is quite outstanding, and he is also very comprehensive on the offensive end, and some Anthony can be seen in him, both of them are heavy forwards, both of whom are biased towards individual scoring on the offensive end, and are proficient in three-point, mid-range, and basket offense.

Banchero has also improved dramatically in offensive efficiency and passing skills this season as he has taken on more of the ball, and his improvement has been crucial for the team in the absence of a core point guard. At present, the Magic is ranked fifth in the East with a record of 43 wins and 31 losses, this is Banchero's second season in the league, and this season he often plays according to the method prescribed by the team, which is also because the shortcomings of the team's lineup are too obvious.

3. Halliburton (24 years old)

Season averages: 20.3 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 1.2 steals per game

After Haliburton was drafted by the Kings, his talent was buried for a while, because Fox in the team was about to play at that time, so the Kings could only let Haliburton start from the bench. It was only after being traded to the Pacers that Haliburton's career changed, and he quickly developed here, and last season he was named an All-Star for averaging 20+10 per game.

At the beginning of the season, Haliburton had a strong individual performance, playing at one point at an MVP-level performance, and under his leadership, the Pacers became a historic offensive powerhouse. As a top ball handler, Haliburton's passing is one of the top three in the game, and he is likely to win the first assist title of his career this season. However, Haliburton still relies too much on three-point shooting in terms of individual offense, which is somewhat similar to Curry at the beginning, but fortunately he is still young, and when he enriches his personal offensive skills, he will be a real superstar at that time.

2. Edwards (22 years old)

Season averages: 26.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game

In 2020, the Timberwolves drafted Edwards in the first round, and because of the average overall quality of this year, everyone was not particularly optimistic about him at the time, but his performance after entering the league still made fans shine. Edwards, who is very physically fit, is very talented on both ends of the floor, and despite his young age, he plays very much like those veteran shooting guards, and he also plays tough on the court.

The key is that Edwards has shown a leadership and leadership temperament that Towns, another champion on the team, has completely lacking, and with his help, the Timberwolves have reached the playoffs for two years in a row, and Edwards has performed better in the playoffs than he did in the regular season. Edwards has basically locked up the top three spots in the West this season, and the Timberwolves will have to count on him to break out in the playoffs if they want to go further, and the 22-year-old has every chance to become the face of the league's new generation in the future.

1. Wembanyama (20 years old)

Season averages: 21.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.4 blocks per game

As the top pick in the 2023 draft, Wembanyama's name has been resounding all over the country before the draft, and most people are very optimistic about his future in the NBA.

Wembanyama was a little uncomfortable when he first entered the league, but he quickly adjusted, and as the season progressed, you could see his progress, and this learning ability was quite terrifying. Playing Wembanyama so far, whether it is offensive or defensive, he is already a quasi-All-Star level player, and on the defensive end, he can even hit the DPOY next year, and his ball-holding level on the offensive end can be said to be the only one among the big men in NBA history, and he has never seen a player who is fast 2.30 meters before can hold the ball on his own to launch an offensive and dribble after shooting three points, these skills have also greatly improved his ceiling, as long as he is not injured, Wembanyama can compete for MVP in three years.
