In the 2021-22 season, Brunson played the performance at the peak of his career, and his outstanding performance once made him an absolute assistant to Doncic's side, and his excellent performance made him the key to the team's entry into the playoffs.

Banchero was drafted by the Magic with the 1st pick in the first round in 2022. As a young star, in the 2022 draft, the Magic made a strange move to give up the scheduled champion Lang Smith and choose Banchero, who was once ranked behind, Magic's strange choice once caused heated public opinion, and in the 2022-23 season, Banchero withstood huge pressure and played a scoring feast in several games in a row, so that Banchero not only sat firmly on the identity of the champion, but also let the Magic see new hopes and expectations, so that he could become a justifiable champion.
In the 2023-24 season, Banchero's performance is still remarkable, with excellent personal ability and the attributes of a big heart, allowing Banchero to lead the Magic from a fish belly team to a giant team.
As a proven all-round star, Banchero not only won the best rookie, but also with excellent performance, so that the Magic after many years of dormancy, after Banchero joined, he led the team out of the trough, and is even expected to break into the playoffs stage, Banchero's excellent personal ability, as well as the performance of reading the game, have made the young star, continue to show strong personal ability, but also let him continue to become a young man worthy of favor in the future, Banchero's ultimate performance, not only let him prove his ability, but also let the Magic continue to improve their immediate combat power, so that this once giant team, is expected to be under the leadership of a new leaderto make it a dynasty team that has regained its moments of glory and glory.
2nd place: Holmgren, who is desperate for his life
Holmgren averaged 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in the 2023-24 regular season, shooting 53% from the field, 37% from the field and 79.3% from three-point range.
Holmgren was drafted by the Thunder with the 2nd pick in the first round in 2022. As a successor to Durant, Holmgren has excellent individual ability, but due to injuries that led to the reimbursement of the season, the young star was once suspended for a season, so that he could not fight with the same star, Holmgren's truce not only made him lose the competitiveness of the year, but also made the pressure to steal the position of the team leader, and also made the young man's return to the road become extremely difficult, bringing great uncontrollable factors to the young man's future road, and also making this young star who was once expected to be highly anticipated, because of injuries once became a very controversial young star。
In the 2023-24 season, Holmgren ushered in his return, after returning to the court, Holmgren not only plug and play, played an extremely good performance, but also once became a twin star who fell in love with Wembanyama that season, and the ultimate performance, as well as super physical talent, made Holmgren's return an important factor to help the Thunder play the first place in the West.
As a young man, Holmgren's transformation and evolution have become the key factor for the young man's continuous growth and experience, and I believe that over time, this young star will become a young star to be reckoned with with the Thunder, and the successor of Durant is expected to join hands with SGA to create a new prosperous legend of the Thunder, so that this once giant team is expected to realize its talent, play an expected performance, and is expected to be a blockbuster, and Holmgren will also become a key factor in the continuous growth and upgrading of this young team, becoming a superstar that cannot be underestimated, and even in the future。
1st place: All-around big man Downs
Towns, in the 2023-24 regular season, averaged 21.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 50.4% from the field, 41.6% from three-point range, and 87.3% from the free throw line.
Towns was drafted by the Timberwolves with the first pick in the first round in 2015. As an all-round big man, Downs has excellent scoring ability and all-round technical characteristics, which makes Downs very competitive on the court, but due to the soft style of play, he once made Downs a star with extremely poor ability to play tough battles, and even because of the weakness at critical moments, Downs did not play the expected performance, which made the superstar not realize his talent, and also became an important factor in the team's poor record, and even suffered counterattacks one after another, which also made this all-round big man once criticized and questioned because of his soft style of play, and also made Downs a flawed young star。
In the 2023-24 season, Downs once played at the peak of his career, excellent performance, and performance to withstand pressure at critical moments, which made this young star fully realize his talent, and also became an important factor for the team to achieve the top three in the West.
As an all-round star Downs's transformation, once brought new hope and expectations to the team, but also let the team under the deterrence of Downs, continue to play a giant competitiveness, this young team, also after many years of dormancy, finally out of the trough, become a real strong team, so that it is expected to rely on Downs's play, so that it can see hope and expectation, will also make Downs completely become the key factor of the team, but also let this star who played famous, continue to show the demeanor of a star, become a team absolutely not to be underestimated young star.
