Although the playoffs have just begun, many top stars have already found their form, like Jokic, who played a dominant 27+20+10 in G2 against the Lakers, although the 76ers suffered two consecutive defeats, but Maxey also played a value-for-money performance in two consecutive 30+ games.

5 premium contracts played in the playoffs: the Pelicans' two cores are on the list, and Vincent is bitter for the Lakers!

CJ is one of the best backcourt players in the active league, he relied on his projection to play an average of 20+ per game for many years during the Trail Blazers period, and the Pelicans can score in the top eight in the West this season, and CJ's value is also indispensable, but why did the Trail Blazers choose to trade CJ away? The reason is that he can't play hard, and he can't be trusted in the high-intensity playoffs.

In the first game of the playoffs against the Thunder, although CJ scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, he used 22 shots in the whole game, which was very inefficient, this is not the first time CJ has played so badly, he has averaged 20 points per game in the playoffs so far in his career, but the overall shooting rate is only 43%, and the defensive end is often targeted because of poor defense, CJ's annual salary this season is 35.8 million, just look at the regular season he is worth this price, but he is really not worth it in the playoffs.

Ingram

In the past few years, Ingram will never enter this list, the previous Ingram has a good star temperament, and in the first playoff game in his career, facing the Western Conference champion Suns, he played an average of 27 points per game, but since this season Ingram has changed, he doesn't seem to be interested in winning, and he can't raise his attitude on the offensive end, because of this reason in the World Cup, Kerr directly let him play blue-collar.

In this season, the Pelicans can enter the playoffs, Zion is the biggest contributor, and Ingram just did the role of the organization forward, after the start of the playoffs this season, Zion was injured and absent, I thought Ingram could stand up, but his performance was disappointing, G1 against the Thunder shot 17 points and 12 points, and finally didn't dare to shoot directly, with an annual salary of 31.65 million, he couldn't support the name of the leader at all.

Bojan

After Bojan was traded to the Knicks in the regular season, he never got a chance, after the start of the playoffs, he was in good shape in the first game so he also got playing time, but G2 because of his bad state, Bojan was abandoned again, Bojan's ability is known to everyone, his projection is indeed the top in the league, but his problems are also very obvious, Bojan's movement speed is slow, and the defense will be targeted by opponents, so Thibodeau does not dare to use him often.

Bojan averaged 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game after the start of the playoffs, with a three-point shooting rate of 41.7% and an average of 2.5 three-pointers per game, which looks very good, but the overall shooting rate is only 31.6%, and the inside kill is even more unspectacular, his annual salary this season is 19.34 million, such a contract is definitely the existence of the team's starting level, but now Bojan can only serve as a substitute rotation, and his opponents will name him when he plays.

Vincent

Vincent had a 9-point performance at the end of the regular season, when the outside world thought that Vincent was finding the offensive touch, it turned out that this was just Lakers fans optimistic, Vincent's current performance is still not satisfactory, after the start of the playoffs Vincent showed a positive defensive attitude, he was even willing to jump to grab the ball for a ball, his defense has nothing to say.

But his offense is really bad, and he can't shoot when the opportunity comes out, so Ham doesn't dare to use him more, although you defend Murray well, but you can't score is too harmful to the team's offense, after the start of the playoffs, Vincent scored a total of 0 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in two games, and in the offseason the Lakers signed Vincent with a 3-year 33 million contract.

Hiro

Herro has actually been overrated in the past few years, he was able to reach the Finals in his rookie season because of Butler, and in the past few years, he was able to play an average of 20+ seasons per game more because he played as a substitute sixth man, and in this season's regular season Herro averaged 20.8 points per game, and his performance was similar to last season, it seems that Herro's ceiling is like this, that is, a player who is close to the level of a star, but I didn't expect that in the playoffs, his performance was even worse.

After the start of the playoffs, because there was no Butler to attract him to defense, in the face of the opponent's key defensive care, Herro scored 11 points on 13 shots, and finally he didn't dare to shoot, in fact, in the past two years in the playoffs, he was targeted by opponents and played badly, averaging 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game in the playoffs last season, and his performance was a blue-collar level, but he took the third highest salary on the team of 27 million, and Riley looked away.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these five players?
