As a bench bandit, Hiro broke into the finals stage with the team at the beginning of his career, and his excellent scoring ability once won the honor of the best sixth man, but due to the reimbursement of injury seasons in the playoffs, Hiro did not play the competitiveness of Mr. 100 million yuan, and it made Hiro an embarrassing star, and he was once put on the trading shelf by the team, and also made this young star who played at his peak when he debuted, and after a period of experience and experience, not only did he not play the expected performance, It's also a down-and-out star.
During the regular season, Herro once played a phenomenal performance after feeling the urgency of being traded, but the limited intensity of the regular season also allowed Herro to have the opportunity and opportunity to explode, after the playoffs opened, Butler's injury made the Heat lose the aura of a dark horse miracle, but for Herro, it will also be the best time for the young star to show his personal ability, however, as the core star of the team.
Herro did not play the expected performance, in the face of the Celtics series, Herro's poor performance, as well as frequent iron, and even the status quo of being soft on the defensive end, made it an important factor in the team's poor record and even losing the series, although the lack of Butler and Rochier made the Heat Black Eight Miracle almost come to naught, but Herro did not realize his talent and play the expected performance in such an opportunity, so that the young star is still unable to prove his talent and strength on the playoff stage, Become a young star who can't afford to take on a big job.
Fifth place: Garland, who is embarrassed by the big task
Garland, in the 2023-24 playoffs, averaged 15.3 points, 4 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, shooting 48.7% from the field, 41.9% from three-point range, and 62.5% from the free throw line.
As a young star, Garland once played the best performance of his career in the 2021-22 season, but due to Mitchell's joining the team, Garland lost his competitiveness again due to injury, poor performance, and not good enough performance on the court, and even at critical moments, he couldn't make the right judgment, which made Garland completely lose his competitiveness after playing the ultimate performance, and his extremely sluggish performance, as well as his lack of outstanding personal ability, all made Garland completely exposed. It was once an important factor in the fluctuation of the team's record.
During the regular season, Garland continued to take an indefinite break due to injury, and after his return, he did not perform well enough, and he could not be compared with Mitchell, who was the latecomer, during the playoffs, Garland's performance was still extremely sluggish, and at the critical moment of G6, Garland not only made an eight-second mistake in the backcourt in the final stage, so that the team buried the ball once, and therefore handed over the game to others, once messing up Mitchell's 50-point scoring career, and also let the young Magic force the big score to a 3-3 draw at home again, In the battle of the seventh, Garland's continued sluggish performance, as well as his performance at critical moments, made Garland a dispensable down-and-out teenager.
Fourth place: Ingram who has nothing to show for himself
Ingram averaged 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in the 2023-24 playoffs, shooting 41.5% from the field, 40% from three-point range and 100% from the free throw line.
As a young star, Ingram's outstanding talent, and good scoring ability made Ingram once known as Durant's stand-in after his debut, but because of his drift in the Lakers and Pelicans, and he has never been supported as a super leader, Ingram has always been known as the team's second leader, but due to Zion's successive injuries, this young star who played confidently continued to play the expected performance on the stage of the playoffs, but due to the lack of Zion's deterrence, the young star, He was once a proud young star on the pitch.
During the 2023 playoffs, due to Zion's injury again, Ingram led the team single-core again, but due to the long-term absence of the team, Ingram failed to play the expected performance, not good enough performance, and sluggish performance, so that after the G1 bite game, he completely lost his competitiveness, and in the showdown with Alexander, Ingram's performance was also completely crushed by Alexander, so that the young star, not only did not play the expected performance.
更是让其成为一名可有可无的核心领袖，也成为球队一度被雷霆4-0横扫的重要因素，英格拉姆低迷的表现，以及无法挺身而出的战力，都让其成为一名可有可无的年轻球星，甚至终将成为一名扶不起的阿斗，无法在球队关键时刻挺身而出，拯救于球队危难之中，一个无法具备打硬仗能力的年轻球星。
Third place: Hachimura with high salary and low ability
Hachimura averaged 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game in the 2023-24 playoffs, shooting 39.5% from the field, 35.7% from three-point range, and 50% from the free throw line.
Hachimura as a highly mobile forward star, played for many teams in his career, played well in the Lakers last season, and became an important factor for the team to break into the division finals stage, excellent defensive ability, but also once made Hachimura a very competitive young star, but also let Hachimura win a 4-year 55 million contract in the offseason, so that this young star, after experiencing the drift of many teams, in the double giants, play worth and fame, Become a character player to be reckoned with.
During the regular season, Hachimura's performance declined slightly, but the overall performance was remarkable, and he could still play a certain degree of competitiveness, but after the playoffs opened, Hachimura completely disappeared, and his extremely sluggish performance not only made his deterrence continue to decline, but also made Hachimura from a 10 million yuan player to a dispensable star, and gradually lost his competitiveness, but also made the team's money-free deal, completely uncompetitive, and also made Hachimura a star who could not bear the responsibility and became the culprit of the team's loss.
Second place: Harris who gave up on himself
Harris averaged 9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in the 2023-24 playoffs, shooting 43.1% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line.
As a power forward, Harris has excellent personal ability at the peak of his career, and in 2019, Harris signed a 180 million contract, so that the sharpshooter once won a star value with his excellent scoring ability, and Harris also once became the No. 2 and No. 3 star in Philadelphia. Reduced to an embarrassing down-and-out star.
In the regular season, Harris's performance was not good enough, and the slight decline in state made Harris completely suppressed by Maxey, making the sharpshooter a dispensable existence, and also making the sharpshooter completely uncompetitive after a period of short-lived, after the playoffs opened, Harris's performance was still extremely stretched, and in the G6 series of life and death, Harris was completely uncompetitive, and his 0-point performance made him completely the culprit of the team's loss. It also makes Harris a down-and-out star with high and low new energy.
First place: Embiid, who is embarrassed by the big responsibility
Embiid averaged 33 points, 10.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in the 2023-24 playoffs, shooting 44.4% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 85.9% from the free throw line.
Embiid, as a superstar, has excellent skills and physical talents, so that Embiid can be said to be desirable in the ball penalty area, and has a certain outside projection ability, once known as an all-round big man, but because of Embiid's perverse personality, Embiid is extremely harsh on the stars around him, and after the team loses, he constantly insinuates, making his teammates bear the behavior of self-recognition, so that Embiid once became a star who did not dare to take responsibility, but also because of his poor performance at critical moments. Make him a superstar for nothing.
After the playoffs opened, Embiid as a whole was remarkable, despite the excuse of injury, but the weak performance at the critical moment still could not hide the fact that Embiid was not able to play a tough game, previously, Embiid's team had never broken through to the stage of the division semifinals, this time, in the face of the grassroots army Knicks, Embiid still could not give the ultimate response, even if there was an occasional 50+ scoring feast in a single game, but it still could not cover up Embiid's sluggish performance at the moment of despair, especially at every critical moment, the team relied on Maxey to continue his life, Embiid's irrational performance and lack of smart play have made the superstar the culprit of the team's loss.
Although Embiid's lethality on the court is still not to be underestimated, Embiid's deterrence at critical moments, Embiid and Jokic are still far apart, and his not smart enough to play, as well as too unique ways of playing, make Embiid unable to be compatible with his teammates, let alone carry the team's beam at critical moments. Compared with Jokic's absolute trust in Murray at the critical moment, Embiid still wants to decide the fate of the team by himself, and is unwilling to hand over his fate to Maxey and other stars who are better at playing tough battles, so Embiid's attitude to the game and his strange personality will be the initiator of the team's inability to break through to the divisional semifinals stage, and the key factor that has also made the 76ers unable to break through. Even the more unique style of play makes it an important factor for the team to fail to realize its talent and become a passerby.
