With the official release of this season's best team list, we can clearly see that the league has basically completed the handover of the old and the new, among which only the three 30-year-old players James, Durant, Curry, and thick eyebrows have been selected. In the best group that everyone is looking forward to, all 5 players are not over 30 years old, but Jokic and Brother Alphabet, as representatives of the Mesozoic Generation, are expected to catch up soon with the young players behind them.

For example, Alexander and Doncic, who are also selected for the first team, can be said to be the best guards in the league at the moment, and they are both only 25 years old at present. With Alexander and Doncic both being named to the All-Match Team in a row, which helps them open up the designated veteran contract extensions, they will also be eligible to sign their parent team with a super-max salary in the 2025 offseason. Alexander can get up to 294 million for 4 years, and Doncic can sign the largest contract in history for 5 years and 346 million.

On Alexander's side, he was a player who was very favored by the Thunder as early as the Clippers, and later after George requested a trade, they also named the Clippers to put Alexander in the trade. After coming to the Thunder, the team also quickly established Alexander as the core of their team, so his average data per game that year also rose from 10+2+3 in the previous year to 19 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists, and Alexander also helped the team reach the playoffs.

In the 2022-2023 season, he ushered in another "evolution", he played the first season of his career averaging 30+ per game, and also averaged 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1 block per game, and his shooting percentage exceeded 50%. This year, Alexander fully showed the outside world his ability to play indiscriminately, relying on excellent rhythm control, he is very good at tearing apart opponents' defenses with breakthroughs, which is one of the reasons why he can always stand on the free throw line.

Under Alexander's leadership, the Thunder had a chance to make the playoffs last year, but they failed to do so due to the overly deformed roster. However, for Alexander personally, this season is still a big gain, not only to fame, but also to be selected as an All-Star and the best team, because of his outburst, more fans have begun to pay attention to him and the Thunder.

Alexander has taken on more responsibility on the court this season, not only as the team's first attacker, but also as a playmaker, and he has lived up to the Thunder's expectations of him. In the regular season this season, Alexander averaged 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2 steals per game, shooting 53.5% from the field.

The most important thing is that under the leadership of Alexander, the Thunder completely changed their face, they successfully entered the playoffs as the first in the West in the regular season, and swept the Pelicans in the first round, although they lost to the Mavericks in the end, but this season is undoubtedly a success for both Alexander and the Thunder, Alexander was not only selected to the All-Star and All-Star team again, but his performance in the playoffs also proved that he deserves to be in the top five in the league, and the Thunder also proved that their team-building ideas were successful.

With Alexander's style of play and strength, he will undoubtedly become one of the faces of the league in the future, he only needs one step now, which can be elected as the regular season MVP, or it can be said to lead the Thunder to win the championship, relatively speaking, it is more "easy" for Alexander to get the MVP today, and he is second only to Jokic in the selection of the regular season MVP this year, so he will definitely have a great chance next year.

Doncic, although he and Alexander were the same draft picks, he obviously made a name for himself earlier than the latter. In the second season of his career, Doncic was selected as an All-Star and the best team with an average of 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1 steal per game.

In the following seasons, Doncic was basically able to occupy a spot in the best team, and also last season, he also ushered in an explosion, averaging 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8 assists per game, which was also the first season of his career with an average of 30+8+8 per game, but unfortunately the Mavericks failed to make the playoffs in the end, which also made his selection into the best team this time a lot of doubts.

Fortunately, Doncic led the Mavericks back strongly this season, and he is still improving, averaging 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the regular season, including career highs in points, assists, and steals. In order to better help the team, Doncic greatly improved his three-point shooting ability, so he set a new career high in both production and efficiency during the regular season.

However, even with Doncic's best performance of his career, he still hasn't received much attention, and it seems that even fans are used to his inexplicable play in the regular season. Under Doncic's play, the Mavericks returned to the playoffs as sixth in the East, after defeating the Thunder 4-2 in the first round, and in the head-to-head matchup with Alexander in the second round, Doncic's individual performance was not particularly stable, but the team was still in danger to advance.

Doncic's injuries have affected him too much throughout the playoffs, with a serious knee injury that makes it more difficult for him to attack the rim, and when shooting, a knee injury will definitely cause him to have problems such as not being able to develop his power smoothly. So far, Doncic's playoff performance has actually not been as good as the previous ones, and his average of 27.7 points per game is also a new low in his playoff career, and his offensive efficiency is not very efficient.

However, this does not mean that Doncic is not a top star in the league, and when it comes to the most critical time, the Mavericks can only count on him to play at a supergiant level with an injury. In the battle against the Clippers, Doncic scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, and sent the Thunder home in the sixth game, Doncic scored a big triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and G1 against the Timberwolves in the Western Finals, Doncic scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists again, and scored one after another at the critical moment of the game to directly kill the game and lead the team to the next city.

For now, Doncic is still in the leading trend among the younger generation, whether it is in terms of personal honors or in terms of ability to lead the team, he is one of the best in the league. If Doncic really has a chance to lead the team to win the championship this year, then his status in the league will also rise, and then he will have a chance to compete with Jokic and others for the position of the first person in the league.
