With the end of another season, a new season has begun, the teams have not only completed the draft, the new season of the summer league has begun, according to the latest performance of the 23-24 season, the American media "fadeawayworld" also selected the most powerful forwards in service, among which Paul George, who signed and then replaced to win a 4-year 212 million contract, is only in 4th gear, Durant Lao Zhan is in 2nd gear, and one person occupies the first gear.
Pot 5: Qualified starters (11)
Dream, Gordon, Kuzma, T. Harris, Kuminga, Portis, Jabari Smith Jr., Cameron Johnson, P.J. Washington, Sochan, Toppin.
Many of the players in this bracket were once All-Star level players, and Dream is one of them, but as they get older, their game influence has declined significantly.
There are also new stars such as Kuminga and Jabari Smith Jr., who already have qualified starting level and are expected to continue to improve their star rating and ranking in the future.
Pot 4: All-Stars (5 people)
Siakam, Paul George, Randle, Jalen Williams and Mobley
Compared to the previous bracket, these five players all play a central role in their teams, among which Paul George and Sika were once consistent All-Star players, and George was even once in contention for MVP, but as they got older, their positioning declined.
Jalen Williams and Mobley are among the best of the new generation of players and will soon become All-Stars as long as they don't keep growing.
Pot 3: Stable All-Stars (5 people)
Butler, Downs, Markkanen, Zion, and Banchero
The players in this bracket are not much different from the previous bracket, and they are all All-Star level, but they are more consistent, and the previous bracket is on the edge of an All-Star.
At the same time, they play different roles in the team, most of the players in this bracket are the absolute core of the team, except for Downs, the other four are the best players in their team.
And except for Butler, the other four players are all young players, and there is hope to further improve the level and ranking in the future.
Pot 2: Superstar (3 people)
Tatum, Durant and James
For most of their careers, the trio played the role of small forward, but with the advent of the small-ball era, the three began to gradually play the No. 4 position, and James and Durant could even make cameo appearances in the No. 5 position in the small lineup.
Tatum is one of the strongest players in the new generation of American players, and even if there is a shortcoming in the decisive moment, he is already the core of the championship team, a perennial MVP contender, and one of the best two-way players in the game.
James and Durant are representatives of the older generation of America's top players, the former is about to turn 40 but is still one of the best 20 or even 15 players in the current roster.
Plagued by fitness issues, James has struggled to dominate an entire series, but he's still a reliable 25+5+5 player who can play near-prime offensive performances in a single game.
Durant remains one of the best scorers on the roster after a major injury, while his defense is heavily underrated in the small-ball era.
First gear: The most powerful former in active service (alphabet brother)
There is no doubt that the top spot belongs to Brother Alphabet, who continued his absolute offensive and defensive dominance in the 23-24 season, averaging 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, and was once again selected for the first team while ranking fourth in the MVP race.
Even if he misses the playoffs due to injury, it is not difficult to see from the results of the Bucks' early exit in the playoffs that Brother Alphabet's huge influence on the game, combined with his top offensive and defensive capabilities, Brother Alphabet deserves to occupy a single gear.
