The 2018-2019 season has been hailed as a draft year, with many potential young players participating in the draft. The various verbal cannons and contrasts on the eve of the draft are also endless, but the new season has already started several times, and who of these young and vigorous rookies has performed more in line with expectations? Let's take a look at how these rookies have performed so far in the new season.
1. DeAndre Ayton
As the first show of the new season, Ayton is undoubtedly the one with the most attention. Ayton's performance in the new season showed his talent to the fullest. He averaged 17.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. The emergence of Ayton as a traditional center forward has brought some different expectations to the small-ball era, and with Devon Booker, the Suns' next game is undoubtedly very exciting.
2. Luka-Doncic
Doncic is the new season's flower exploration show, although in the draft ranking by Ayton a head, but Doncic's performance in the new season is not less than Ayton. Averaging 18.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in the new season, he has a tendency to become the Lone Ranger's number one star. The name of The European James does not seem to be in vain.
3. Trae-Young
The 11th pick of the new season was selected by the Hawks and immediately became the team's starting point guard. On the eve of the draft, several scouts called him the next Steven Curry, but the poor preseason performance made the fans half cold. Fortunately, in the regular season, Trae Young finally found his form, averaging 19.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists per game, including a big heart-to-heart kill. Fans who have seen that goal will surely find out, which is why some people call him the next Curry.
4. Malvin-Baglai III
The 2018 season's chart-and-ceiling show, relative to Ayton and Doncic'. Baglai's performance is a bit less than satisfactory, and he is also at a disadvantage in the showdown between the two potential rookies. However, despite this, Baglai's new season still has an average of 13.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, which is barely cashing in on the talent. But this is Baglai's first season and he still has a long way to go.
5. Colin Sexton
The Cavaliers' No. 8 rookie, before the start of the new season. He threatened to be the new owner of the Cavaliers, saying that the team could rush out of the East without James, but in terms of the current record of the Cavaliers and his performance on the field. Young people still have to do more and say less, averaging 11.2 points per game is not the strength to lead the Cavaliers into the playoffs!
The 2018 season's draft was generally a relatively high-quality one, but the new season only played a few games. There are still many challenges and opportunities waiting for these rookies in the future, whether it is a blockbuster or a surprise, let us witness it together!
