This season's regular season has begun, the annual NBA league in addition to the focus of the championship, the development of players is also a discussion point in the mouth of fans, there will be veterans retiring there will be young people to go further, every year there will be a group of unknown players ushered in the outbreak of the season, such as the regular season, the finals double MVP of the alphabet brother is from the most improved player of the year step by step to today, leading the Milwaukee Bucks to win the championship again after 50 years, so that the small city also raised its eyebrows, Today I bring you the top 5 progressive players that I think will usher in a big explosion in the new season (in no particular order):
1. Michael Porter Jr. (Denver Nuggets)
Age: 23 years old
Michael Porter Jr. reached a high-priced contract extension with the Denver Nuggets before the start of this year's preseason, a five-year, $172 million contract, a contract of up to $207 million if selected for the best team in the new season, Porter Jr. this contract is guaranteed for $145.3 million, and the annual salary of $39.3 million in the fifth year is only $12 million guaranteed, and the rest of the contract is considered for honors achieved during the contract period, including All-Star, MVP, DPOY, The number of times the best team, the best defensive team.
Michael Porter Jr. is an excellent scorer, has excellent physical fitness, no ball running position is very sensitive, catch the ball on the top of the league, shooting is very efficient, there are not many players in the league whose offensive efficiency is higher than Michael Porter's, Michael Porter can score in the air, rebounding ability is also among the best in the front, but the defensive end Michael Porter's performance is not satisfactory, in fact, Porter's physical fitness is very good, not like a player with poor defense, but his defense last season was very mediocre, As the saying goes, rookies look at three years, this year's Michael Porter will usher in the third season of his career, although he was selected to this season has been four years, but because the first season due to injury reimbursement, so it should not be counted, this year to get a large contract extension of Porter is likely to get 20 plus scoring data in terms of scoring, at present, the Denver Nuggets only expect Jokic to impact the championship is not enough, Murray experienced serious injuries last season, Michael Porter new season must go further, help About teacher to share the pressure, Michael Porter has done a pretty good job scoring so far, and if you want to help the team in the playoffs, the defensive side must be strengthened, no championship team is not defensive, and the defense wins the championship, including his template Kevin Durant's defensive ability is also quite good.
If Porter continues to improve, it is very likely that he will be selected to the All-Star Team in the new season, and even in the future, it is very likely that he will be selected for the Best Team, Michael Porter is the X factor of the Nuggets, if Mr. Joo supports the lower limit of the team, then Michael Porter Jr. will be the upper limit of the team.
2. DeAndre Ayton (Phoenix Suns)
Position: Center
Ayton has not been able to negotiate a contract extension with the Phoenix Suns recently, Ayton feels he is worth a 5-year top salary contract, and the Suns are only willing to give a 4-year maximum salary contract to renew Ayton, Ayton is a brilliant young center, if Chris Paul was a key factor in the Phoenix Suns' progress to the playoffs last season, then Ayton is an important player for the Phoenix Suns to reach the Finals.
Ayton is notoriously clean in the regular season and doesn't like confrontation, but after entering the playoffs, Ayton was reborn, completely inferior in the conversation with the league's first center Jokic in the game against the Denver Nuggets, leading the team series to beat the Denver Nuggets, the Finals against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Los Angeles Clippers just in the Western Conference Semifinals with five small lineups gobert with a small lineup to play the league's best defensive player Gobert with a small stroke to play a big life can not take care of themselves.
And facing the Suns, the Clippers also came up with five small lineups to test the Suns, Ayton can not only keep up with the Clippers' small lineup on the defensive end, Ayton faces the Clippers' five small lineups on the offensive end, even if the Clippers Zubac, Ayton beat him, Zubac is also powerless, the Suns finally successfully reached the Finals.
At present, because of the outstanding performance of last season's playoffs, the new season is likely to give Ayton a chance to enter the All-Star team, Ayton is likely to prove that he is worthy of the maximum salary contract renewal, hard enough to prove his ability, at present, in the small ball era can keep up with the small guard center, but also with the offense to crack the five small players are really not much, Ayton is only 23 years old, his future is bright.
3. Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers)
Age: 21 years old
Garland was selected for the U.S. Olympic training team this summer, a manager of the league once talked about Garland in an interview, thinking that Garland will be a dark horse player in the new season, Garland has only played in the NBA for three years, but Garland is only 21 years old, Garland has excellent shooting ability, organizational aspects are also continuing to improve, in terms of feeding cake, there is a Cavaliers summer selection of the Tanhuaxiu Mobley and the young center Aaron who has just renewed his contract, but the defense is not very good, In the backcourt, it's time for the Cleveland Cavaliers to start establishing the core of the backcourt.
Obviously Sexton and Garland are completely behind in the competition, Sexton playing cancer occupies the ball, obviously a sixth-man play, Cleveland Cavaliers did not reach an early contract extension with Sexton, the Cavaliers can now fully support Garland as the core of the backcourt, Sexton can be traded away in the middle, if Garland is equipped with a 3D backcourt plus Mobrialen, the Cavaliers will go further than the current strength!
4. Miles Bridges (Charlotte Hornets)
Milesbridges did not reach a contract extension with the Charlotte Hornets, the current 23-year-old Bridges is an excellent reinforcement target for the Tanks team, Bridges has an explosive bounce ability, excellent first step, his strength is also quite good in the front, Bridges shooting is also continuing to improve, last season's three-point shooting rate reached 40%, defensive end, Miles Bridges can also defend multiple positions, his lateral movement is very good, Bridges, 23, is clearly missing his ceiling, has a chance to be named to the All-Star Team in the future, and failing to reach an early contract extension with the Charlotte Hornets will give him extra motivation to prepare for an explosive season.
5. Jordan Poole (Golden State Warriors)
Age: 22 years old
Poole performed very well in preseason this year, the offensive efficiency is among the best, Poole made Warriors fans feel that he is another Curry, although it is a joke, but it proves how good his preseason performance is, Kerr trusts Poole and lets him temporarily replace the position of Buddha, Poole opener against the Los Angeles Lakers led by Zhan Mei, Poole showed his ability in the moment of chasing points, proving that his preseason performance is not short-lived, and Poole's defensive ability is not very good at present. If Poole can strengthen the defense, it will be a very good player, and if Buddha returns, Poole can become the Warriors' super sixth man.
