The preseason games of this season have started, and many rookies have begun to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. Of course, some of them performed amazingly and some did not perform as expected. Today, let us take a look at some popular rookies!
The top five picks have mixed performances. Who will really survive?
Cade Cunningham, the Pistons first-round pick, has not played because of an ankle injury. The 1.98-meter point guard has good shooting ability, strong rhythm, average athleticism, Kay Coach West is also looking forward to the early return of the No. 1 pick and adapts to the rhythm of the field in advance. From the data of the three games in the summer game, he averaged 18.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. The performance of the team's core point guard is still unknown!
And the second place Jaylen Green, the first show, handed over 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, 0 of 6 three-pointers, struggling performance at the shooting end, relying on excellent physical talent or how much Sub-highlight performance, but compared with the 20.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in the summer game, you still need to find your own sight on the shooting end! In addition, the thin body also made the Rockets fans sweat for him. After all, the NBA's confrontation is world-class, and there is a high risk of injury if you don't gain weight!
Compared with the top pick and second place, Tanhua Mobley's performance has been a bit sluggish since the summer game. In the Cavaliers, he has received a lot of mobile phone meetings and seeking perfection. It can be seen that the team also treats him. It is cultivated as a core, but it cannot be grasped when there is a chance. The offensive efficiency is very low. The 2 pre-season games averaged 27.5 minutes of playing time and can get 9 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assists and 2 blocks, but the shooting percentage Only a poor 38.9%. As an inside player, this shooting efficiency is not ideal. Obviously he has not adapted to a more intense defense, but Mobley still shows a certain potential on the defensive end!
Scotty Barnes with the fourth overall pick,He has shown his comprehensiveness in the summer league. Both offensive and defensive ends have an influential performance. They can organize offenses or use their height to widen their defensive space. They have 13 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 in the first show of the preseason. The all-around performance of steals and 2 blocks is similar to the data of the summer game. It can be seen that the performance of the fourth show is still very stable, but he still needs to improve his shooting stability!
No. 5 pick Jaylen Suggs, he averaged data per game in the summer league and showed the temperament of a team leader at a critical moment, but he averaged 2 games per game in the preseason The 5.5 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists do not match his No. 5 pick. I don’t know which link went wrong, but for a young and rebuilt team like the Magic, it will definitely give Sager. Opportunity to exercise!
amazing performance:
Jared Butler, the 10th overall pick in the second round of the Jazz, 2 preseason games averaged 19 points, 3 assists and 1 steal. The fans exclaimed that the Jazz really has a set of low draft picks, but the Jazz also took the risk to choose Butler. The mop who was once the ncaa semi-final fell out of the first round because of a heart problem. I don’t know that the Jazz is in the new Will this season give him a chance? After all, there are players such as Mitchell, Conley, Clarkson and so on in the same position!
Cameron Thomas, the 27th overall pick in the first round of the Nets, led the summer league in scoring, and averaged 27 points per game in 4 summer league games! In the 22 minutes of his preseason debut, he scored a game-high 21 points, which was amazing. He played with thick eyebrows and hit the fairy ball. The Nets used the end of the first round draft pick to find the baby! In fact, this year's ncaa is the strongest autonomous scorer. He has a range beyond the NBA three-point line and invincible self-confidence, as well as an excellent foul-making ability. I believe that in the star-studded Nets, Thomas will also get a lot of people. The true biography of the boss, the future is likely to be the darkest dark horse among the rookies of this year!
