The new season of NBA is still early, but what? Various discussions and heated discussions on this are still ongoing. For example, the US media Hoopshype ranked the small forwards for the new season. The complete list looks like this: 1. Kevin Durant; 2. Luka Doncic; 3. LeBron James; 4. Jason Tatum; 5. Paul George; 6. Jimmy Butler; 7. Chris Middleton; 8. Jaylen Brown; 9. Brandon Ingram; 10. Michael Porter Jr.; 11. DeMar DeRozan; 12, Gordon Hayward; 13, Jeremy Grant; 14, Mikal Bridges; 15, Norman Powell; 16, Andrew Wiggins; 17, OG Anunobi; 18 , DeAndre Hunt; 19, Evan Fournier; 20, TJ Warren; 21, Joe Ingles; 22, Bogdanovic.
From such a list, we can know one thing that the small forward that this US media is optimistic about is no longer James, but Durant. This is optimistic, there is no big problem. For James, age is still the biggest obstacle. For him, he was born at the end of 1984 and was almost 37 years old. Such an age is indeed not small.
So, his personal state, the state of offense and defense, the duration of the game,Wait, it's all declining. These are all natural things. Therefore, the number one on the list is Durant. Such a ranking is not very controversial. Because, the reality is like this, Durant is a more pinnacle athlete.
As for James? Ranked third. The results of it? The second place is neither Antetokounmpo nor Leonard . For Antetokounmpo, it is basically certain that he should be ranked at the power forward position, so, In the position of the small forward, he is not present. After all, Antetokounmpo is the league's number one power forward.
Similarly, second place Doncic is somewhat unexpected. Because in theory, he is a point guard. So why put it in the position of a small forward? An important reason is that Dongcic spends most of his time defending the opponent's wing players, so Dongcic is not a true point guard. From this point of view, Doncic is included in the small forward, it seems that there is no controversy. But, is Doncic really better than James? This is a matter of opinion.
Similarly, Leonard's failure to list is also controversial. The US media also gave reasons for this: Leonard may miss most of the games in the new season.It is not included in this list. In other words, Leonard failed because he may miss most of the game time due to injury, not because of his personal strength.
Similarly, in this list, we also see the previous 2 shooting guards, one is Butler _span _span Despan1 span4span, one ranked 6th and one ranked 11th. It can also be seen from this that the withering of shooting guards is also inevitable. After all, these players who played well are actually included as small forwards. Moreover, in the small ball era, they did indeed play at position 3.
The US media ranks small forwards, the first is not controversial, James only ranks third, and the small card directly loses the list. Personally, this list is basically objective. The only thing I have a bit of opinion, maybe Butler should be in front of George . After all, Butler led the team to the finals. George didn't do this. Do you think that?
