The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. In an era when big contracts are flying everywhere, contracts that cost tens of millions of dollars are everywhere. NBA As a business alliance, strength is always complementary to salary. This is a recognition of ability and a way for players to realize their own value.
Today, a list of the five young talents who are expected to win a contract in the new season.
No. 5: Rising star Maxi
Maxi, averaged 17.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in the regular season of the 2021-22 season, 48.5% shooting percentage, 42.7% three-point shooting percentage, and 86.6% free throw shooting percentage.
Macey was selected by 76ers in the first round of 2020. As a very talented young man, Maxi has super scoring ability and athletic talent. In the 2021-22 season, after Simmons refused to play, Rivers boldly activated the new player and promoted Maxi from the bench to the starter. Maxi plug and play, using outstanding performance to prove Rivers' keen eyes and prove his own value with his outstanding performance, and was once promoted to the team's third scorer .
playoffs , Maxi also showed the potential of a big heart. After Embiid was injured in , he took on the team and even completely crushed Harden and Harris . The number one scorer in team showed his psychological quality of fighting tough battles and his outstanding scoring ability. During the playoffs, Maxi averaged 20.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists. In the extremely intense playoffs, Maxi's data rose instead of falling, showing the extraordinary performance of this young man, and even had the potential and ability to withstand stress of a phenomenal player.
2022-23 season, Maxie once again continued her good form last season. In the absence of a king combination, Maxie almost beat the three giants of Nets and with her own strength, helping the team to easily defeat their opponents and achieve a good start in the new season. Maxie only played for 13 minutes in the game, but efficiently scored 20 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, with shooting percentage in 6/8 and three-point shooting percentage in 2/4, perfectly interpreting the data performance of superstars .
Although the performance in the preseason does not tell everything, it can at least prove that Maxie is extremely outstanding in competitive state. As a young player who is still holding a rookie contract, Maxi has gradually grown into an indispensable super scorer for the 76ers. I believe that after the end of the new season, Maxi is likely to receive a large contract worth hundreds of millions, and this is also the return Maxi deserves.
fourth place: Bain with gorgeous turn
Bain, averaged 18.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in the regular season of the 2021-22 season, 46.1% shooting percentage, 43.6% three-point shooting percentage, and 90.3% free throw shooting percentage.
Bain was selected by Celtics in the first round of 2020. As a bench gangster who averaged only 9.2 points per game last season, Bain is like a flash of lightning this season, passing through the night sky of Memphis . Bain also conquered Memphis with his outstanding talent and ability, and once became the most trusted teammate around Morant .
As an unknown bench bandit, Bain, a second-grade man, has transformed from no one to a household name with his talented and bold momentum. As a young star, Bain has outstanding team leadership ability and big heart attributes. During the regular season, after was injured in Morant and Dillon's condition fluctuated, the team once relied on Bain to support him alone. In the absence of Morant, he led the young Grizzlies, overwhelming the powerful men and locked in the second place in the West, .
During the playoffs, facing the same talented Timberwolves in the first round, Bain once took the lead and bought a huge amount of time for Morant to find his state. His explosive performance also brought a huge sense of oppression to the Timberwolves. Even in the semi-finals, Bain led the team to continue to counterattack the Warriors in the absence of Morant, causing huge trouble for the Warriors.In the playoffs, Bain averaged 18.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Facing the playoffs with greater defensive intensity and more targetedness, Bain continued to be as stable as a rock and completed all the work outstandingly.
As the core competitiveness of a young team, Bain, who holds the rookie contract, has quietly surpassed Dillon in some fields, and has become the second leader in the team. In time, this young man who is facing a reverse growth will not only have a surge in his net worth, but also hopes to become the next All-Star player of the Grizzlies after Morant, and is even expected to join forces with Morant to help the Grizzlies regain their past glory and glory .
Third place: The Son of the Chosen Edwards
Edwards, averaged 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in the regular season of the 2021-22 season, 44.1% shooting percentage, 35.7% three-point shooting percentage, and 78.6% free throw shooting percentage.
Edwards was selected by the Timberwolves in the first round in 2020. Edwards has solid basic skills and outstanding physical fitness. As a defender, Edwards has the physical talent of the forward line and amazing bounce ability. He is a young player with extremely strong offensive end. Edwards has outstanding talent and obvious speed advantage on the defensive end. He is a very potential defensive player .
Edwards started his NBA career in 2020. As the No. 1 pick, Edwards was also highly expected when he debuted. Edwards' performance was worthy of this sustenance, but his poor decision-making ability at critical moments and unstable three-point shooting once became Edwards' biggest weakness. In the season, Edwards played 72 games for the team, averaging 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game, but the overall score Edwards still lost to the same class of Tanhua Show Ball , missing the best rookie .
2021-22 season, Edwards continued to grow. Not only did he gradually improve his shooting stability during the regular season, but his decision-making ability was also gradually improving. Although Edwards did not produce a huge chemical reaction in the cooperation with Russell , this did not affect Edwards' gradually growing personal ability and team leadership ability. After a period of running-in period, the team also successfully entered the stage of the playoffs with the three musketeers.
During the playoffs, Edwards, who entered the playoff stage for the first time in his career, was full of challenges and expectations. When facing the Grizzlies, who were second in the regular season in the Western Conference, Edwards had no discomfort and sense of incongruity. Even in the playoff stage where the intensity suddenly increased by dozens of times, he became more and more at ease. Edwards' strong impact also gave the Grizzlies a huge threat and almost staged a Black Seven Miracle. In 6 games, Edwards averaged 25.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3 assists, 45.5% shooting percentage, 40.4% three-point shooting percentage, and 82.4 free throw shooting percentage. Not only did all the data suddenly soar, but the shooting percentage was also continuing to increase, showing the transformation and extreme growth of this second-year freshman.
As a second-year freshman with a rookie contract, Edwards has gradually shown his strength. Even during the playoffs, Edwards' performance has surpassed the team leader Downs . In addition to his outstanding scoring ability, Edwards' explosive physical talent will also become a weapon for this young man to go all out. In the new season, Edwards, who has been in the league for three years, is also very likely to receive a maximum salary contract that is renewed early. This young man with both talent and skills is very likely to break out a new world in the future. Join forces with Towns to fulfill the long-standing wish that Wolf King Garnett did not achieve, and lead the Timberwolves to open a new era.
second place: Tanhualang three-ball Ball
LaMelo Ball , averaged 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game in the regular season of the 2021-22 season, 42.9% shooting percentage, 38.9% three-point shooting percentage, and 87.2% free throw shooting percentage.
Baul was selected by Mr. Qiao's Hornets in the first round of 2020.As the third brother of the Ball family, Lamelo inherited his father's basketball talent. Not only is he outstanding in athletic ability, he has a high court, but his creativity on the court is also amazing. He can often make incredible moves, which will amazed the whole game. As a defender, Ball has extremely strong ball control and passes, and has elite skills. Compared with his brother Langzo Ball, the three-ball shooting stability is stronger and the aggressiveness is also more outstanding.
2020-21 season, three goals started their NBA career. As the third son of goals father , Ball is also talented, especially in point guards, and his novice three goals have already shown his strength. In March 2021, in the game against the Kings, Ball once again showed his all-round style and creativity. not only frequently gave teammates a stunning pass, but also showed his outstanding scoring ability. In the whole game, he played three goals for 30 minutes, scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists in the game, perfectly interpreting the performance of the double-athlete guards.
In the season, due to injuries and other problems, Lamelo Ball played 51 regular season games for the Hornets, averaging 28.8 minutes per game, scoring 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game. Although his scoring performance was not as good as No. 1 scorer Edwards, Ball's control on the court and his comprehensive ability to move freely was slightly stronger than Edwards. In the selection, Ball scored a total of 465 points in 100 votes with a full score of 5 points, crushing all living beings with an absolute advantage, becoming the third best rookie in the Hornets history, and successfully selected the first team of the best rookie .
2021-22 season, Ball continued to grow, and his control over the court and overall view were becoming more stable and sophisticated as he gradually improved his competitive state. In the game against the Rockets, Ball scored 19 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal in the whole game, showing a dominant all-round performance of superstars such as Harden, Westbrook and . On February 8, 2022, Ball entered the All-Star substitute with his outstanding performance and became the fourth youngest player in history to play in the All-Star Game.
As the focus of training target for the Hornets, Boss Qiao also attaches great importance to and appreciates this very creative young man. It is reported that after entering the offseason, after the Hornets broke out in Bridges , the young man has completely lost the Hornets' trust, and he may not recover even if he returns. Not only that, Hornets once cut the team's average average game. The old defender Rocher, who is next 19+, is put on the trading shelf of . The Hornets' intention to do this move is extremely obvious. He sent Rocher away to make way for Ball. It can be seen that the boss of Qiao recognizes and trusts for three goals. It seems that , I believe that after the end of next season, Ball, who can renew his contract in advance, will definitely receive an exciting maximum salary contract. This All-Star player will also be expected to become the next generation of Queen Bee of the Hornets and lead the young Hornets to embark on a new journey.
First place: Counter-growing bench bandit Poole
Poole, averaged 17 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in the 2021-22 playoffs, 50.8% shooting percentage, 39.1% three-point shooting percentage, and 91.5% free throw shooting percentage.
Poole was selected by the Warriors in the 28th pick in the first round of 2019. As a dual-sports guard player with both shooting and organizational skills, Poole has outstanding athletic ability, and has the ability to shoot for extremely long three-pointers. He was once known as the vanguard of the Warriors in siege. Poole is also an important contributor to the Warriors' 2021-22 season and is the future leader that the Warriors strive to train.
Poole entered the NBA league in 2019. This season was also the first season of the Warriors' dormant period after they suffered a Waterloo in the Finals. As a scorer guard, Poole played 57 games for the Warriors that season, starting in 14 games, and averaged 8.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. As a young player with a not-too-high pick, Poole's performance has achieved its set goals and has also shown good scoring potential.
2020-21 season, Curry ushered in an explosion, and the team also obtained the health care Brother Wiggins and Russell's departure. For Poole, he will also have more opportunities to show himself. In the season, Poole played 51 games for the team, averaging 12 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. His scoring ability has suddenly improved compared to last season. Poole gradually adapted to the intensity and rhythm of the NBA.
2021-22 season, Thompson returned from injury, this was the absolute hero who once won the Warriors' championship, the team's top sharpshooter, Klay 's return had an impact on Poole in a certain sense, and Poole also became the team's absolute offensive core player, but after a brief adjustment, Poole continued to play the bench performance. In a certain stage, Poole's offensive performance was second only to Curry, completely crushing Wiggins and Clay, becoming the team's absolute offensive core player. In the regular season, Poole improved his attendance rate, played for the team 76 regular season games, started 51 games, averaged 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, and all data reached a career high. Poole also ushered in the peak of his career .
During the playoffs, Poole continued his peak state. In the first round of the game against Nuggets , Curry recovered from his injuries and found his state by playing as a substitute. As the starter, Poole once assumed most of the team's offensive pressure and perfectly withstand the pressure, accumulating a lot of physical fitness for Curry and laying a certain foundation for the team to win the championship. During the finals, Poole's overall performance was also excellent. His iconic three-pointer once played a decisive role in the team's victory. In the G6 game, Poole, as a substitute, scored 15 points, played the role of the bench again, becoming the key gentleman on the bench, and also helped the team win the cup again after 4 years. Poole, as the team's vanguard in siege, was also the key figure in the team's championship.
During the offseason, the Warriors were troubled by salary, but as the leader of the younger generation, has a huge call for getting the maximum salary. After all, as Curry's designated successor, the Warriors need the help of Poole to establish a dynasty. After the Green boxing incident was exposed, whether due to reasonable or objective factors, Poole seemed to have locked in a large maximum salary contract in advance. This will be well deserved for the bench bandits who helped the Warriors win the championship.
