Although the Thunder are currently behind 1:2 in the finals, they still have a chance to turn the tables. Even though Shea Kyrgyz Alexander performed averagely in the finals, he is the MVP winner of this season after all. As long as he can adjust, the Thunder still has hope of winning the championship. Looking at the Thunder's success and the team that failed to advance to the finals, I don't know what I think now. After all, Alexander has only been in the league for 7 years, but he is already a top leader. Our protagonists today are the top three rookies in 2019 who were overwhelmed by Alexander's talent and fame when they entered the NBA. They were Tsian Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett. Now six years have passed, but they have not been able to reach the expected height. Let’s take a look at their experience over the years and their current situation to see why their development is like this!
1. Zion Williamson's career data: 24.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists before entering the NBA that year, Zion was once regarded as a pride of heaven whose ability and talent were not inferior to LeBron James. As early as Duke's college years, he was already a top star in the United States. Because he stepped on NIKE's sneakers, it directly affected NIKE's market value. Looking at the entire basketball history, this is probably a unique existence. Speaking of Tsai, although he is only 1.98 meters tall, he weighs 128 kilograms. When he entered the NBA, he was also regarded as the ultimate weapon in the inside. In fact, in the past few years since entering the NBA, as long as Tsai En can play, his condition is still good, and his ability is indeed excellent. His average of 24.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game so far in his career is still contributed when he is not good at three-point shooting. Therefore, it can be seen that as long as Tsai En can stay healthy, he is one of the best inside players in the league. After all, in the past six years, he has been selected into the All-Star lineup twice and has also won a five-year contract of up to $231 million, which shows his value.
But the problem is that since entering the NBA, Tsai has been unable to control his weight for a long time and is always troubled by injuries. In the past six seasons, he has only played 61 games in the 20-21 season and 70 games in the 23-24 season. In the rest of the years, he only attended 30 games, and he has also missed the entire 21-22 season. So far, he has only played 214 games in total, and his attendance rate is terrible. And not only is the attendance rate unavailable, Zhai En was also doing something wrong off the court. He was prosecuted off the court last summer, involving an emotional dispute. Not long ago, he was sued by another woman, accusing Tsai En of repeatedly committing negative behaviors such as violence, physical abuse, emotional manipulation, etc. over five years. Although the Pelicans' new general manager Joe Dumas said that the team will still build the team with Zion as the core, Zion, who is extremely disappointing both inside and outside the court, may have begun the countdown if the current situation continues in the future.
2. Ja Morant's career data: 22.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists
When he entered the NBA, Morant did not receive much attention. After all, Tsian was indeed very popular at that time. In comparison, Morant was too thin, and scouts believed that his shooting was also seriously insufficient, so fans did not have much expectations for him. However, what was unexpected was that Morant quickly adapted to the intensity of the NBA, eliminating the Warriors from the 20-21 playoff playoffs and finally getting the last Western Conference playoff ticket, and his career gradually reached its peak. In the 21-22 season, he directly scored 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists in a single season, ranking among the top ten stars in the league. In that season, he also successfully helped the Grizzlies get the second record in the Western Conference. He himself was selected into the All-Star lineup and the second team of the season, and was also elected as the fastest player to improve. At the age of 22, he has reached an extraordinary height. After that, although his condition declined, as long as he ensured his health, Morant could make some contributions on the court. Moreover, his style of play is indeed good, with amazing bounces and time of staying up, and he also staged poster-level dunks many times, which has gained a lot of fans.
However, just like Tsai, Morant soon suffered a double blow from off-court events and injuries. At first, it was during the 22-23 season that he held a gun off the court many times. Although he did not cause any substantial damage, this undoubtedly touched the bottom line for the NBA. Moreover, in order to support Morant, both the NBA officials and the Grizzlies have been very tolerant of him, but Morant has not changed his skills and was eventually banned by the league and the Grizzlies. It was also from that moment that Morant's popularity began to decline, accompanied by injuries. In the 23-24 season, he only played 9 games and was completely reimbursed for the season. This season, he also missed 32 games due to various injuries. It is precisely because of Morant's misconduct that the Grizzlies have been missing the core for a long time in the past two years and have wasted great time. Now, the team has fallen in the first round of the playoffs again. Media reports have already revealed that the Grizzlies may send Morant away in the summer. If Morant really leaves Memphis, it can only be said that all this is his own fault and he did not cherish the opportunity..
3.RJ Barrett
Career data: 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists
Finally, let's talk about Barrett as a Tanhua. Compared with the above two players, Morant's attendance rate is still guaranteed, and he maintains a good personality on and off the court, and there has basically been no negative news. However, this has become a "short" of his own. His lack of outstanding personality makes Barrett seem a bit in the NBA today. So far in his career, he averaged 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, which is pretty good overall, especially this season, his average data has reached 21.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists, and he is the most outstanding overall performance among the Raptors except Scotty Barnes. But if we look at the requirements of Tanhua, Barrett's development has not been able to meet expectations. Some fans may think that Barrett's data is already quite good, but you should know that since entering the small ball era, the average score of 20 points per game is no longer as rare as in the past. Moreover, Barrett's game influence is really not as good as Tsaien and Morant. Therefore, although Barrett's overall performance is pretty good, he still did not meet expectations based on the level of Tanhua.
