If the NBA is selected as the best rookie in the half of this season, the first class will be elected in a way without suspense.
In the first half of the season, the average score was 21.3 points 6.8 rebounds 3.9 assists Ben Kelo, which was in line with every identification element of “Best Rookie”-high rank, good data, problematic and amazing enough.
In the history of the past 50 years, only five new shows have achieved an average of 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3.5 assists, followed by Larry Bird, the great Jordan, Blake Griffin, Luca-donchic, and bankero in the first half of the season.
However, compared with the surprising performance of the first half of the season, more than half of the season later, bankelo looked like another person, changing from “best rookie” to “fishing for iron and water”-the past 14 games, he not only greatly reduced the game content he contributed on the court, but also did not dare to compliment the 36.9% hit rate and 23.3% three-pointer.
How inefficient is the latest bankero? Let’s put it this way, free throws account for 33% of his scores……
Cold hand hard beating with iron head
Give up defense after one-on-one break
At the same time, a rookie in the West jumped like a rocket. He officially won the trust of the coach from January 10 and became the team’s first start. Both of them contributed two pairs of data after the first launch. They played the top performance of 20+21+4, 13+9+7, 17+14+7, and each game could send 2.7 big hot pot……
You know, only one person in the alliance can contribute more than 2.7 cap.
This rookie is called Walker Kessler.
Seeing Kessler’s match, it’s hard for you not to like such a young man. When a rookie has a mature competition content like a veteran, it often gives people a shocking visual experience. In Kessler, you can see all the elements of an excellent insider. He seems to have read the inner Bible of the basketball world and carried out the contents into his own matches.
Kessler’s defense is already the first-line level of the league, and the rookie season can contribute more than cap (also the 5th of the league), where can such people get worse?
When the attacking player faced Kessler under the basket, his hit rate dropped from the 65.4% average line to 53%, and only four players in the league did better than him, among these four people, they are not candidates for DPOY, or veterans whose frame protection level has been widely recognized.
Do you think he can’t keep up with Powell who is empty?
High delay + card position grab board
This time, after the delay, the small anti-large cover is completed.
Defensive deterrent in the basket
Not only on the defensive side, but also on the offensive side, Kessler can contribute his own value by covering and eating cakes. In addition to not showing the ability to tear space on the three-point line, you can hardly pick out anything wrong with him.
The first time is 10.6 points on average + the hit rate is as high as% of the efficient internal line, let alone the rookie, what bike do you want?
It looks heavy but can attack quickly
You can eat cakes if you know how to run
Kessler constantly creates value on the ground with meticulous and extremely in-place card position, frame protection and basic skills of cover. Even he has excellent ability to displace relieve a garrison on the defensive end, let the Jazz team play the three-tower lineup following last year’s Knight, and it is quite effective.
He is proving with excellent competition content that although he is young, he is already a very reliable NBA-level starting blue-collar center.
Coupled with the foil of former top-salary Center Gobel, Kessler is as dazzling as a unicorn. He has gradually climbed in the rookie list of major media, and even more and more people have begun to discuss the possibility of Kessler taking away the new player of the Year trophy from bankelo.
At the same time, with the help of a large number of high-level data, Kessler’s election as the Best Newcomer of the year has become eyebrow and eye-catching.
After all, players who help the team win and make positive contributions are always worth a higher look than those who brush data in bad teams.
Kessler is almost ahead of peers in all kinds of high-end data, especially the champion who struggled in the vortex of losing.
I believe that there are definitely not a few fans supporting Kessler to win the best rookie of the year, and there will certainly be experts with voting rights to give Kessler a vote at the end of the season.
However, in this alliance of making stars as kings, does Kessler really have a chance to stage the inspirational script of the dark horse counterattack?
Draft expert Sam Vessy also joined the discussion, and he pointed out the truth of the competition in two sentences–
“Kessler has done his job perfectly, but his role is extremely limited.”
“People will not give the best rookie to a big man with an average of 7+7.”
Yes, vesny is right. Just as fans will never put a blue collar into the All-Star starting, NBA will almost never Award important annual awards to supporting actors outside the spotlight.
In fact, the selection caliber of NBA’s best rookie of the month has revealed this for us-the average score in January was 10 points 9.5 backboard 2.3 cap, Kessler with a hit rate of 69% is not even the best in the West. The choice of the league is Kegan Murray, who is also the green leaf role of Kessler. Murray field averaged 14 points and 5 points. The data of 9 rebounds plus 49.5 percent of the three-point hit rate is equal to Kessler, but it has to be admitted that the King ranked 3rd in the West (in fact, both jazz and King lost 6 games in January) the identity of the 4th show with Murray raised people’s impression of him.
Bankero has a unique advantage. He is the absolute core of magic. The playing time and number of shots are the first in the team. Although the efficiency is a bit ugly, the selection of the best rookie is not to comment on MVP, for a future star, everyone will not be so harsh.
What’s more, he has produced historical data that has been rare in NBA50 years.
And for those experts who observe the NBA field closely, sometimes they can see some things that are easy to ignore as fans, and the so-called high-level data is difficult to reflect-such as the talent as the core of the team, this is a trait that is difficult to be quantified by data or measured by efficiency.
In the face of such defensive strength, Kelo can still play a good ball.
Kessler may never encounter such a bag clip
Suppose there was a blue-collar rookie center stronger than Kessler in 2003. Even if he had two pairs in the whole season, could he beat James who had 20+5+5 games to become the best rookie of the year?
Don’t forget, melon, who entered the playoffs, failed.
On duty, Carol still maintains the status of Magic’s number one choice and the super rookie data with an average score of 20.2 points 6.6 rebounds 3.7 assists. The rookie of the Year trophy will probably be closer to the Italian……
Besides, playing in jazz, a small team that lacks exposure, has more or less affected Kessler’s fame-do you remember who was the last player that jazz hoped to win the best rookie? In 2018, 13-in-13 Michelle lost to Ben Simmons, the favored son of Heaven (of course, Simmons is also fully worthy).
After all, although Kessler is excellent, you can even label him as “the rookie who has the greatest influence on the competition”, but bankelo’s label can be “the future league facade.
Of course, the season is just over half. If Kessler can keep the first two pairs of data until the end of the season, and continue to stage his own hot pot feast and win the cap King, playing more points also shocked the “historical data” of double 20 or cap pairs “……
Maybe at that time, people will re-examine the distance between him and bankelo and say: bankelo, don’t think you are stable!
