The role is not inferior to the core! The 5 best 3D players in the league so far in the playoffs: the Knicks and the two are on the list

In the NBA, especially after the arrival of the small ball era, 3D players have become the blue-collar choices for each team. The so-called 3D is a player who is good at three-pointers and defense. Such players do not occupy the ball, can open up space on the offensive end to provide output, and can also play a value on the defensive end. Many such 3Ds have a role in the team even if they are not inferior to the core. Next, let’s take a look at the five best 3D players so far in the playoffs.

Bridges

Bridges was questioned in the first round of the playoffs, but in the second round, he proved himself, with the key stealing of Brown in the first game, and Tatum in the second game, killing the game with two key defenses. Looking at Bridges' current performance, many friends probably already know why he was worthy of the Knicks' exchange for 5 first-round picks. Bridges' top defense and offensive ability also meets the level of the third-in-class level. The key is that he is too healthy.

With a deadly situation like Thibodeau, Bridges has never missed a game this season. So far, Bridges has averaged 14.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 32%. Seeing this, many fans may say: Is his three-point efficiency not good? At the intensity of the playoffs, it is difficult to maintain a high three-point shooting percentage. As long as he can open up the space, his opponent dare not let him go.

Anunobi

The Knicks' team building direction this season is to fight against the Celtics. In the end, they saw the effect in this season's playoffs. Now they are leading the Celtics 2-0 with a big score. In the game, Anunobi's main star Tatum, who is the main player who defends his opponent, also makes Tatum play very inefficient. At the critical moment of the second round of the playoffs, Tatum made a total of 1 7 shots, and 1 of 12 shots in the final quarter of the two games. Anunobi may be the best 3D in the active league.

He not only has top-level defense, but also has a certain ability to hold the ball and attack. He is a weakened version of Leonard in all aspects. As a blue-collar worker, he won a five-year, 220 million contract, which is enough to show his value. Anunobi averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in the playoffs, with a three-point shooting percentage of 38%, and a second in the league in steals per game. He is able to defend multiple positions, which is great.

NeSmith

When seeing this name, many fans may not recognize him. He is the Pacers' first major striker now. It can be said that he and Turner have supported the Pacers' defensive system. In addition, Nesmith's offensive ability is very excellent. He does not need the ball, but he can stand up when the team needs to score. In the previous G2 series against the Cavaliers, he completed the key make-up dunk, and then created Mitchell's offensive foul to set the tone for the team to win.

A 1.98-meter player can defend 4 positions and is very tough. He has to praise Carlisle's coaching ability. He made Nesmith a top 3D. This season's playoffs, he averaged 16.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks. His three-point shooting percentage reached an exaggerated 56.1%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 190. The Pacers were able to reach their current height. They rely not only on the offense led by Halliburton.

Caruso

To be honest, Caruso did not get much chance to show himself, because the team won easily. In the second round, he proved himself against the Nuggets. In the first game of the series, he played 5 steals in the whole game. With Jewe and Chet playing poorly, he supported the role of the second core and scored 20 points in the whole game. As the team's substitute, Caruso spared no effort to play his value on both offense and defense after he came on the court. No wonder a substitute can win an 80 million contract extension.

Caruso has averaged 8.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 steals and 1 blocker in the playoffs, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.7%. This is the data Caruso scored when he averaged only 19.8 minutes of playing time per game. He is a perfect puzzle for the championship. He has a high ball service and good defense. He is willing to do dirty and tiring work. Any team wants such a player. It was too inappropriate for the Lakers to give up him.

McDan

McDaniels is one of the best 3D players in the active league. Beverly previously praised him as contemporary Pippen. McDaniels often performed poorly in the regular season. He was inaccurate in three-pointers and scored very few points. However, in the playoffs, he would be fully fired. Not only did his scoring data skyrocket, but his shooting efficiency also improved significantly. He had a certain ability to break through the ball and could switch to multiple positions. In time, as long as he worked hard enough, he would have a chance to become a star in the future.

Medane averaged 16.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks in the playoffs this season, and his shooting percentage was as high as 57.8%. In today's game against the Warriors, McDan gave away 3 steals and 3 blocks in the whole game. The more these top gates reached the tough battle, the more they could play their value.
