US media evaluates the top five players in the league at each position in the new season: Curry is fourth among point guards, and two Rockets are on the list!

On October 14, with the start of the new NBA season, Zanduku is one year older. Jokic and Antetokounmpo will become the league's top fighting force. However, Zanduku is still in good personal condition and is still in the top 20 in the league. They can also help the team. Speaking of which, the US media recently selected the top five players in the league in each position in the new season. Let's take a look at this list. Is this list reasonable?

Point guard

The top five point guards are: 1 Doncic, 2 Alexander, 3 Brunson, 4 Curry, 5 Cunningham. It is quite controversial who ranks first between Doncic and Alexander, but in the eyes of many American media, Alexander is the first. After all, Alexander won the honor last season, which Doncic has not yet achieved. However, Doncic's singles ability and organizational ability are also something Alexander does not have. The two have their own strengths. Normally, Doncic should be ranked second.

Brunson is currently one of the best point guards in the Eastern Conference. Tatum and Haliburton did not enter this list due to injuries. Otherwise, they would have been selected. Brunson has led the team to the conference semifinals for two consecutive years, which shows his strength. Curry is still on this list. Although he is no longer at his peak, he is still the best shooter in the league. Cunningham fulfilled his talent last season. He combines offense and passing, and his ability to lead the team is very good. The future is worth looking forward to.

Shooting Guards

The top five shooting guards are: 1 Edwards, 2 Mitchell, 3 Booker, 4 Brown, and 5 Bane. After Edwards led the team to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, he also received more recognition and became the league's number one shooting guard. His current offensive arsenal is already very rich. His biggest shortcoming now is his lack of experience and he is only 23 years old. Mitchell has never missed the playoffs while leading the team so far in his career. If he were 1.98 meters tall, he would probably be among the top three in the league.

Booker has not led the team to success in the past few years, so he has also been questioned more. Booker is indeed an excellent scorer, but his ability to lead the team is very limited. Jaylen Brown is one of the best offensive and defensive wings currently in service. His body has a huge advantage over most wings. He is too strong. Bain has always been underestimated. He is both offensive and defensive, and has both on and off the ball. He is a very good puzzle player.

Small Forward

The top five small forwards are: 1 Durant, 2 James, 3 Leonard, 4 Butler, and 5 Jaywe. Durant is still one of the best scorers in the league. With physical fitness, he is still the most reliable in the league in singles. Last season, his singles efficiency was the league's leader. Although James will be 41 years old in the new season, in terms of his physical fitness and skills, it seems that there is no problem in ranking second, but it is estimated that his physical fitness will get worse and worse.

Although Leonard has lost his peak level due to serious injuries in the past few years, he is still one of the top ten goalkeepers in the league. His basic skills are so good, which also makes his current offense and defense still among the top in the league. After Butler joined the Warriors and became the second in charge, he received more doubts, but Butler is still very strong. After Jiewei helped the team win the championship last season, he received more recognition, integrating offense, defense and passing, and becoming a top second player.

Power forward

The top five power forwards are: 1 Antetokounmpo, 2 Big Eyebrow, 3 Banchero, 4 Sika, and 5 Zion. Antetokounmpo is the best offensive and defensive player in the active league. He can defend from one to five. He also has excellent ball-handling ability and is among the top three in the active league. Although Nongmei is still a combination of offense and defense, he is no longer at the level he was at his peak. Now his shooting is not good, and his ability to attack the fourth position is not as good as before.

Although Banchero is only in his third year, this top pick has shown good scoring ability. He is likely to average 27+ per game in the new season. His offensive arsenal is already very rich, and he has star temperament. Sika has always been underestimated. After leading the team to the Eastern Conference Finals in the past two years, his performance in the playoffs has conquered more players. Zion has gained more recognition after losing weight. I hope he can stay healthy.

Center

The top five centers are: 1 Jokic, 2 Embiid, 3 Wenban, 4 Towns, 5 Shen Jing. As Jokic is the number one player in the league, it is reasonable for him to be ranked number one. This does not need to be discussed too much. After a serious injury, I don’t know if Embiid can return to his peak. If he returns to his peak, he will be ranked second. Everyone should have seen Wenban’s performance in the preseason. He has indeed increased the number of goals. The defense is still so scary, and the offense is more aggressive, but there are a lot of mistakes.

Towns is one of the best second-choice players currently in service. He is the best interior lineman in the league in terms of space ability. He has three-pointers and can kill with the ball. His athletic ability is very good, but his ability to fight tough battles has never been proven. After Shen Jing's performance in the European Championships, he also received more recognition and is one of the best ball-holding insiders currently active. Having said that, what do you want to say about this sub-batch? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
