The young NBA star was Doncic Tatum, who is now under the age of 25?
The reason why 25 years old is mainly because most of the stars who were called league appearance level in the past were mostly famous in the league before this age, especially those who deserved league appearances such as Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Jordan, and James. They have shown their uniqueness since they entered the league, and their progress speed is not comparable to ordinary stars.
Among the active players, players who have entered the public's vision by relying on their personal strength before the age of 25 include Doncic and Tatum. They were selected into the first team in their second season of their career, while the other was able to lead the team to the division finals in their rookie season. Now Doncic and Tatum have passed the 25-year-old threshold, but they obviously have a high room for development, but Tatum is quite unlucky. Whether he can still play in his previous state after the Achilles tendon rupture has become an unknown.
So after Doncic and other players turn 25, are there any players in the league who show potential for future league appearances than them now? Of course there is an answer! For example, the five players we will take stock of next. Although they are all very young, they all prove that their strength is not ordinary people. In time, they are expected to become the best team member in the future!
5. Wenban Yama (21 years old)
As the most popular No. 1 pick in recent years, Wenban Yama had high expectations for him before entering the league, and obviously he did not disappoint. In the rookie season, he averaged 20+10 per game and became the first rookie in history to be selected for the best defensive team. The most important thing is that in that year, Wenban Yama showed his superstar temperament in some relatively anxious games. At critical moments, he not only had the courage to take responsibility, but also left many famous scenes.
Wenban Yama's progress this season is also quite obvious. He averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 3.8 blocks, and 3.1 three-pointers. Before he was injured, he was already a star at the best lineup level. Fortunately, this injury should not affect Wenban Yama's future career, so when he recovers from health, he will still be one of the strongest young stars in the current service. It would not be surprising that he will lead the Spurs into the playoffs next season with at least being selected for the All-A-Second Team. In the future, Wenban Yama's goals will definitely be the Best Team, DPOY and MVP.
4. Ban Kairo (22 years old)
The Magic won the No. 1 pick again after 18 years in 2022. This time, they did not choose the center like they did in the past two times, but chose the forward Ban Kairo from the prestigious Duke University. Ban Kairo, who is 2.08 meters tall, has a strong body and skillful scoring skills. When he is doing three threats, you can even see some shadows of Anthony. However, compared with the latter, Ban Kairo's explosive power and dynamic talent are still obviously disadvantageous.
However, even so, Ban Kailo quickly became a top scorer after entering the league. He averaged 25+ for the first time this season, and at the same time, he averaged 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. If he hadn't encountered the injury that allowed him to miss many games during the period, he would have hoped to reach the best team this season.
Although the Magic lost to the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, Benkairo's personal performance is still improving compared to last year's playoffs. He averaged 29.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.4 three-pointers per game. His three-pointers always exploded in this game. His shooting percentage last year was 40%, and this year's shooting percentage was as high as 44.4%. Ban Kairo's high-end game is not frightened and always able to perform better, which determines that his ceiling will not stop there. In the future, he will be healthy and at least become a regular player in the best lineup, and it is not impossible to even make the best team.
3. Cunningham (23 years old)
When Cunningham participated in the draft in 2021, the template given to him by the outside world was Doncic. From this, it can be seen that he also plays with a big core. Once this type of player realizes his talent, he will at least be the top ten superstars in the league. However, Cunningham's performance was not very ideal in the first three seasons of his career. On the one hand, it was affected by injuries, and on the other hand, the Pistons' lineup was too bad, and as a rookie, he still couldn't lead those people.
Cunningham has been able to continue to maintain health this season, and the team's lineup has also been significantly upgraded. Then we saw his obvious improvement. Cunningham averaged 26.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1 steal per game in the regular season. Under his leadership, the Pistons successfully entered the playoffs as sixth in the Eastern Conference, and finally he was selected for the All-Squad for the first time.
Although Cunningham's shortcomings were exposed more clearly on the playoff stage, even so, he can't ignore the fact that he averaged 25+8+8 per game in his first playoff game. Whether the stars of their level can withstand the output is the most important thing. He proved that he does have the potential to become a top ball-holding core. Continuing to maintain healthy and improve his shortcomings, Cunningham is undoubtedly a chance to be selected as the Best Team in the future.
2. Edwards (23 years old)
As the No. 1 pick in 2020, the outside world did not pay much attention to Edwards at the beginning, but soon he used his strength to attract the spotlight. In his second season of his career, Edwards averaged 20+ per game. Under his leadership, the Timberwolves returned to the playoffs. He averaged 25.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game against the Grizzlies in the playoffs.
In the future, under the leadership of Edwards, the Timberwolves were able to reach the playoffs every year, and they have reached the division finals in the past two seasons. Although Edwards does have shortcomings in high-end games, his basic balance is still very strong. He can still contribute 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game this year's playoffs this year.. Moreover, from Edwards' games over the years, he is constantly improving. His ability to read games is much stronger than before. Therefore, with the learning ability he demonstrates, he will be a perfect top five candidate in the league in the future.
1. Halliburton (24 years old)
In 2020, Halliburton was selected by the Kings, but because he had Fox in the same team, his early performance was not good. It was not until Halliburton was traded to the Pacers in the 2021-2022 season that he ushered in more obvious progress. In the 2022-2023 season, he also averaged 20.7 points and 10.4 assists per game, and he was successfully selected as the All-Star.
, and in the past two seasons, Halliburton has led the Pacers to the division finals for two consecutive years. Even though he is considered the most overrated player by many NBA players this season, this does not affect his many highlights in the playoffs. Against the Bucks, the Cavaliers, and the Knicks, Halliburton has a final victory or draw at critical moments, which can be regarded as a proven ability to attack. As the core of the ball holding the ball, Halliburton does not have the right to play, and Siakam and others can still play with their style around him. This is one of the reasons why Halliburton is a team-type star.
