For most players in the NBA, their talents are not low, but if they want to gain a foothold in the league, they have to find their own "talent". If they encounter a team that is not suitable for them, it will be very difficult. Maybe he will be lost to everyone or eliminated early. There are many examples in history where changing teams is like being reborn. For example, Harden was just a small Sixth Man of the Year in the Thunder, but he became an MVP in the Rockets. These six players have re-proven themselves after changing teams in the offseason this season. Perhaps none of them can reach Harden's peak height, but at least they have now established a firm foothold in the league.
6. Toppin
averaged 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 59.6%
As the No. 8 pick in the 2020 class, Toppin's physical fitness is explosive. He is 6 meters tall and can run and jump on the court, and Also has certain projection ability. Unfortunately, Toppin was never able to play well with the Knicks in the first three seasons of his career. Even in his best season, he only averaged 17.1 minutes per game, and averaged only 9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. , so in this offseason, the Knicks traded him to the Pacers, which also changed his career.
Toppin has been the Pacers' starting forward most of the time this season, and his average playing time per game is a career-high 23.8 minutes. And he has lived up to Carlisle's trust in him. He played the best game of his career with extremely efficient efficiency. Good offensive performance, I have to say that his ability to play so well has a lot to do with Haliburton's magical organizational skills. Toppin's talent on the defensive end determines that he will not be a bad defender. In fact, he He is also one of the few players in the Pacers who can be relatively defensive.
5. Beasley (Bucks)
averaged 11.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 45.4%.
Last season, Beasley reached the lowest point of his career with the Lakers. He not only defended Stable stretch, the offensive end also completely lost the three-point touch, so starting from the end of the regular season, Beasley was slowly dnp by Hamm. In the playoffs, his playing time was only 8.3 minutes, and in the limited During the playing time, Beasley was basically a side effect, averaging only 3 points per game and shooting 26.9% from three-point range.
After being given up by the Lakers in the offseason, Beasley chose to join the Bucks with a minimum salary, and it turns out that he came to the wrong place. Here he rediscovered his outside touch, and now Beasley averages He made 2.8 three-pointers with a 45.4% shooting rate. He is at the top level in the league in terms of efficiency and production. Although his defense is still as bad as ever, at least he can respond on the offensive end. The Deer also rely heavily on his ability to space the floor.
4. Oubre (76ers)
averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game this season, shooting 48.4% from the field
Although Oubre averaged the highest scoring average in his career with the Hornets last season, everyone can see it. His statistics are very high, and the points he scored in a very inefficient way on such a bad team are naturally not worth mentioning. So when Oubre's contract expired, not only did he not get a multi-million contract, He is even in a situation where no one cares about him, and many teams do not want to sign him considering his performance in the past few seasons.
Later, in order to prove that he could not only collect data in weak teams, Oubre chose to join the 76ers with a minimum salary. This season, although his ball rights were greatly reduced and his data also declined, he also successfully reached his own level. The goal. Now that Oubre has proven that he can play on a championship-level team, and his scoring ability can be trusted at critical moments, so that next year in the offseason Oubre can get another job that matches his true potential. A big contract with great strength.
3. Walker (Nets)
averaged 14.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game this season, shooting 48.9% from the field.
Last year, Walker joined the Lakers to prove himself on this big stage. Unfortunately, he failed to achieve his goal in the end, but the season He still received a lot of applause for his performance of riding the savior alone in the postgame. Walker's problem is that his outside shooting is average, so even if he can score, it is based on having sufficient possession of the ball. But generally in strong teams, the team's tactics mainly revolve around the stars, so Walker's positioning is often more complex. Awkward.
However, after joining the Nets this season, Walker has shown the effect of his hard training in shooting during the offseason. So far, he has averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game with a 46.3% shooting rate, which has also helped him achieve success. Career-high scoring average. Now as a very important scoring point for the Nets, Walker's improvement has also helped the team achieve the league's third three-point shooting percentage. Unfortunately, he is now suffering from injuries. If he can maintain this state after his comeback, next year A multi-million contract shouldn't be a problem.
2. Dillon (Rockets)
averaged 13.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists per game this season, and shot 47.6% from the field.
In the playoffs last season, Dillon’s personal performance was simply terrible, averaging 10.5 points per game and three-point shooting percentage. As low as 23.8%. As a 3D player, Dillon did not play his role at all. So after the Grizzlies were eliminated, the team quickly announced that they would give up Dillon, but the latter In the free market, he was not as unpopular as he imagined. He even signed an 86 million contract with the Rockets in the end.
Now it seems that the Rockets' vision is correct. Dillon's performance has fully recovered compared to last season's playoffs. The most important thing is that he has finally found his three-point touch. He is currently averaging 40.8% of his field goals per game. 1.9 three-pointers made. Also, the addition of Dillon helped the Rockets create a very effective defensive system, and his leadership temperament is also crucial to the Rockets, a team with many young people. I have to say that this signing of the Rockets is simply It's a big profit.
Porzingis (Celtics)
This season, he averaged 19.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 53.3%
Porzingis' performance in the past few seasons has been controversial, although he He averaged 23.2 points per game last season, but because the Wizards still failed to reach the playoffs, the outside world still has mixed reviews for him. Many people are saying that he is also a data brush and his playing style is too soft. . However, the Celtics took a fancy to Porzingis during the offseason. Aiming to build the league's strongest shooting lineup, they traded for Porzingis. For this reason, they even gave away one of the team's leaders, Smart. special.
After joining the Celtics this season, Porzingis is also the first time to join a championship team of this level. Facts have proved that he can play in this environment. Although his statistics are compared to the previous There has been a slight decline in the season, but he has played more efficiently this season, and his talent in protecting the frame has been fully utilized in the Celtics. For the current Celtics, Porzingis is both offensive and defensive. He has a huge impact on the team. Without him, the strength of this team is completely different.
