Showdown between the old and the new! The US media ranks the top 50-11 players in the new season: Curry is 11th, Harden is 27th, and KD is 15th

As the new season is about to start, various predictions are also coming. The American media "Sports Illustrated" conducted a player strength ranking. Currently, they have released players ranked 50-11 for the new season, and many super giant players are among them.

No. 50-41

Players ranked in this range include: Bane, Gobert, Amen, Herro, Derrick White, Anunoby, Morant, Jaylen Johnson, Wagner Jr., Aaron Gordon. Bane will play for the Magic in the new season. After successfully performing very brilliantly, his performance in the past two seasons was actually not good. Coupled with the problems caused by injuries, his outside shooting rate dropped severely. However, the US media still places him in the goalkeeper position, and are optimistic that he can gradually regain his touch in the new season.

Morant’s past two years have been filled with constant rain and various negative incidents on and off the court, which have taken away too much of his energy. After finally returning to the game, he encountered continuous injuries. While other new-generation defenders have begun to make contributions, Morant is already far behind. If he hadn't been too cruel, he wouldn't be where he is today.

The 40th-31st players

are: Zion, Sabonis Jr., Shen Jing, Trae Young, Garland, JJJ, Maxey, Lillard, Zubac, Jamal Murray

Before entering the league, the publicity for Zion was overwhelming, and even many media believed that he would surpass James. But since joining the Pelicans, he hasn't even been able to play a full season for the team. Without guarantee of health, no matter how talented he is, it is just talk on paper. Now Zion seems to be following Simmons' old path, losing weight and training desperately in the offseason, and recuperating and gaining weight as soon as the season starts. Under such a vicious cycle, his future prospects are really difficult to be optimistic about.

After experiencing a less than successful career with the Bucks, Lillard chose to return home in the off-season. The current Blazers can be said to be full of waste and have a group of talented young players. After Lillard returns, it is clear that he can still become a leader in the locker room and on the field. He has every chance to perform the return of the king.

Zubac's progress in the past two years is obvious to all, and the cooperation between him and Harden has become increasingly skillful. Last season, Zubac even called himself the "O'Neal of the Clippers", often able to contribute astonishing statistics of 20+10.

Murray's performance has been very difficult after returning from a serious injury. Now he lacks sufficient competitiveness on both offense and defense. Especially on the offensive end, it is difficult for him to have a positive impact on the Nuggets, whether it is breakthrough or outside shooting. How far the Nuggets can go with their changed lineup in the new season, Murray will become that X factor.

The 30th to 21st

players are: Fox, Irving, Adebayor, Harden, Towns, Holmgren, Siakam, Butler, Booker, Benqueiro

After joining the Clippers, with the departure of George, Leonard's injury. Harden was once again forced to start scoring mode. Last season, he stepped forward many times and played the same level and performance as the Rockets that year, helping the Clippers win. Now for Harden, what he needs to do is find a way to prove himself in the playoffs.

The Suns' lineup has undergone major changes in the past two years. In the context of star teammates leaving the team one after another, the team in the new season has once again returned to the familiar scene of Booker leading the team with one core. For Booker, who has failed to win the championship and whose team is constantly reorganized, he does not rule out returning to the original version in the new season and continuing to be a brusher who only cares about personal data.

The 20th-11th

players are: Jaylen Williams, Mobley, Jaylen Brown, Embiid, Haliburton, Durant, Leonard, Big Eyebrow, Brunson, Curry.

The Thunder were able to win the championship last season. In addition to the performance of SGA, Jiewei was undoubtedly a major contributor to the championship. On both offense and defense, he can conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by his coach.

As FMVP, Brown's performance last season was not good, especially when entering the playoffs, he was very tangled and confused. After the arrival of the new season, with Tatum's injury, the entire team's responsibility fell on his shoulders. This is both a huge challenge and a good opportunity, which can just prove his ability to lead a team.

After suffering a serious injury, Burton can still be ranked so high. It can be seen that the US media is indeed very fond of him. In last season's finals, he indeed performed phenomenally. It is also hoped that Burton can continue his good personal performance after returning from injury.

Curry failed to enter the top ten this time, and finally ranked 11th. The reason is still concerns about his age and potential injury threats.

It is not difficult to see from this ranking that more and more young people are beginning to realize their talents, showing confrontation with star veterans.
