Durant lost another deal? The top pick in the same class, Tanhua City became the top 15 in the league, but the second place was not in the top 100

On September 26, all the top 100 stars selected by ESPN today have been released. Interested friends can go and check out my previous article. There are many questions on this list, but it is still acceptable in general. The top ten on this list are: Jokic, Alexander, Doncic, Antetokounmpo, Wenban, Edwards, Curry, James, Durant and Brunson, Wenban is already high.

11-20 are: 11 Jaylenway, 12 Cunningham, 13 Mobley, 14 Davis, 15 Mitchell, 16 Booker, 17 Banchero, 18 Butler, 19 Jaylen Brown, and 20 Leonard. In this list, Cunningham and Mobley entered the top fifteen. As the year of the draft, the 21st class did not disappoint everyone. Although their players grew slowly in the early stage, they have begun to show their potential to dominate the league in the fifth year of their career.

Cunningham is the No. 1 pick. He is already the top ball-holding core in the active league. In the future, the Pistons are expected to return to the glory of the 2000s under his leadership. Mobley is Tanhua. He won the Best Defensive Player Award last season. The Cavaliers are now interested in developing him in the direction of Garnett. In developing his ball-holding ability and space ability, he is expected to become the next top inside player, and in this ranking, he surpassed the team's boss Mitchell.

In addition, Shen Jing ranked 25th in the league and Wagner Jr. ranked 32nd in the 21st class, both of which are excellent. Seeing this, fans may ask: How much is Jaylen Green? Jaylen Green did not enter the top ten this time, which is indeed unexpected. Last year, he was still ranked 69th. But if you think about it carefully, there are 150 reporters, editors, etc. this time. Maybe a few of them will forget Jaylen Green, so that everyone will not forget it, right?

To put it bluntly, this second place in the 21st class has been despised by many media who understand football. When he first entered the league, his attention was higher than that of No. 1 Cunningham, and he was considered the next Jordan and Kobe. As a result, it has become the "Snow Brother" that everyone sighs. I think the reason why Jaylen Green did not enter the top 100 is mainly because of his poor performance in the playoffs. Jaylen Green, who played in the playoffs for the first time last season, averaged 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists, and his shooting percentage is only 37.2%

This performance is indeed disappointing, but Jaylen Green also has his advantages. His attendance rate is lovely. He has only missed 21 games in the 4 seasons of his career so far, and has been fully attending in the past two years. Not to mention his performance, this professional attitude is lovely. Last season, he averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game, and has averaged 20.1 points, 4.3 rebounds per game so far in his career. Although his performance has not met expectations, he is not a parallel product.

The advantages and disadvantages of Jaylen Green are very obvious. His advantages are that he is healthy enough and has outstanding talent. His disadvantages are that his ball quotient is not high and his choice on the offensive end is unreasonable. Among the top 100 ESPN stars, only Booker entered the top 100, which also shows that these experts do not recognize the Suns. Now, many of the operations they have made in the offseason have failed, such as trading Durant and buying out Bill.

"I am very happy to play with Booker, and I feel that I can learn a lot from him, and at the same time I will bring what I have learned, we will be very complementary, form good chemistry, create opportunities for each other and teammates, and will also shock a lot of people," Jaylen Green said during the media day. Indeed, Jaylen Green has not worked with outside stars like Booker who can attract defense so far. He may give Jaylen Green more opportunities to take action easily.

In the past few years, Jaylen Green has not fully met expectations. In addition to the football quotient, another key reason is that there is no suitable coach to formulate a corresponding tactical system for him. During the Silas era, the team played magic balls, Jaylen Green made three-pointers and broke through and killed. He was best at mid-range and had no chance to perform. Uduka was even more not good at cultivating offensive players. He was better at building a defensive system.

Previously, ESPN selected the new members of each team in the offseason, among which Durant ranked first and Jaylen Green ranked tenth. Although the ranking is not very high, it also shows ESPN's recognition of him. If Jaylen Green can form a Gemini with Booker, then the Suns still have hope in the future. It is reported that the Suns plan to let Jaylen Green play the No. 1 position and let Booker return to the familiar No. 2 position. In this case, Booker's offensive firepower can be maximized. At the same time, this is also an opportunity for Jaylen Green. If organizational capabilities can be developed, it will be an improvement for him.

The Suns have no intention of pursuing a record in the next two years, so the combination of Green and Booker has plenty of time to run in, and look forward to Phoenix taking off again. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current sun? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
