Prepare to take off! After the first wave of major adjustments in the offseason, the US media "fadeawayworld" supports the five major stars based on the team's lineup, as well as the players' own talents and strength, will usher in transformation and leap in the new season. Among them, Amen of the Rockets was selected, and abandoned Jaylen Green was also optimistic.
Suns: Jaylen Green
24-25 Data: 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists
Jail Green was once highly expected, and some media even described him with high praise such as "Go to the West and the Sea" and the Rockets have always regarded it as the core to train it.
Helplessly, Jaylen Green's offensive stability has always been worrying. Even though he grew into a quasi-All-star player last season, helping the Rockets win the second place in the Western Conference, it could not cover up this shortcoming, so he was cut off by the Rockets in the offseason and sent to the Suns.
Although it is a big blow for Jaylen Green to be given up by her old club, it is also an extra motivation to prove herself. Especially the Suns are likely to enter the reconstruction stage, Jaylen Green will gain better space to grow and display talents next to Booker.
Trail Blazers: Henderson
24-25 Data: 12.7 points, 3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1 steal
Compared with the rookie season, Henderson has achieved some growth in the 24-25 season, but it is far from reaching the height that his talent should have.
As the Trail Blazers gradually complete the reconstruction and welcome experienced backfield veterans such as Lillard and Ju Holiday, Henderson is bound to gain help in growth.
More importantly, with Yang Hansen's joining, the attention of the Trail Blazers has increased sharply, and there is also hope that Henderson, the Trail Blazers' core, will gain a better verdict environment and attention in the future.
Rockets: Amen Thompson
24-25 season: 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.3 blocks, As the most dazzling star discovered during the Rockets' reconstruction, Amen Thompson has grown from a substitute to a non-selling and absolute core position after two seasons.
With the addition of Durant, the key scorer, and Jaylen Green's departure, Amen will surely gain better offensive space in the new season.
Plus his performance in the second half of the regular season and playoffs in the 24-25 season has a clear upward momentum. Amen's transformation in the new season is a foregone conclusion, but the level he can finally improve depends on whether he can develop a more stable projection.
Rissache (Hawks)
24-25 season: 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists
As the No. 1 pick in the Super Little Year, Rissache received even less attention than the Lakers' No. 55 pick, Browniega, but he played a good rookie season.
In the troubled Hawks, Rissache showed his proud talent and comprehensiveness in the face of his smaller role positioning, and his playing style inside and outside is very in line with the requirements of the small ball era.
With the Hawks introducing a group of strong players such as Possian and Walker, they have become one of the biggest winners in the offseason, and the stage to show themselves has been set up for the young Rissache.
Matherin (Pacers)
24-25 season: 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists
Matherin has proven himself to be a trusted big heart scorer, has had another good season and will usher in a very critical fourth season of his career.
Plus Halliburton will miss most of the new season due to injury, the Pacers need Mathering to take on greater responsibilities and even play the team's first scorer in the backcourt.
Therefore, whether Matherin can improve efficiency and grow into a decision-maker this year will determine his long-term positioning in the team, and will also determine whether the Pacers can still maintain competitiveness in the East in the new season.
