The NBA regular season is more than half over, and there are only about 20 games left, so today we will take stock of the three players who have surprised the fans the most so far this season.
1. DeRozan (Chicago Bulls)
In last year's offseason, the Bulls got DeRozan from the Spurs, and Ravin and Vucevic have scored three goals to form a mini big four, before the start of the season, many media and fans are not optimistic about DeRozan joining the Bulls, but so far this season, DeRozan has slapped the fans and media who were not optimistic about him.
So far this season, the Bulls have won 39 wins and 23 losses, ranking second in the East, DeRozan has played a total of 58 regular season games for the Bulls, averaging 35.7 minutes per game, contributing 28.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 35.8% from three-point range and shooting as high as 51.6%, ranking 23rd in the league, and more than 80% of the top 22 players are all center players.
So far this season, DeRozan has scored 35+ points in 16 games, ranking first in the league, in the previous regular season, DeRozan has completed the second-reading match in back-to-back matches, and in the new regular season MVP list, DeRozan has rushed to fourth place, behind Embiid, Jokic and Alphabet Brother. Compared to his three seasons at the Spurs, DeRozan this season has made fans really feel the charm of the mid-range shooting.
2. Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers)
At the beginning of the season, many fans could not believe that the Cavaliers without James had been able to stabilize to the top five positions in the East, and after starting to pay attention to the Cavaliers' games, it was found that in addition to veterans like Lefou, young players such as Allen and Garland also began to emerge, especially Garland.
Born in 2000, Garland was selected by Cleveland with the 5th pick in the first round of 2019, and in the past two seasons, Garland has grown very rapidly, just entering the league for a season. Garland averaged 12.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, and in the second season, Garland's average points per game rose to 17.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists, and so far this season, Garland has averaged 20.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game, which can be seen that Garland has improved every year, especially his assist ability, even in a single game against the Thunder, and this season Garland has been selected to Cleveland's All-Star team, it can be said that the young man will become another Cleveland leader after James.
3. Ja-Morant (Memphis Grizzlies)
Last season's Grizzlies were eliminated 4-1 by the Jazz in the first round, and Morant scored 47 points in the second game against the Jazz, and many media saw that the young player was indeed not simple.
Born in 1999, Morant was selected by the Memphis Grizzlies with the second pick in the first round of 19 years, and just entered the league to show a very good physical talent, and this season, Morant has exploded amazing combat effectiveness, in the past two games, Morant scored 46 points and 52 points respectively, especially in today's game against the Spurs, 30 shots 22, 4 three-pointers, and completed the 2m 13 Peltel dunk in the game, which can be described as a four-seater.
Today's Grizzlies, under the leadership of Morant, have stabilized the top three positions in the West, second only to the Suns and Warriors, I believe that in this year's playoffs, any team in the West does not want to meet the Grizzlies with Morant.
