The 2024 Summer League has become an important stage for NBA rookies to showcase their strengths. In the latest round of the competition, three key rookies have attracted a lot of attention - the champion Risa Shet, the top eye Saar and the Tanhua Shepard. How did the rookies perform? Let's dive in.
In the 2024 Summer League, Shepard, a tanhua player, has definitely become the focus of everyone. His performance on the court is so eye-catching, some fans joke that he looks like a combination of Stephen· Curry, Chris · Paul. Shepard not only shoots with the precision of Curry, but also has Paul-esque passing vision and creativity. It's not an exaggeration to say he's a future All-Star. Summer League data shows Shepard is averaging 20 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, shooting 50% from the field. Naturally, such a performance has attracted numerous praises. Fans excitedly discussed on social media, with one saying: "Shepard is a surprise this season, it feels like he can make a huge difference to the team in the new season!" Another added: "Watching him play is like seeing a future star, and this draft is really profitable." ”
In contrast, the performance of champion Risachet is a bit flat. Although he also showed some strength, it was not particularly outstanding overall. As a striker, Risachet has a good projection and height advantage, but his performance in the summer league has not been impressive. His stats are stable, but they just lack that eye-catching feeling. Some fans expressed their disappointment during the discussion, with someone saying: "Although Risachet's stats are not bad, he just feels mediocre and I don't know if I can break through myself in the real season." Another said: "Although Risachet has height and ability, his performance is a bit worrying, and he doesn't see anything particularly outstanding." ”
Risachet's shortcomings have been a hot topic among fans and analysts. The biggest drawback is that his body is too thin, he weighs only 93 kilograms, which makes him obviously suffer in terms of physical confrontation. In the match, everyone could see that he was struggling against stronger opponents. Every time he fights, Risachet is easily pushed by his opponents, which greatly affects his performance.
Some netizens expressed their opinions on social media. One fan tweeted: "Risachet felt like a thin pole every time he collided with an opponent in Summer League and was really worried about his ability to fight in the NBA. Another netizen commented: "This figure is really not tough enough, if he can't get into the inside, it is estimated that he will also encounter trouble on the defensive end." Such comments not only reflect concerns about Risachet's fitness, but also highlight his vulnerability in the heat of confrontation.
In addition to his physical problems, Risachet has also been criticized for his ability to attack on his own with the ball. Many analysts have pointed out that he lacks the ability to break through when holding the ball, often appears hesitant when facing defenses, and struggles to create effective offensive opportunities. When watching him dribble on the court, he always looks a little clumsy, lacking smooth dribbling and breakthrough skills. One basketball commentator said during the live broadcast: "When Risachet is attacking with the ball, his movements are always slow, and as soon as the defender sticks up, it is difficult for him to find space to break through. ”
Fans have also been discussing Risachet's performance on the ball. One fan posted on the forum: "Every time I see Risachet attacking with the ball, I feel like I'm watching him struggle. As long as the defender comes up a little bit, it's hard for him to get rid of. Another netizen said: "He is always blocked by opponents when he breaks through, and I feel that he needs more time to hone his offensive skills, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA." "These discussions show dissatisfaction with Risache's offensive ability and concerns about his future performance in the NBA.
Overall, Risachet's physical weaknesses and lack of attacking with the ball do make people feel a little anxious about his future. If he can't improve in both areas, he will likely face quite a few obstacles in his career. Hopefully, he can work hard to improve his physical fitness and technique, adapt to the fierce competition in the NBA as soon as possible, and find his place in the team.
There are also people on social platforms who have expressed their opinions on this. Some netizens mentioned: "Shepard's performance gave us hope, while Risa Xie made me feel a little disappointed, I chose the champion but failed to show a particularly strong performance." Another fan said: "Although Risachet's consistency is important, hopefully he can find his rhythm in the season, after all, as the champion, the expectations are high. ”
Leader's performance in the 2024 Summer League was really disappointing. He averaged just 5.5 points per game and shot a measibly low 19.1 percent from the field. To make matters worse, he shot just 11.8 percent from three-point range. This data is really worrying, after all, as a leader, these data do not meet everyone's expectations at all. Saar's sluggish state has sparked a lot of discussion on the Internet, and some fans even bluntly said: "This performance is simply a joke, and the players on the list can't even compare to Brownie!" ”
The American media NBA Memes even seized on this topic and launched fierce criticism of Sarr. They compared Sal to former Eye Hunter Kwame · Brown and accused him of being the next parallel product. The post reads: "The Wizards really don't know what they're thinking, they picked Sal only to see one mistake after another. This makes Wizards fans feel understandable, especially after seeing similar names in history such as Tabit, Bagley, Wiseman, and Bennett fail to live up to their potential.
The Wizards media were also completely disappointed with Saar's performance. Not only were they jealous that the Rockets could pick Shepard, but they were also full of doubts about their own pick, Sal. Nearly every story about Sal in the Wizards' media has been filled with disappointment and criticism. There is widespread concern that Sarr may not be able to adapt to the intensity of the NBA, and that he could become a high-risk, low-reward player. Some comments even went so bluntly: "The Wizards' draft decision is terrible, and it looks like Sarr's current performance makes it hard to expect anything from him." ”
Look at the comparison between Sarr and Wembanyama, both of whom were originally seen as high-risk, high-reward players, but the results were very different. Wembanyama showed almost all-time talent in the game, playing quite well, while Sarr's performance came off to expectations. While both were gambling drafts, Sarr has never been able to live up to his potential. Many can't help but wonder if Sarr will really be able to find his place in the NBA. Netizens said: "Wembanyama is already proving himself with his strength, but Sal is extremely disappointing, and his future is really unpredictable." ”
Saar's future is undoubtedly uncertain. Although he has a certain ceiling, his performance also exposes a clear lower limit. If Sal can make a breakthrough, he may become a low-profile version of Wembanyama; But if he can't adapt to the intensity of the NBA, he could also become a Bamba-like player. Shepard's performance, in contrast, adds more brilliance and hope to his future.
