The American media commented today on the players who performed best last season but were not selected as All-Stars. Among them, the Nuggets' Murray, the Rockets' Shin Jing, the Pelicans' McCollum, the Spurs' Wembanyama, and the Thunder's Jalen Williams were selected. The number one among them is Murray, because of Jokic's huge influence, all the aura has been sucked away, plus the data is not very exciting. Murray averaged 21+6+4 per game last season, so the American media ignored his choice.
It's really not an exaggeration that Murray wasn't selected, after all, from the data to the team's positioning, it can't reach the level of an All-Star. McCollum is a veteran, with average data similar to Murray, and it is difficult to get into the All-Star, after all, the team's record is here, plus the presence of Fat Tiger Zion and Ingram. The most controversial should be Wembanyama, Shin Kyung and Jay. Because all three of them are very young, Jayway plays next to Alexander, as well as Holmgren on the inside.
In the end, the data handed over by Jay Wei was 19+4+4, in fact, the Thunder had the first record in the West, and Jay Wei was still eligible to be selected as an All-Star under the limited shooting rights. After all, he's a rookie of '22. Then there was Wembanyama, who averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3.58 blocks per game in his first season. Wembanyama's explosive popularity and average per game performances, as well as the highlights of his rookie debut, do meet all the requirements for being selected as an All-Star.
Finally, Shin Kyung is also eligible to be selected as an All-Star. If it weren't for Philadelphia's Maxey who improved too much, Shin Kyung could have even won the most improved player last season. He went from averaging 14.8 points, 9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game to 21.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and 5 assists, while shooting at 54%. In terms of team record, the Rockets made a qualitative change last season, advancing from the bottom of the league to a 41-41 playoff level. And when facing Wembanyama, Shen Jing scored 45 points, 16 rebounds and 5 breaks.
The team's record has exploded, and his personal data has also improved significantly, and he has no opponent to fear against Shin Kyung. In the face of Jokic, Shin Kyung also showed ease. The two sides have played each other a total of nine times, with Jokic recording 5-4. In nine games, Jokic averaged 26 points, 13.6 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1 steal per game while shooting 53.3% from the field. Shen Jing averaged 17.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, with a shooting rate of 50.8%.
Next season for the Rockets, Shin Kyung may usher in a continued burst of data. And there are still many teams that want Shen Jing, and Shen Jing has said before that the Bulls want to give him a maximum salary, but he still wants to stay with the Rockets. In other words, Shen Jing is very promising to take away $220 million from the Rockets for five years, and Shen Jing will be selected as an All-Star and All-Star next season, which will increase the contract to 5 years and 269 million. The most important thing is that Shen Jing is not short of next homes.
The Bulls are willing to do everything for Shen Jing, the Rockets traded Harden to get 4 first-round picks and 4 first-round swap rights from the Nets, if the Rockets nod and agree to trade Shen Jing, the Bulls will also send the Rockets the same trade return as Harden. Because Shen Jing is too young, only 22 years old. He fits all the requirements of the Bulls' building block. With Shen Jing, the Bulls can give him a maximum salary, and then build a team with Shen Jing as the core. Yes, the price for the Rockets to get Shen Jing is not high. used the Wizards and Pistons, two strictly protected first-round picks, to get the No. 16 pick from the Thunder, but the problem is that now Shin Kyung is the interior that the Rockets can't give up. There have been countless American media who are optimistic about Shen Jing this offseason, and the Rockets will bleed next year's contract extension.
