Five days after the NBA free market opened, the league pattern gradually became clear after the signing wave subsided, and the market "Big Fish "The competition has basically settled, but there are still several powerful players who have not signed yet. The 9 "hot" players recently selected by the US media have become the last chance for each team to strengthen due to their role adaptability, cost-effectiveness or potential value. Let's see who has been selected:

1. Giddy: Full physical fitness, excellent basket ability and stable mid-range shooting all give him the potential to become a high-quality point guard. All-Star Game The back-to-court triple-double average average of 21+11+9, with a three-point shooting percentage of 46% subverting the question of "no range". The Bulls offered qualification quotations, but Kobe White had a position conflict; the Thunder and Rockets may have a surprise quotation of 120 million in four years

2. Quentin Grimes: an integrated wing of offense and defense, a three-point shooting percentage of 39% + bite defense, the Thibodeau system has verified its durability, and the pursuit of an average salary of 20 million has led to a deadlock, and the 76ers' qualification quotation is only 8 million in one year.

3. Kumingga: Top dynamic talent, strong breakthrough and killing, averaged 16 points + 48% shooting percentage, restricted free agent status + ball rights demand, and now he is forced to get a qualification quote from the Warriors.

4. Paul: The pick-and-roll scores in the league in 9th, and the assists in 35 minutes are still ranked among the top five. He insists on starting requirements to conflict with the Clippers/Lakers' existing lineup. Young teams such as the Spurs can meet the position but have no championship strength.

5. Al Horford: Experience-based inside, support + frame protection contribution stable, playoff three-point shooting percentage is 41%, Lake Yong's lineup is not competitive, or retires directly instead of "sustaining the run.

6. Chris Boucher: Intermediate-type five small center, three-point shooting percentage is 36% + average 1.2 blocks per game, and the data can reach 20+9 in 36 minutes. The weak confrontation leads to limited protection of the frame, and it is impossible to defend the No. 5 position for a long time.

7 , Cameron Thomas: Average 24 points, showing the characteristics of a pure scorer, with a single-player efficiency in the league, weak weaving ability, 1.6 assist and turnover ratio, which can easily destroy the team's offensive rhythm. Rebuilding teams such as the Pistons and Hornets can provide ball trial and error, but they need to accept a one-year 15 million "inspection contract".

8. Dantoni Melton: a top 3D defender, with a leadership and defense ability and a 38% career three-point shooting percentage, can cover the defense of the No. 1-2, and is in good condition after major injuries. Suspicious, but at the age of 27, there is a recovery expectation.

9. Russell Westbrook: After transforming into a blue-collar point guard, the efficiency of defensive fighting and breakthrough passes has been significantly improved, and the three-point stability is insufficient (career average of 29.1%) is easy to be targeted by space teams. If you accept a basic salary, you can partner with Antetokounmpo to exert the impact of pick-and-roll, or reunited with Sabonis to fill the gap in the substitute point guard. The flight to Los Angeles is only 1 hour away from Los Angeles to meet family needs.

The remaining hot guys in the free market are actually the ultimate multiple-choice questions for "high risk and high return". The championship team bets on veterans such as Westbrook and Boucher, which is actually the X factor for key rounds with meager salary. The championship team bets on veterans such as Westbrook and Boucher, which is actually the X factor for key rounds with meager salary. The playoff team grabs Gidey and Grimes, which is actually the core of the future before the salary cap soars. So everyone thinks these nine players will go there on the offseason, welcome to discuss!
