[What to watch in the new season] When the new stars in the league shine, which players do you think can make a leap in the new season?

In less than a week, the new NBA regular season will officially begin. A group of ambitious young players are already gearing up and preparing to step onto the court to show off their offseason progress.

After the start of every new season, there will be a large number of young talents that make people sigh, "We must wait and see with admiration after leaving for three days." So in your mind, which young players will show off their talents in the 25-26 season?

Brothers Amen and Osar: The new All-Star brother combination

Last season, the brothers Amen and Osar Thompson have fully demonstrated their potential and become the most formidable forward defenders in the league.

Amen averaged 32.2 minutes per game last season, scoring 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks. His shooting percentage was as high as 55.7%. He was selected to the All-Defensive Team in the second year of his career.

Osar is not far behind. In 22.5 minutes of playing time last season, he averaged 10.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game. His steal ability is even better than that of his brother.

It is foreseeable that the two people in the young team will have more opportunities in the new season. They will also be the core members of the Rockets and Pistons for many years to come. Especially Amen Thompson, with the Rockets starting point guard VanVleet being reimbursed, he is regarded as an important organizer of the Rockets in the new season, and his role on the offensive end will also be further improved.

In the new season, we may see a pair of brothers join hands to be selected for the All-Defensive Team; in the near future, maybe there will be another pair of brothers in the NBA playing side by side in the All-Star Game.

Nembhard: The new head coach of the Eastern Conference champions

The Pacers' playoff journey last season amazed countless fans, and the performance of backup point guard Andrew Nembhard was also deeply remembered by the fans.

In the previous two seasons, Nembhard performed extremely well in the playoffs. For the first time in his career, he averaged 14.9 points and 5.5 assists per game, with a terrifying shooting percentage of 56%/48.3%. Last season, he averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and also achieved 46.5% three-pointers. His performance in single-handedly challenging Alexander several times in the finals also showed his heroic appearance.

Haliburton's serious injury in the tiebreaker of the Finals disrupted the team's future plans, but it also created an opportunity for Nembhard to evolve. After Harry's collapse, Nembhard will surely become the team's main defender in the new season. He is also the only defender in the team who combines organizational offense + personal development in a more balanced way. In the new season, more ball rights will inevitably be tilted toward him.

In addition, the Pacers have always had a great metaphysical tradition - when the core of the team falls, there is always another person who quickly grows into the new core, from Granger to George, and then from George to Oladipo, to Sabonis, TJ Warren, Brogdon, Haliburton...

Will Nembhard be the next one?

Gidi and Buzelis: Chicago's white twin stars

The Bulls' team-building ideas in recent years have been confusing to fans. However, they have accumulated a number of extremely talented young players, especially Josh Guidy and Matas Buzelis.

Gidi's performance in the second half of last season was perfect. In the 19 games after the All-Star Game, he averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 50%/45.7%. His performance at this stage was completely at the level of an All-Star or even the best lineup.

The Lakers' performance in the two games was even more explosive. In the first game, they led the Bulls to a bloodbath in the away game with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists and 8 steals. In the second game, they scored 25 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, and hit a long three-pointer from the backcourt against James, leaving a famous scene in NBA history.

Last year's No. 11 pick Buzelis also played an "upgrade" performance after the All-Star Game. From February to the end of the season, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 26.9 minutes per game. He also contributed a representative performance of 31 points in a single game in the victory over the Lakers, and also left a famous scene in which he tricked Doncic into dunks with bad luck.

23-year-old Gidi and 21-year-old Buzelis, coupled with a young team willing to provide them with a stage, two white rising stars have risen in Chicago.

Afdija: The Trail Blazers' leader for many years to come

Afdija's NBA career so far has perfectly interpreted "one step at a time", and his performance has improved in each of the five years of his career.

After joining the Trail Blazers, Avdija has shown himself to be a general. Last season, he averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

Especially after his tactical position was clearly defined as the "point forward" in the second half of the season, he averaged 23.4 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game in 13 games in March, with a shooting percentage of 51%/45.7%. In April, he averaged 31.3 points, 13.7 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

The performance at the end of last season is the best proof of his unlimited potential, and I believe it must have made Billups clear about his core position in the team.

We have reason to believe that the Trail Blazers have found their core leader for many years to come.

In addition to the above-mentioned dazzling new stars, there are many young talents waiting to take off in the new season. Marcelin, Selden Sharp, Shepard and others are also regarded by ESPN as strong contenders for the most improved player in the new season.

Which new star do you think will make a big leap in the new season? Let us witness the answer in the upcoming new season.
