Am I a substitute? Five leading stars who may be replaced by the second leading player this season: Embiid leads the way

On November 21, after the new NBA season started, the biggest feeling that gave me was that young players have begun to realize their talents. Even rookies like the 25th class, many of them have performed very well. According to the current situation, many young players may become the core of the team due to their outstanding performance. Having said that, there may be many team bosses who will be replaced by second bosses this season. Let's take a look at these bosses.

Embid

Embiid was really powerful in his peak period. He was the second center in active service. Now Embiid is also at his peak, but Embiid's biggest problem is his insufficient attendance rate. Last season, the 76ers made a fuss. When there were conflicts in the locker room, many veterans supported Maxi as the team boss. At that time, Maxi was not qualified for this position in terms of ability. But now Maxi is different. His ability is no worse than Embiid. The key is that he is more like a leader.

First of all, Maxi's attendance rate is high enough, and he can also stand up and set an example at critical moments. His leadership qualities are very good, and his performance is outstanding. So far this season, Maxi has averaged 33.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. His three-point shooting percentage is 42.1%, he averages 4.1 three-pointers per game, and ranks second in the league in points per game. Even with Embiid and George absent for a long time, he still leads the team to the top six in the Eastern Conference, which is worthy of praise.

Durant

Durant has become the leader of the Rockets. After he joined the Rockets, a group of young players on the team followed him, and Durant came to play critical moments for the team. This is a shortcoming that the young Rockets players have always had. They still lack experience, so they also respect Durant very much. But after the start of this season, Durant's position as the boss quickly became unstable because Shen Jing's performance was too eye-catching.

Durant does still have good scoring ability, but he is already 37 years old. When facing top defenders, his offensive efficiency is not as good as before, and his physical fitness is not good. Therefore, many times, when the team needs to score, Durant may have problems with inefficiency or frequent mistakes. Therefore, Shen Jing will step up at this time. This season, Shen Jing has played at the level of the top five insiders in the league. The key is that his organizational skills are still very good, he is simply like a little Jokic.

Three goals

Three goals were drafted in 2020. After only playing for a few years, he is about to lose his position as the boss. He will be replaced by rookie Knippel. Knippel has shown better stability, high enough golf IQ, does not play blindly, and has better shooting. Unlike Three Balls, who just shoots blindly when holding the ball. Although Three Balls is positioned as a core player with the ball, his offensive ability is not very good. This season, he averaged 21 points and 9 assists per game. His average points per game are generated by his high shooting rights.

Today, there was news in the US media that Sangoo intends to leave the team, but Sangou himself refuted the rumor. Although the rumor was refuted, to be honest, if the current situation develops, even if Sangoo does not want to leave, the Hornets will trade him away to correct Knipur. As a rookie, Knipoel averaged 18 points and 3 assists per game, 40% three-point shooting rate, and averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game. He may have a chance to become the next Curry.

White

After LaVine lost his core position last season, White became the boss of the Bulls. When he expected to rise to the top, the Bulls did not even renew his contract during the offseason. Under such circumstances, he planned to prove himself with a brilliant performance in the regular season, but after returning, he lost his starting position. Now the team has started to build around Gidi, and the team's record is not bad. If the current game continues, White may always serve as a substitute.

White does still have a very good scoring ability. After his comeback, he averaged 26 points and 7.5 assists per game, but Guidi led the team to a better record, and he also drove the performance of his teammates very well. This season, he averaged 20.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 9.0 rebounds per game. With 7 assists and 1 steal, he averaged a near-triple-double per game. Under his leadership, the Bulls are now ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. Before Gidi was injured, the Bulls had been among the top five in the Eastern Conference. In terms of leadership ability, White still has a gap. He should be the second in charge when he comes back.

Trae Young

After Trae Young was injured, the Hawks' record rose instead of falling. This also exposed the former top ball-handling core. When Trae Young was there in the past, the Hawks also It's a ranking around the play-offs. As a result, after Trae Young was injured, the Hawks are now in the top five in the Eastern Conference. They have won 7 of the past 10 games. Without Trae Young, the team's defense is top two in the league, and the offensive end is also more blossoming.

It used to be Trae Young who had always affected the Hawks' record. Now Jaylen Johnson can completely take his place and lead the Hawks further. Under such circumstances, after Trae Young returns, I think the Hawks may send him away at the trade deadline. After all, it is useless to keep him and it will delay the team's pursuit of record. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 5 players? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
