Some scouts swear that Chris Paul can do anything in the backcourt, just like the former superstar Isiah Thomas, but maybe he will be the next Kenny Anderson. To be sure, he is at least a reliable backcourt organizer, even though Paul is not even 6 feet tall. The competition between Paul and Darren Williams will start from the draft, and perhaps Paul's ranking can be improved, because his affinity can effectively promote the team's box office.
Chris Paul, a young rookie who is only 1.83 meters tall, has only played in the NBA for one month, but he has won two very loud titles: "NBA queen bee" and "second smiling assassin"!
However, Bumblebee No.4 rookie prefers to mention Duncan, a senior at Wake Forest University, a famous NCAA school. Paul said: "I am Duncan's junior, and his grades are like a mountain in front." More importantly, he showed us the way forward. My goal is to succeed like Duncan! "
Although Paul is far from Duncan's achievements, he played quite well in the "rookie" season and achieved two successes: beautiful data and impressive record.
In the first month of the game, 20-year-old Paul averaged 16.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists (scoring and assisting the team first), which is unmatched by any rookie. Even among about 450 players in the NBA, he is one of the three-pointers averaging 15+, 5+ and 5+, and the other two.
With such excellent performance, he was unanimously elected as the best in the West in the first month of the NBA. His outstanding performance even made people forget Bogut, the top scholar.
Hornets, assigned to the west when the NBA re-divided the division last season, played the role of super fish and "philanthropist". 18 wins and 64 losses made people laugh. To make matters worse, the Hornets' only two stars, byron davis and Magloire, have left. At the beginning of this season, people thought that the wasp would once again become a "philanthropist" who added points to western powers.
But rookie Paul said "no", although after the first 16 games, the Hornets ranked eighth in the West with 8 wins and 8 losses, which made people stunned. But as a rookie, Paul's performance of not getting stage fright at the crucial moment is impressive. As Duncan's younger brother, he inherited the advantages of "Stone Buddha" excellent mental state, and scored continuously at the most critical moment of the game to help the team win. When playing the Rockets away from home without McGrady, it was Paul who hit twice before the last game, laying the foundation for the Hornets. Get 15 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Yao Ming praised the rookie: "How did he score that goal?" ? We have a tight defense against him, but he can still pitch. "
Advantages: Paul has all the abilities of a defender, not only helping players score points, but also maintaining a stable shooting percentage at critical moments. In addition, Paul is also good at stealing, which plays an important role in the team's defense. He may become the leader of the team in the next few years. In addition, Paul's excellent three-pointer technique is also one of his deadly weapons.
Disadvantages: Short stature is Paul's achilles heel. 1.85 meters is not extremely short, but it does not have any advantage in the NBA. If you meet a better defender in the game, he will try harder to defend. In addition, Paul is just 20 years old this year, and it takes several years to grow up in the NBA.
