The new king is the only one! Who is the best young player in these four championships? Alexander is expected to win MVP+FMVP

After two rounds of series fighting, 12 teams have been eliminated in the playoffs, so only 4 teams behind can still attack the final championship. It is worth mentioning that among the remaining four teams, the last time one of them won the championship was the Thunder in 1979, and they were called the Supersonics at that time, and like the Timberwolves and Pacers, they have never had any experience in winning the championship in their team history.

In addition, among the four teams, Thunder, Timberwolves, Knicks and Pacers, their core players are very young, so it can be said that this season is the ending of the new king. Then we will take a look at the number one stars in these teams. Which of them looks the most champion? Let’s take a look together below!

4. Jaylen Brunson

Average 28.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 7.7 assists in the playoffs,

When Brunson was selected in the third pick in the second round in 2018, no one in the outside world would have thought that he would one day become an All-Star player. When the Mavericks played, Brunson was regarded as the deputy attacker around Doncic. He made an amazing personal performance in the 2022 playoffs. At that time, he averaged 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game. Brunson attracted the attention of the New York Knicks, and the two sides also successfully reached a signing contract in the following offseason. After joining the Knicks, Brunson's strength has made great progress, so he was selected into the All-Star and Best Team. In the past two seasons, he has also achieved a well-deserved team leader. However, before the start of this year's playoffs, the outside world was still not optimistic about Brunson and the Knicks. Since they were in the same division as the Celtics, many people predicted that they would likely fall in the second round.

But now, the outside world obviously underestimates the Knicks' strength. Under the leadership of Brunson, they eliminated the Celtics 4-2. Whenever the game reaches a critical moment, Brunson can always play better than the double-Tanhua, which is one of the important reasons why they win. If Brunson really leads the team to win the championship next time, the Knicks will also win the first championship since 1973. Considering the advantages of being in New York, this championship will also greatly enhance the influence and commercial value of him and the team.

3.Tyres Halliburton averaged 17.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 9.3 assists in the playoffs. After being selected by the Kings in 2020, Halliburton did not have enough room for development there. He and Fox were still a little incompatible, so the Kings chose to trade Halliburton to the Pacers in the 2021-2022 season. After coming to the new team, Halliburton's progress has been much faster. In the 2022-2023 season, he averaged 20.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game, so he was successfully selected as the All-Star.

After Halliburton's arrival, the Pacers' performance also improved to the naked eye. Last season, they reached the division finals again after many years. Halliburton was in poor form at the beginning of this season. Fortunately, as the regular season deepened, he and the Pacers played better, so in the end they achieved a record of 50+ wins, which is also the first time they have played like this since 2014.

However, before the start of the playoffs, the outside world was also not optimistic about the Pacers, because the Cavaliers who won 64 wins in the regular season were in the same division as them, so most people predicted that they would fall in the second round. But after the two sides officially met, the Pacers solved the battle in just 5 games, and they completely defeated the Cavaliers in this round of the series. In this round of the series, Halliburton not only performed 30+ and 20+10 in a single game, but also played a quasi-winning scene again after the first round. As the Pacers' offensive core, although Halliburton's data may not be as luxurious as the other three, his role is still irreplaceable, and this year's playoffs he proved that he is still trustworthy at a critical moment.

2. Anthony Edwards

Average 26.5 points, 8 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.5 steals in the playoffs, since entering the league, Edwards has repeatedly proved his ability to lead the team and his potential to shine in high-end games. Under his leadership, the Timberwolves have made it into the playoffs for four consecutive years, and they have entered the Western Conference Finals in the past two seasons. You should know that before he entered the league, the Timberwolves had only reached one Western Conference Finals in history.

Before leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Final this year, the outside world was also obsessed with the voices of Edwards and the Timberwolves. As a result, with his help, the team defeated the Lakers and Warriors in a row, and only lost two games in the two rounds of series. However, in the Western Conference Finals, the Timberwolves may truly usher in a series of games at a disadvantage. After all, the strength of the opponent is not comparable to that of the Lakers and the Warriors.

But for Edwards, he needs to go through this series, and only such experience can make him a better player. The past playoff defeat has inspired Edwards to become one of the best guards in the current service. He not only has explosive dunks on the court, but also has shot one of the best three-pointers in the league this season. It is precisely because his current ball-holding shot is too strong, more and more teams will choose to double-team him directly.

1. Alexander

Average 29 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.5 steals in the playoffs

Alexander, who has been rising in recent years, has truly entered the top three in the league this season. As of now, it is basically a foregone conclusion that he was elected as a regular season MVP.. However, because of this, the outside world has higher expectations for Alexander's performance in the playoffs, so his performance was not satisfactory at the beginning. In the first round of the series swept the Grizzlies, he shot less than 40% of his shooting percentage in three games.

, facing the Nuggets later, Alexander's performance in the front was not very stable. Fortunately, he regained his regular season form in the last three games. Not only did he score 30+ in a row, but his shooting percentage in the last two games was as high as more than 60%. Under Alexander's leadership, the Thunder successfully defeated the Nuggets. At present, they are undoubtedly the most promising teams among the existing teams.

Since James in 2013, no player in the league has won MVP+FMVP in a single season, but Alexander is expected to successfully replicate this feat. Considering his unique personal strength in the Thunder, as long as the Thunder can win the championship, he can basically lock in the FMVP.
