Take advantage of the previous shame! Take a look at the top 5 stars who have completely proved themselves in this year s playoffs: Randall is on the list

As we all know, the intensity of the NBA playoffs is far beyond that of the regular season, so we often see that some players are prone to perform abnormally once they arrive in the playoffs, and these players are labeled as being labeled as having to perform only in the regular season. For example, Crawford, the retired three-time best sixth man winner, has multiple seasons averaging 18+ games in the regular season, but in the playoffs, he averaged only 14.3 points and his shooting percentage was only 38.6%.

However, not every player labeled this. They have been like this throughout their careers. There are still many players in history who suddenly get enlightened at a certain stage of their career, so they have been able to successfully prove themselves in the playoffs. This is the case with the five major stars we will take in next. They finally proved their strength this year's playoffs, so let's see who they are!

5. Trent

Average 18.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.6 steals in the playoffs this season, Trent had enjoyed core treatment before this season. His average playing time was more than 30 minutes at the Raptors. He averaged 18.3 points per game in the 2021-2022 season. However, it was this season's playoffs that Trent gradually lowered his value. He averaged only 15.3 points per game in the playoffs. The most important thing is that his shooting percentage is only 37.8%. Such performance undoubtedly reduced the Raptors' expectations for him. Later, after he became a free agent last year, he could only sign a basic salary with the Bucks.

Trent averaged 11.1 points per game in the regular season this season, which looked average, but in fact he is already one of the best shooters in the team. He averaged 2.4 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 41.6%. Although the Bucks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, Trent's outbreak still allowed people to see his evolution. He scored 37 points and 33 points in G3 and G5 respectively, and the combined three-pointers in the two games were 17 of 29 shots. In this way, he has made a complete mark. He will definitely win a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions of yuan this offseason.

4.Zubac

Average 17.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1 block in the playoffs this season, this season can be said to be a year of qualitative change in Zubac. Last season, he averaged only 11.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in the regular season. This year's regular season data soared to 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. Not only did he have the top low-post skills in the active center, but he is also one of the players with the strongest ability to protect the rim on the defensive end. Therefore, fans of the playoffs are also looking forward to his performance this year.

, and facing the league's strongest center Jokic, Zubac performed his mission well. Under his defense, Jokic only had 30+ in one game in the entire series, and Tianwangshan and tiebreak only had 13 points and 16 points respectively. Although Zubac's scoring cap is not high enough on the offensive end, he has also played 27 points, 21 points and 13 rebounds in a single game. Unfortunately, the Clippers still failed to win in the end. They also wasted Zubac's outstanding performance in this round of series.

3. Cunningham

Average 25 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 blocks,

Cunningham has been controversial in the league over the past three years, on the one hand, because of his poor attendance rate, and his performance on the court is completely unsatisfactory. However, Cunningham ushered in a turning point in his career this season. He averaged 26.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1 steal per game in the regular season. Under his leadership, the Pistons successfully returned to the playoffs. At this time, he proved that the team did not train him in vain.

When facing the Knicks in the playoffs, although it can be seen that Cunningham's scoring ability is still not stable, even so he still supported the average output of 25+, and his passes, rebounds, and defense have also performed very well. Therefore, even if the Pistons lost in the end, Cunningham, who made the first playoffs, has already achieved quite satisfactory personal performance. Considering that he is only 23 years old, his potential in the future is still immeasurable.

2. Wagner Jr.

Average of 25.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals in the playoffs this season. Since the Magic selected Wagner Jr. and Bancero, the team has regained competitiveness, and they have returned to the playoffs last year. However, Wagner Jr. performed very poorly at that time. He failed to score 20+ in 5 games against the Cavaliers. In addition, he had a shooting percentage of less than 30% in 3 games. Among them, he made 1 of 15 shots in the tiebreak and scored only 6 points. In the end, the team also fell in the first round. Such performance undoubtedly gave him a lot of doubts.

However, when Wagner Jr. made another playoff this season, his personal performance has at least improved visible compared to last year. While the three-pointers are still declining severely, he still provides considerable offensive production efficiency. While averaging 25+ games, his overall shooting percentage is also 44.3%. Although the Magic still lost this time, no one predicted that they could defeat the Celtics at the beginning, so young players like Wagner, as long as they play with their style, the Magic only needs to continue to build a team around them.

1. Randall

Average 23.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6 assists in the playoffs this season, Randall's past experience in the playoffs can be said to be the most terrible. He has not averaged 20+ points in the playoffs before, and his shooting percentage is below 40%. Faced with high-intensity defense, Randall is easily out of control on the court, which will greatly affect his decision-making.. Because of this, when Randle was sent to the Timberwolves last year, the outside world thought that this team was "crazy". How could they get such a player after they just reached the Western Conference Final last year?

As a result, Randall slapped people who are not optimistic about him in the face. He undoubtedly played at the top second-in-command level this year's playoffs. Not only did he score stable in the tough score, but his passing also played a crucial role in the team. Taking this into account, he already performed better than Towns in the past. Judging from the current situation, the Timberwolves also have great hopes to return to the Western Conference Finals, and it would not be particularly surprising if they can reach the finals this year.
