After a season of hard work, the 2024-2025 rookie players were finally released through voting. This rookie may not be as impressive as before, but there were also Spurs No. 4 Stephen Show Castle who played, with strong overall strength and won 20+ in a single game many times, which has also been recognized by everyone. After all, it’s the New Year of the Draft, so it’s good to be able to play one or two. This is the first season, and the demon star hasn’t appeared yet! The 2024-2025 rookie best players were released in the first round, especially the No. 1 and 4 picks, Stephen Castle from the San Antonio Spurs, averaged 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists per game, and made 81 appearances. The No. 9 pick, Zhou Zhihao from the Memphis Grizzlies averaged 9.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1 assist, and made 66 appearances.

3, No. 1 pick, Rissache from the Atlanta Hawks, averaged 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists per game, and made 75 appearances.

4, second-tier pick, Alex Sal from the Washington Wizards, averaged 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and made 67 appearances.

5 and 39th picks, Jaren Wells from the Memphis Grizzlies averaged 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 79 appearances. He is the only second round rookie in the first round. The second team of the 2024-2025 Rookie Best Player was released. They are especially the No. 11 picks, Boozelis from the Chicago Bulls, averaging 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1 assist, with a total of 80 appearances. The No. 14 pick, Carrington from the Washington Wizards averaged 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game, with a total of 82 appearances. The No. 3 and 7th picks, Donovan Klingen from the Portland Trail Blazers averaged 6.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game, with a total of 67 appearances. The No. 21 pick, Missy from the New Orleans Pelicans averaged 9.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, with a total of 73 appearances.

5 and 15th picks, Weal, from the Miami Heat, averaged 9.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and made a total of 64 games. The performance of the 10 players above

is obvious to everyone. The playing time and exposure rate are relatively outstanding for this year's players. It can see their potential and will also be the focus of the league's training in the future.

The regretful player with only one vote was missing: Collier

, and Utah Jazz rookie bighead Collier won one first vote and 50 second votes, with a total of 52 points. He lost to Wizards rookie Carrington by 1 point and missed the second team. Collier has played 71 games this season, averaging 25.9 minutes per game, scoring 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks.

Players who failed to be selected due to injury: Little Magic Fairy McCain

Philadelphia 76ers rookie McCain only got one first vote and five second votes, ranking 16th in total 7 points. McCain averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in the rookie season, and led the rookie list for a long time. Unfortunately, he suffered a tear of the meniscus on the outside of his left knee and played only 23 games.

The player who opened high and closed low and failed to prove his player: Shepard showed Shepard, because the Rockets had too many talents and could not line up for playing time, which led to Shepard opening high and closing low. He was expected to win the best rookie at the beginning of the season, but the louder the call, the more realistic the different. Shepard only won one second vote this season, with 1 point, the lowest total score among rookies. Shepard has played in 52 regular season games this season, averaging 4.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting percentage of 35.1% and three-point shooting percentage of 33.8%.

Finally, although the rookie selection this season has ended, those who are excellent at the beginning do not mean that they will succeed in the end. The career is still long, and being proud for a moment does not mean that they are all good. Shepard must know shame before being brave, and prove himself with practical actions.
