Despite recently defeating the struggling Phoenix Suns and returning to the ranks of victory, the Golden State Warriors can only be described as performing averagely. In the first month at the start of the season, the Warriors looked like a championship-level team, but since then, they have taken a sharp turn for the worse and recently appear more like a play-in tournament-level team. Even after making a small trade and acquiring Dennis Schroder, there has been little change, with the Warriors achieving only a 2-4 record in the six games Schroder has played. The team's top star, Stephen Curry, remains at the peak of his game, often doing incredible things; rookie Jonathan Kuminga seems to have finally found the role that suits him best, with his recent performance also showing improvement; Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green's performances have basically reached their standards. However, some of the other established players in the Warriors' supporting cast, after a strong start to the season, have seen their performances plummet to the bottom, especially this season's important acquisition, Buddy Hield. Hield's performance at the beginning of the season was very impressive, with the former sixth overall pick often displaying shooting abilities from beyond the three-point line comparable to those of Klay Thompson in his prime. Even during the early part of the season when Curry missed multiple games due to injury, the Warriors relied on his offensive performance to maintain stability. Since Hield spent most of his time coming off the bench, he became a hot candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year…

Translation of the article content into English: Jokic is the face of the league today. As a second-round pick, his skills were not top-notch, and his athletic ability was not outstanding when he participated in the draft, so he was not favored at all. If someone had said back then that this chubby second-round pick would become an MVP player in the future, they would have been laughed at. However, he has now become the strongest player from the 2014 draft class. After playing for 10 years, Jokic's total score has exceeded 15,000 points. How many points have other star players from the same draft class, such as Embiid, Wiggins, and Randle, scored? In today's game against the Jazz, Jokic scored a huge triple-double with 36 points, 22 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading his team to victory. As the 2014 draft pick, he has been in the league for 10 years. Starting as a second-round pick, he has become the best player in the league. So far in his career, Jokic averages an unstoppable 21.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 7 assists per game, with a total score exceeding 15,000 points. He is the scoring champion of the 14th draft class and also the most accomplished star. Besides Jokic, there is another MVP player from the 14th draft class, Embiid. He was a super rookie back then and was widely regarded as a potential number one pick, eventually being selected third overall. Although he missed early games due to injury, he has maintained top-level personal performance since joining the league. Embiid…
