US media rated the top 5 active NBA players: Doncic ranked fourth, no suspense at the top

In recent seasons, the distribution of stars' strength in the league has changed a lot, with some old players gradually retreating behind the scenes, while young players stand on the center of the stage. Under such circumstances, US media Will Sports has named the top five active NBA players, and none of the three veteran stars of Jendoku were on the list. Let’s take a look at who they are!

5: Tatum

Tatum actually has performed very stably since entering the league. He has shown a superstar appearance in his rookie season, especially after dunking James in the East Finals, his career has been shining in the spotlight. Fortunately, Tatum is also quite successful. He won himself the Celtics' first core position with his perfect performance. Since the 21-22 season, Tatum has entered a row for a row. During this period, he led the team to the finals twice and won the championship in 24 years. Although he did not win the FMVP, his role in the game is obvious to all. After all, he is the first core of the team, and Tatum needs to restrain both offense and defense. Moreover, Tatum has been in the All-Star six times so far in his career, and has averaged 26+8+6 per game, and his performance is very stable.

It's just that Tatum suffered an Achilles tendon injury in this playoffs, which also cast a shadow on his future career. However, referring to Durant's previous recovery, I believe Tatum can also return to his peak in the future. Judging from Tatum's current achievements, he is the top five players in the league.

4: Doncic

Doncic is also the best young players in the active NBA. Since entering the league, he has been attracting fans' attention. Since his second-year season, he has entered the first team for five consecutive times, and has also led the Mavericks to the finals in 24 years. His team-leading and bottom-up ability is the top level in the league. As a ball-holding core, he can sort out the team's offense in an orderly manner. Although Doncic is not very good at running and jumping, he can use his own rhythm and skills to play very outstanding offensive levels. Moreover, Doncic can use his offensive threat to create a very good scoring space for his teammates. This is the basis for him to become the top ball-leading core in the league.

Moreover, in order to get Doncic, the Lakers even sent out Davis, and couldn't wait to renew their contract with Doncic's maximum salary during the offseason. This is Doncic's charm. As long as he is kept, the team's future performance will not be a problem. In the current NBA, few players have personal abilities like Doncic, so it is no surprise that he ranks in the top five.

3: Alexander

Alexander is actually the top young player in the NBA. His personal ability and achievements are unique. He has entered the first team three times in the past three seasons, and he led the Thunder to rank first in the league last season. He also won the scoring champion and MVP with a data average of 32.7 points per game. The team also defeated the Pacers in the finals and won the championship. Alexander has thus become one of the few players in the NBA who can win MVP + scoring champion + FMVP in a single season. Based on this alone, he is already the best player under the age of 30 in the current NBA.

On the court, Alexander is not the kind of player who only attacks but not defends. His stealing ability is very excellent. Under his leadership, the Thunder has become a team that has both offense and defense. Alexander is now at the peak, and the Thunder's championship lineup is also maintained intact. He still has a chance to win more honors. He is ranked third but is not very high.

2: Antetokounmpo, 30 years old, is still one of the strongest players in the league. His bottom-up ability is very good. Last season, the Bucks once ranked at the bottom of the Eastern Conference in the regular season, but he forced the team to the playoffs with his personal performance and won the NBA Cup in the middle. In the past five seasons, Antetokounmpo has been in the All-Squad for five consecutive times, and has led the Bucks to the championship in 21 years, and has also won the FMVP trophy himself.

Since then, Antetokounmpo has been the veritable best player in the Bucks history. It is rare for Antetokounmpo to be the top players in the league on both offense and defense. After all, he has won both MVP and DPOY in a single season. The combination of offense and defense is about players of his level. So after Antetokounmpo's intention to leave the team, the Bucks spent so much effort to keep him. His every move directly touched the hearts of many other teams. Many teams in the league want to get him, and he is also a well-deserved top five active NBA players.

1: Jokic

The player ranked first is naturally Jokic. He is also a well-deserved active NBA best player. In the past five seasons, Rioki has won three MVPs, four times into the first team and once into the second team. And in 23 years, he led the Nuggets to win the first championship in team history and also won the FMVP trophy himself. As a center, he not only has solid basic skills in the inside, but also has top-notch shooting ability on the outside, and he also has a rare passing ability at the center position. His comprehensiveness is considered historical.

Last season, Jokic also averaged triple-double as a center player. He has a very strong influence on the court, and the entire Nuggets system is centered on him. Generally speaking, teammates who play around Jokic can also perform at a better level. This is Jokic's influence, and he is also a well-deserved active NBA best player.
