Rise in silence! Three people are making great strides to make silent combat power!

was named on NBA draft night, which is already rare among players of the same age. If you are selected in the first round with guaranteed salary, it is a high-level recognition.

is just for popular new players with the first few picks. Most teams will tailor their training plans. In the first round, the team will mostly position the gaps needed by the team, and the players' personal development will not be given priority for the first round rookies in the middle and late rounds.

In this article, we list three wing players. The positioning roles given when entering the current team are not high, but they all have become the mainstay of the team's specific roles. With their own game experience and skills, they have performed further in the regular season or playoffs this season.

The three are Braun of the Nuggets, Nesmith of the Pacers, and McDaniels of the Timberwolves.

Braun: A ghost card next to Jokic, who was selected by the Nuggets with the 21st pick in 2022, won the highest single-game 21 points in his career playoffs in the tiebreak against the Clippers. In the end, the Nuggets also eliminated the Clippers 120-101 and advanced to the next round.

In fact, since Bruce Brown and Pope left the team one after another, Braun's responsibility for the Nuggets has gradually been heavy, with his playing time increased from 20.2 minutes to 33.9 minutes, and his personal data has also increased significantly, with his scoring improved from 7.3 points to 15.4 points, and almost all the data has reached a career high. The most commendable thing is that the number of shots increased from 5.9 to 10.4 times, and the shooting percentage has also been significantly improved:

The shooting percentage has increased from 46% to 58%, the three-point shooting percentage has increased from 38.4% to 39.7%, the free throw shooting percentage has increased from 68.4% to 82.7%, and the real shooting percentage has increased from 55.4% to 66.5%.

such progress also made Braun take for granted the discussion of the fastest progress, but due to too many players who have made significant progress this season, Braun only got 9 first votes out of 100 votes, ranking the fastest progress fourth with a total score of 120 points. However, after Braun’s Nuggets eliminated the Clippers, Dyson Daniels, second place Zubac and third place Cunningham have all stopped in the playoffs.

is not just personal progress, the team is also the farthest. Now it depends on where Braun and the Nuggets can advance to this season.

NeSmith: Halliburton's sword guard

When mentioning the key players related to "Aaron" this season's playoffs, most people should think of Aaron Gordon, who dunked the Clippers and three-pointer to the Thunder, but outside Aaron Gordon, after the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers two consecutive games, we should also remember Aaron Nesmith, especially when the team was in the chase stage and Siakam failed to make a free throw, Nesmith rushed in and made a makeover, and coupled with Mitchell's close defense in the whole game, he created the Cavaliers' offensive foul in the final stage.

Neismith, who was selected by the Celtics with the 14th pick in 2020 (this sign comes from the Grizzlies, and was given to the Celtics in the Jeff Green trade case in 2015), came to the Pacers in the Brogodon trade case. Nesmith, who was originally a little embarrassed in figure and did not have many opportunities to play in the Celtics, was spotted by Carlisle and entered the starting lineup in the 2022-23 season. Halliburton, who partnered with Halliburton, who ranked 11th in the same echelon, became the new core of the Pacers.

The Pacers also attach great importance to this player. They renewed their contract with Nesmith in the summer of 2023 with 33 million in advance. In the series against the Pacers last year, Nesmith made great contributions. The last few games were even more impressive for Brunson's defensive tasks. The final game of the series was even more famous, making 8 shots from 8 shots, which is a classic personal battle.

Neismith has grown significantly this season. Although he was absent due to injury for a period of time at the beginning of the season, after the All-Star Game, Nesmith averaged 15 points per game, shooting percentages of 52.2%, 45.3%, and 92.2% of the three games, and he can score 2.5 three-pointers per game. Thanks to Nesmith's recovery in form, it is also the key for the Pacers to win 34 wins and 14 losses after 2025 and run to the top four in the East.

Average data in the regular season, 12 points, 4 rebounds and 1.2 assists, with shooting percentages in the three events of 50.7%, 43.1%, and 91.3%, respectively. In the playoffs, he relied on his average of 15.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 53.3%, becoming the most difficult player in the Pacers.

McDaniels: The best deputy of the Young Master Wolf King

From 2020 to now, there are only three players left in the Wolves team, including Naz Reed, who turned from a two-way contract in the summer of 2019, Edwards, the No. 1 pick at that time, and Jaden McDaniels, who ranked 28th in the same echelon.

As a fast-rise wing lock in recent years, the average score per game in the regular season reached a career-high 12.2 points. In the first round of the playoffs, facing the Lakers with an outstanding performance of 17.4 points and 6.4 rebounds, becoming the most unexpected injury for the Lakers.

Like his new teammate Randle this season, McDaniels's debut team should also be in the Lakers. Originally, McDaniels was also selected by the Lakers, but the Lakers sent him and Danny Green to the Thunder to trade Schroder on draft night, and the Thunder then packaged him and Rubio and sent him to the Timberwolves..

After coming to the young Timberwolves, McDaniels grew up with a fast speed and gradually became the most difficult defensive line beside the new wolf king Edwards, and started full-time as the team's starting striker in the 2022-23 season.

When the Timberwolves made a blowout deal with Gobert and Towns one after another, the management obviously gave enough trust to the three most experienced players in the team. In particular, Gobert's penalty area defense spread throughout the game with the help of McDaniels, or McDaniels was responsible for filling the defensive end issues after Randle's arrival. In the first round of the playoffs, in addition to the defensive foundation, McDaniels showed offensive energy that completely exceeded the Timberwolves' expectations. In the second round, when Curry was injured and left the front, the Warriors' offensive center of gravity was greatly shifted to wing players such as Butler, Hilder, and even Cuminga. The match between these wing forwards and McDaniels is also the key to determining this round of series to some extent.

Speaking of this, it is really a bit special for the Warriors and the Timberwolves series. Looking at Gobert with the 27th pick, McDaniels with the 28th pick, Naz Reed with the undraft, Butler with the 30th pick, Green with the 35th pick, and Payton with the undraft, many low-pick players from both sides played key roles on the court, which will affect the winning and losing direction of the series, which is also a special taste.
