Will Downs be the No. 1 center?

Downs I don't feel like I'm going to be the first center, there are many good players in this position, such as Embiid, Cousins, and Bushy Eyebrows, and although Downs is also working hard, but at the same time, we also see the efforts of these people, if Downs wants to become the first center, he still needs to work hard.

Downs has the physicality and potential to become the league's No. 1 center, and he has been trying to show his talent in recent seasons, and there are still many things to improve if he wants to become the league's No. 1 center, such as his ability to handle key balls and his lack of leadership qualities.

will not become the first center, because Downs lacks the desire to win, and lacks leadership skills, and he is also very bad on the defensive end, although Downs has good statistics, but he can't help the team at critical moments, which determines Downs's ceiling, resulting in not being able to become the first center.

I think at the moment, he is still a little far from the first center, Downs has good skills and good physical fitness, but I always feel that the style of play is a bit soft, not tough enough, and there is still a little less maturity on the court. I'm more bullish on Embiid, and if he can stay healthy, I think he has more potential than Towns.

It's too early to tell whether Downs can be a center at the all-time, Hall of Fame level. But in his class, he's on his way to becoming the No. 1 center.

Downs's contemporaneous interior line can only match Noel, Embiid, and Gobert. Embiid's endurance attributes are poor, and he has been injured in a row, even if he has a natural chosen talent, but he can't fulfill it, it's in vain. Noel is stronger in defense than in offense, and tends to be a super blue-collar direction, and on the other hand, he is only 2.11 meters tall and slightly lacking in playing inside, which is the same as Downs.

Gobert has improved rapidly this year, and his defensive ability has reached the top of the league, but in the traditional small-ball era, his lack of movement has been exposed, and his offensive skills are relatively simple, and his shooting is not consistent enough.

It is impossible to ............ have been in the league for so many yearsHasn't developed leadership temperament Normally, which No. 1 center doesn't start with a dominant O'Neal Howard is a ...... who can play dominant in his rookie seasonNow the only one who is optimistic about the teacher Embiid is not ......Maybe he has that kind of dominance, but injuries have been holding him back, and besides, as the talent of young people is getting better and better, it is destined that there will be some highly talented newcomers every year to challenge him, and if you look at Mr. Yoo's first season, Embiid is much worse.

Towns' physicality and offensive talent have made him one of the most dominant centers in the NBA, and he's now the leader of the Timberwolves. But there's still a long way to go to become the No. 1 center in the NBA, and that doesn't require a comeback effort on the court and a need to help everyone grow in the locker room.

Downs has the potential of the first center, but he lacks the leadership temperament, and the play is not tough enough, the defense is weak, and there is still a lot of gap compared with today's teacher Yue, if you want to prove the status of the first center, not only look at the bright data, the most important thing is to look at the ability to lead the team, which is much stronger than him.

Downs, who had the lowest championship hopes, won the three-point championship, and the score was high, Downs also had a lot of three-point shots in the game, and there was nothing wrong with being a star player, but I don't think he was the top center in the league.

At the moment, the league's top center, or the first layer of the top of the pyramid, I think there are only two people, Jokic in the West and Embiid in the East. No third person comes close to their dominance. There are three reasons for this.

1.As a center forward, he has a super back-to-body one-on-one ability. As a top star, the last thing to look at is one-on-one absolute ability, which is an unreasonable ability.

Today's centers like to shoot, which is a trend, but if you want to become a top center, the ability to back is the weather vane, and whether you have this ability determines whether you can become a top center in the middle and become the top center. Jokic's back relies on extremely excellent small technical ability, invincible feel, and basic body and weight advantage; Embiid relies on his talented footwork skills, and his physical fitness, which also has to match his body and weight advantage. There are many excellent centers in the league, Towns is one, Gobert, Adebayo, and Vucevic are all counted, but only Jokic and Embiid are really at the dominant level, and a large part of the gap is in the ability to carry the back.

2.Well-rounded on the offensive end. Defending is about effort, and offense is about talent.

There is truth to this statement, a top center needs to have a well-rounded attacking approach. Unless you have Yao Ming's height and technique, O'Neal's body and technique. Embiid and Jokic will also shoot three-pointers, and really in the game, their shooting percentage is also very good, and the back ability is mentioned above.

Not to mention the rest, except for the two of them, no other center has reached this level in terms of the comprehensive ability of shooting and back-to-body combination. Gobert and Bam Adebayo didn't have three points, Downs was far from each other with his back-to-back ability, and Vucevic could have done both, but neither of them reached the top level.

3.There is an unsolved ultimate. It's not just the center, every superstar needs to have at least one stunt that no one else can do.

Jokic's playmaking skills are his big move, a center can handle the ball too well, and his natural size advantage will allow him to see every corner of the court and quickly deliver the ball to the most suitable teammates. Embiid's stunt is to eat one-on-one, he must be pinched to defend himself, otherwise there is no way, at the 2020 Chicago All-Star Game, the last people left on the court are superstars, everyone is tired in the end, only Embiid can score the ball in one-on-one, everyone is making the ball for him, which is enough to see how powerful his big move is.

The small-ball era and the three-point shooting of the center are all trends now, but one of the top centers is still the players with traditional center skills. The back footsteps of the center on the basketball court are one of the most beautiful sights.

Downs can't hold the center, why is Downs so soft? His girlfriend is stronger than him, and "whoever wins the center wins the world", which is a glorious era in NBA history. But with the change of players and the continuous development of ball skills, the NBA arena began to popular the small ball era.

The former big center has a lower and lower advantage on the field. However, some fans believe that the center on the field today is not as good as the center in the past. For example, Timberwolves center Towns always can't hold the center position.

So why is Downs so soft? His girlfriend is stronger than him.

Compared with other strong center players, Downs' weakness is that he lacks core strength and does not have enough bounce and explosiveness. When he meets the center of the opponent on the field, he always seems to be more than enough. Although Downs is very tall, it is obvious that he is not as good as the opponent's center forward when it comes to fighting for the ball.

As a result, many fans believe that Downs' approach to play lacks a certain wolf nature. He behaves too much in the "rules" on the field, and it is easy for the opponent to take the lead.

In this regard, many fans have given Downs a lot of ideas to improve his strength. One of them is to increase the weight of Downs. Downs is centimeters tall, but weighs only kilograms.

Compared to other players, Downs is not very strong. Some fans even ridiculed Downs and said: Downs's girlfriend's figure is stronger than him!

It turned out that Downs had announced his intimacy with his girlfriend**. It can be seen from the ** that Downs's girlfriend's thighs are thicker than Downs' thighs. It seems that Downs does need to work on weight gain.

However, many players are cautious about gaining weight. Because weight gain not only brings physical improvement, but also brings hidden dangers to the knee part of the body.

Downs is only twenty-six years old now, and he is neither high nor low in the league, but he still has a lot of potential. As long as he can identify his shortcomings, he will definitely be able to become a good center player in the league.

Poor strength in the lower limbs. For a top-tier center to play singles on the inside, the strength of the lower body is very important. Downs was very unstable in his lower game, and he sometimes couldn't even carry the body of a defender, which was a reflection of his weak lower body strength.

Because his lower limbs are too weak. Downs' offense is the best in history, but his defense is weak.

Since Downs entered the NBA, although he has outstanding talent, he has been criticized for not being active, and Butler has criticized Towns and Wiggins for being aggressive, so Downs' soft play is still a matter of positivity.

Compared with the two, I still think that the Great has more hope of becoming the first center, he is more strong-willed, as long as he keeps his body healthy, he can definitely crush Downs.

I think the Great will be the No. 1 center in the NBA, and the Great will have more solid skills under the basket, more consistent shooting, and more scoring opportunities for his teammates, so he will perform better than Towns.

Downs will be the No. 1 center. Downs is stronger than the Emperor in terms of both offensive ability and basketball talent.

I think it's the Emperor, both of them are very skillful, but I think the Emperor is relatively more stable. Yes, I think the Great is the first center.

I think it's Embiid, Towns is really strong on the offensive end, but he is not strong enough on the defensive end, and his fighting spirit is not very strong, and Embiid is considered an offensive and defensive one, and over time, he will definitely grow into the NBA's No. 1 center.

In NBA history, neither the Great nor Towns is the No. 1 center, this era belongs to a fat man named Jokic, who is the No. 1 center in my mind. The record of Embiid and Towns speaks for itself, the 76ers and the Timberwolves have already been out of the 2020 season, and their performances have been disappointing, and they have played a good hand poorly, and the two still have a lot of room for improvement in basketball. With Embiid and Towns battling for the No. 1 center position, Jokic has quietly sat on the throne.

Jokic's statistics of points, rebounds and assists in the regular season are definitely superstar-like performances. In the 2014 NBA Draft, he was selected by the Denver Nuggets, he was a very low draft pick, and he seemed to have no presence among many draft players, and he only took two seasons to become the starting center of the Nuggets team, which can be called a historic counterattack. Jokic's own style of play is perfect for the small-ball era, and he may not have the physical strength to do so, but he has a high basketball IQ, and he is playing with his brain.

He belongs to the traditional European big man group. European players have a common characteristic, they have a strong sense of teamwork, and may not be able to rank among the top few in the league in their individual abilities, but they can become the engine of the team, pushing the team forward, Jokic has elusive passing skills, he belongs to a kind of interior responsive center, almost every Nuggets team's offensive ball has to pass through Jokic's transmission, which means that he has done the work of the playmaker, and he does a better job than the playmaker.

Jokic has led the Nuggets to the playoffs multiple times. He became the leader of the team, Jokic, Murray, Harris and other players are also the cornerstone of the Nuggets, this team is generally young, looks very dynamic, under the leadership of Jokic is on its own road to winning the championship, the future belongs to Jokic, the first center deserves it.

Embiid or Downs: Who is the future No. 1 center? Yang Yi: You can never be a real leader by brushing data

In recent years, the NBA has produced a large number of excellent interior players, especially players such as Towns, Embiid, Porzingis and Jokic, who have shown strong interior dominance. And many believe that Towns and Embiid are the two most likely to be the No. 1 interior players in the future. So which of the two is stronger?

In the author's opinion, Towns is a player who has shown talent and strength, and he is better than Embiid in that he has no injuries. And Embiid has always given the impression that there is still a large part of his talent that has not been realized. So it's really hard to say who is good and who is bad when comparing the future.

In fact, the two have similar attainments on the offensive end, they both have strong interior offensive skills, and there are many ways to attack. But if it is really more defensive, it is still Embiid's defense that is more powerful, first of all, his height and arm span advantage is more obvious, and secondly, the awareness of filling the position is better.

Yang Yi, a famous basketball commentator, said when talking about this problem that in fact, Towns is more like a data brush, and you can also see how bad the Timberwolves' record has been in recent times. And Embiid showed dominance, even the strength to dominate the interior in the future. Embiid is more of a leader than Downs.

The main thing is that his ability to lead the team is worrying, and it has been seen in the Timberwolves over the years that he has a good ability to cut points and protect rebounds, but he is not a good leader.
