Ten new faces that shine at the NBA start
New uniform, new life: We present on AM850 a list of notables, both rookies and experienced, who are on fire at the start.
It seems unbelievable, but a month has already passed in the 2025-26 NBA season and it is time to point out ten new faces that are setting the pace in their new teams. Newbies and experienced mix in a list of notables who promise to make people talk in the coming months.
Who is it about? Take a pen and paper.
Here we go.
Because it is the most obvious, it goes first on the list. 25.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 51% from the field for one of the most important offensive players of all time. He is still a superstar. I’m not surprising anyone with this.
Candidate for Rookie of the Year. He’s not going to have it easy, because there are also Cooper Flagg on the Mavericks and Dylan Harper on the Spurs, but EdgecombeEdit He plays with passion, with fury, with enormous energy. An electrifying talent.
He was out of the game until days before the start of the season. NBA. But, in a team that languishes night after night, it was important again. Harvey Two-Face, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, averages 14.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.
He had the misfortune of falling into what will be, perhaps, the worst team in the NBA. Or he will compete for that fateful position. But fears he plays really very well. He averages 13.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.6 rebounds. Early warning: it may surprise you.
The draft pick 2 is an incredible player. Left-handed, creative, intense. His calf injury still hurts (how long will he be out?), but while he was there he formed, with Stephon Castle, an intense, energetic and voracious perimeter. He is only 19 years old.
The rookie of the Hornets He has figures of 17.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 40.2% in triples. He entered the NBA flying under the radar, but her silk hand captivated everyone and everyone. Follow him very closely. He is an excellent sniper.
Let’s remove for a moment his tendency to micro-scandals in the League and stay with Brooks full player. His intense defense and his revulsive attack (22 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game) make him the leader of the new Suns that have a winning record.
The start is very auspicious. The Lakers They finally have a center: he averages 16.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 65% shooting from the field. He is doing a lot and he is doing it quietly.
It is gratifying to see a player who leaves a contending team, goes to one that is rebuilding, and not only does his intensity not decrease, but he increases it. holiday He averages 16.7 points and a career-high 8.3 assists. Key for the locker room after the Chauncey Billups scandal.
A luxury escort, who is a hero of silence. He fit perfectly into the rotation and his challenge will be to fit in when Tyler Herro returns. 26.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 48.2% from the field in ten appearances. You can’t ask for much more. Just be healthy.
