4 Standouts In Need Of “Bounce-Back” 2021-22 NBA Season

NBA Analysis Network

The 2020-21 season offered many “highs” for players around the league as we saw five first-time All-Stars and two players make their first appearance on the All-NBA list, but last season also offered many “lows” for some players around the league. 

As a result, we saw some teams underachieve what they could have been and now, there are a handful of players league-wide that face a “make or break” type of season. 

Some of the guys on this list are under contract for the foreseeable future, so moving them could wind up being hard to do, but for others, the chances of their team being a real playoff threat hinders on their ability to play at a high-level on the court.

Last season is behind these guys, but with the 2021-22 season coming up, they have a chance to redeem themselves and prove they can still be difference-makers in the NBA.
