The Lone Rangers haven't been in particularly good form lately, with a 16-18 record and eighth place in the West, and they need to keep improving if they want to make it to the playoffs. Recently, Doncic has been affected by injuries and safety agreements and has been unable to play, and Porzingis has been leading the team forward alone, which is one of the reasons why the team's recent state has been unstable!
And in the most recent game, there is one person on the team who can stand up and help the team, and that is Jaylen Bronson. In the recent matches, Bronson took on the organizational task of the team, Doncic has been absent since December 13, Bronson has become the team's starter, in these 9 games, Bronson has done the ultimate in both individual scoring and assisting teammates. According to statistics, in the few games in which Doncic is absent, Bronson can average 20.8 points and 7.3 assists per game, shooting 50.4% from the field, and shooting 36.8% from three-point range, such a horror play really proves his value!
In these games, facing the Timberwolves, he delivered 11 assists, back-to-back second game against the Timberwolves, he scored 28 points to score high points, against the Jazz can also score 27 points, it can be said that he has become the team's offensive core in these games.
To know that bronson only took a $1.8 million contract this season, after being selected in 2018, he signed a four-year, $6.11 million contract with the team, this season is his contract year, with a $1.8 million contract to play such a performance, it is indeed very cost-effective.
At the end of the season, his contract will expire, when the Lone Ranger team is bound to provide him with a very good contract, with the current salary level, the average salary of 15 million US dollars for many years is also very likely, after all, with his strength, even if the Lone Ranger does not provide a contract, there are a lot of teams will choose to sign him!
