After three short 10-day contracts, the 24-year-old Marquise Chris finally got recognition from the Lone Rangers. On a two-year contract, Chris got his formal contract and officially regained his foothold in the NBA.
It was chris deserved. In the 13 games he played for the Lone Ranger, he averaged 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds in 11.3 minutes per game, shooting a significant 60.7 percent from the field, and even the three-pointers were a threat (averaging 0.5 three-pointers per game and 42.9 percent from three-point range).
The young center, who used to play on physical fitness and was abandoned by multiple teams, now has a new place on the Lone Rangers.
Chris, who is 2.06 meters tall, is the No. 8 show in 2016, when he was not yet 19 years old when he entered the NBA. His excellent physical condition made him once considered a top three candidate. After being selected by the Suns, he also quickly got a lot of training opportunities. In his first season, he averaged 9.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Unfortunately, Chris did not grow fast enough later, coupled with a lot of fouls, the ability to improve on the offensive end was relatively slow, and eventually, Chris was sent to the Rockets by the Suns.
But the Rockets, which also had Harden and Paul at the time, were not recognized, and after 16 games and averaging only 6.5 minutes per game, Chris was traded again, this time with the Cavaliers.
On the Cavaliers, Chris wasn't trusted either. After that, he joined the Warriors and played for the Warriors for two seasons, where he was re-energized by Kerr and helped Curry. He played well at one point, averaging 9.3 points and 6.2 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game in the 2019-20 season, but unfortunately, injuries found him again, which also led to him being sent to the Spurs by the Warriors, and after being cut by the Spurs, he joined the Blazers, but was still cut.
Now, the Mesozoic center has a chance at the Lone Ranger, and with Doncic by his side, he's once again showing his worth. In the remaining days, he also has to catch up and make up for the time he has wasted and delayed in these years.
