Recently, the CBA is still in the off-season, but the third stage will also be officially rekindled in early March, as the league's powerhouse Zhejiang Guangsha has also successfully ushered in another big-name foreign aid Jia Hill Okafor in this window period, and throughout the past few years, there have been many big-name foreign aides, in addition to the old acquaintance Wilson Chandler who was welcomed back last season, the "half-orc" Faried who previously served as a firefighting foreign aid is also a very attended name.
The former member of the U.S. men's basketball dream team, in the 19-20 season, briefly joined Guangsha, for the team in 7 games, he averaged only 17.3 points and 10 rebounds per game of mediocre data into the account, after the expiration of the contract, Guangsha did not choose to keep him, although in the later Faried also moved to puerto Rican league and Champions League giants CSKA Moscow, but did not stay long, in order to return to the NBA, he chose to join the Nuggets Development League affiliated team Golden Team. It is reasonable to say that in the stage of the development of the league's "dimensionality reduction strike", players like Faried who have played absolute main players in NBA teams should not have much problem playing, but in these games for the team, Faried's performance is not satisfactory.
So far, Faried has played in 9 games for the Golden Team, but averaged only 11.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting only 51.3% of the decent shooting rate, and the statistics of playing a development league were even worse than in the NBA (Faried averaged 13.7 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in the Nuggets at the peak), which is indeed unacceptable for Faried, who is in the golden age of 32. As the main interior line of the Nuggets, Faried is now in such an embarrassing situation, which is really lamentable. Judging by his current performance, not to mention the NBA team, even the CBA is unlikely to throw an olive branch for it again.
In fact, when Faried joined Guangsha at that time, his heart was not willing, if it were not for the team's "heavy gold" invitation, he was afraid that he would not really come to the CBA, with the label of the American men's basketball team to the CBA Faried, in fact, did not play any bright performance, the best data is only the 26 points and 14 rebounds cut in the shanghai men's basketball team, like his short functional interior line, in fact, it is not quite in line with the CBA's requirements for foreign aid. In recent years, the CBA has been a big man like Dakari Johnson, Haddadi, and Motai, who can also pass the ball in both attack and defense, or a spatial No. 4 position with projection ability like Moortree and Salinger, and the blue-collar interior line that blindly eats cakes has become more and more popular.
So even if Faried wants to put his face down and ask to return to the arms of the CBA, the clubs are really reluctant to eat this grass. At the beginning, Faried would not have come to play in the CBA if he had not been a soft and hard bubble for Guangsha, and even if he was able to join the team successfully afterwards, Faried was also that arrogant attitude of not contributing to the work on the field, and now in the development of the league, he can't understand, Faried's next stop, I am afraid that he will be like Bennett, to accept the baptism of the Taiwan League.
