refugee! talented! Starting! Abandoned! Although his career is only 5 years, he has had unimaginable experiences and made many incomprehensible decisions, he is Emmanuel Mudiel, a young man who has been "lost" by money and is on the verge of his career.
Born in a Congolese refugee family, Mudie was determined to make money from a young age, and in 2014, when he was only 18 years old, Mudie, who refused an invitation from Southern Methodist University, directly embarked on a path to become a professional player, in Mudié's words, he could not bear to see his mother work hard every day, he hoped that he could earn money to support his family as soon as possible. In this rookie, Mudiel was exceptionally talented, the most promising backcourt player at the time, in ESPN's 100 potential stock rankings, Mudie was ranked No. 2, was the popular candidate for the show at that time, and also popular Towns and Okafor, they both chose to enter the university to receive the Coach of Fame coach.
And Mudiel, he went alone to China to pan for gold. Although his performance in the CBA was not ideal, he averaged only 18 points per game. 6.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists, but in return, he got a salary of $1.2 million and a commercial contract worth $10 million, in the eyes of many American media, Mudiay in the CBA during this time, his ability did not improve, so that in the 2015 draft, he fell from the top three all the way to the 7th place before being selected by the Nuggets, but Mudiay can still get a four-year, $14.2 million professional contract.
In his career debut, Mudiay played 17 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, but in the time since, Mudie's shortcomings have been exposed, scoring efficiency is low, poor organizational skills, addicted to singles, possession of the ball and too many mistakes, etc., after 2 years of experience, Mudie still has not taken off these labels, his shooting rate has always been less than 38%, three-point shooting rate is less than 32%, and gradually the Nuggets began to lose patience, and sent Mudiel to the New York Knicks, after changing teams, Mudiel still hasn't changed the image of the past.
Under the new coach David Fitzdale, he also did not pay attention, since the start of the new season, Mudiel has only played 3 games for the Knicks, the first game played 2 minutes, the second game played 16 minutes, 5 shots 3, got 6 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, the third game is also today against the Wizards, Mudiay came off the bench for 23 minutes, 5 shots 1, 2 of 3 three-pointers 0, 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, as of now, Mudiel averaged just 3.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 40 percent from the field and shooting 0-of-4 from three-point range.
This season is the last year of Moodier's rookie contract and a very important turning point in his future career, the past 5 years Mudier has earned more than $22 million, which has helped him solve the family's financial problems to some extent, but he is still young, his career is still a long way to go, he should not go down like this. If Mudiel had chosen to enter college, the shortcomings on his body might have been polished, but Mudiel wanted to make money too much, and then it would depend on whether he could impress Fitzdale, and what the future would look like would depend on this season.
