What a poor man, there must be something hateful.
Basketball may have been a dream for NBA players at first, but now, it's more like a job.
However, no matter what, you should show a sense of awe and professionalism, however, there are always some people who are slaves to the contract as they walk, and as long as the high salary is in hand, they will immediately lie flat, and they will not care about personal performance and team results, the most famous of which is Parsons Chandler, who has only played 85 games for the Grizzlies in 3 years, but has taken away nearly $70 million in salary.
Now, Norris Noel from the Knicks will also join the ranks, and if he does not change his attitude in time, noel will definitely be on the blacklist of 30 teams in 2 years.
Speaking of Noel, many people have expressed sympathy and regret for his suffering, as a talented player produced by the University of Kentucky, he was once the favorite of the 13th year, only because of a knee injury to fall to the 6th pick, but even so, Noel is still in the NBA to break out of the world, the peak, the value can reach 70 million US dollars, but unfortunately, the wrong operation of the team behind him, not only made Noel lose a lot, but also let his career plummet, it took 3 years to catch up with himself who had been pinned high hopes.
In the past 3 years, Noel has suffered a lot, although the performance is good, but all he gets is the basic salary offer, one is the attendance rate is average, resulting in little data reference value, and the other is that Noel is worried about repeating the same mistakes, as long as he receives the offer, no matter which team, he will agree at the first time.
Until last summer, the Knicks appeared, although the playoffs stopped in the first round, but for the regular season East 4th record, New Yorkers are still very satisfied, the rich James Dolan, also began to discuss merit, several main rotations have received generous contracts, such as Randle's 4 years 117 million, Burks' 3 years 30 million, Rose's 4 years 43 million, Gibson's 2 years 10 million, and Noel's 3 years 32 million.
This is the biggest contract Signed by Noel since missing 70 million high salaries in 17 years, and it is still a 3-year long contract, to be honest, I was also very pleased for Noel at the time, to know that his performance in the past few years is not bad, but the salary has never exceeded 3 million, is the league's low-paid and high-energy representative, but who would have thought ah, he is actually the same as Parsons, no professionalism.
Look at this season, just six months after the high salary arrived, Noel began to paddle, averaging only 3.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks, shooting 53% and shooting 70% from the free throws, including new career lows in scoring, rebounds, blocks, and 2 shooting rates, all of which have declined to varying degrees compared to last season.
Offensively, Noel is really not much of a threat, but in the past few seasons, he can still rush, and the desire to attack the basket is very strong, but now, there is no basket in his eyes;
Defensively, this is the only place where Noel can show value, don't look at the data is OK, but compared to the past few seasons, the gap is not a star and a half.
In the 18-19 season, the steal rate was 2.9% and the block was 7.7%;
In the 19-20 season, the steal rate was 2.5% and the blocking rate was 6.9%;
In the 20-21 season, the steal rate was 2.3% and the block rate was 8.7%;
In the 21-22 season, the steal rate was 2.7% and the block rate was 5.4%;
In addition to this, there are true defensive plus-minus, BPM values, and irreplaceable values, all of which are new lows in 18 years.
Let's look at limiting your opponent's shooting percentage:
In the 18-19 season, the opponent's shooting rate will drop by 3.8% under Noel's defense; in the 19-20 season, it will drop by 1.6%; in the 20-21 season, it will drop by 2.5%; but this season, the opponent's shooting rate will increase by 0.9% under Noel's defense.
Finally, look at the role in the team:
In the 18-19 season, when he was on the floor, the Thunder gave up 3.0 points per 100 rounds on the defensive end and 17.3 points less in the playoffs;
In the 19-20 season, when he was on the floor, the Thunder gave up 1.0 points per 100 rounds on the defensive end and 10.7 points less in the playoffs;
This season, when he was on the floor, the Knicks defensive end would lose 0.9 more points per 100 rounds, losing 4.4 points against the opponent on the floor, and vice versa, losing 0.6 points;
In the past, Noel was able to use first-class defense to make up for the shortcomings of the offensive end, which is why he can get tens of millions of annual salaries, but now, Noel's presence is completely "negative".
I hope That Noel will show some attitude and don't learn from Parsons, otherwise, the contract will expire, it may be the time when you retire.
