Sign it! 146 million in 5 years! Congratulations to the Spurs!
Another 100 million yuan contract was born~
Spurs rising star Isser reached an early contract extension with the team worth $146 million over five years, excluding any options, and guaranteed $135 million (to incentivize, the contract includes $11 million in bonuses).
Vassell, who has just completed his three-year journey as a rookie, is 1.98 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.08 meters, is only 23 years old this year, is a standard post-00, he is the forward swingman selected by the Spurs with the 11th pick in 2020, template - Paul George!
Vassell played in 38 regular-season games for the Spurs last season, averaging 18.5 points, 3.9 boards, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 31 minutes per game, shooting 38.7 percent from three-point range.
Coupled with these numbers, it's clear that Vassell is capable of being one of the nucleus of reviving San Antonio.
Vassell is the kind of low-key and practical forward player, the offensive end is mostly quick shots after blocking and converting fast attack scores, and it is also the simplest and most direct way to score, and is currently further developing the ability to hard solve the ball;
And the defensive end will also cause trouble to the opponent, and can contribute a variety of ghost hand steals and sky covering hats, like the more athletic Tie Lin.
Originally, Vassell was only the younger brother of the Spurs, and at that time, the team's guard line did not say anything else, just Xiaobai and a late peak Mills had to share more than half of their time, not to mention a big brother Azan who needed to carry the ball.
Fortunately, after the 20-21 season, the Spurs began to gradually trade core members to start rebuilding, and even traded the same position in order to give Vassell better room to play.
It was like lifting Vassell's seal, and his numbers skyrocketed.
Vassell scored a career-high 29 points against the Kings last November, but in January Vassell underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee due to injury problems, and it is not clear whether he will be able to manage the injury after that, which will also require him and his team to keep a close eye on it.
In any case, Vassell is an integral part of Spurs' future, as Popovich said: "Vembanyama needs to be developed, but Vassell can take off. ”
At present, it seems that the Spurs' potential starting five tigers are as follows: Trae Jones + Vassell + Keldon + Sohan + Venbanyama;
This set of starters does not mention potential, it still feels thin and thin, and the advantage is fast enough and young enough. I wonder if the new season will bring us surprises, such as brave the playoffs?
