Before signing with the Milwaukee Bucks in March, wing Jaylin Galloway from Australia signed a three-year contract with his former club Sydney Kings. Now that he's been cut by the Bucks, will he have a chance to return to the Sydney Kings and continue to play in the NBL next season?
According to ESPN's Australian correspondent Olgun Uluc, Galloway's old club, the King of Sydney, has actually kept a spot for him, and they are ready to welcome Galloway's return. However, judging from the current situation, Galloway may still want to stay in the NBA, and he will continue to look for opportunities and possibilities. Of course, if his goal is not achieved in the end, and he wants to return to the NBL to continue playing, the Sydney Kings are more than welcome to return to play. The reason why the Sydney Kings have always reserved a remaining spot for Galloway is also to hope that Galloway can return to the NBL and continue to play for the team, once Galloway chooses to return, the three-year contract he signed with the team can be restarted at any time.
Galloway was born in December 2002, is 21 years old, 198cm tall, weighs 86kg, and was the undrafted pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. After joining the Bucks in March, Galloway didn't get the chance to play in the NBA regular season. Galloway played a total of 7 games for the Wisconsin Bucks, an affiliate of the Bucks, in the NBA Development League, averaging 20.4 minutes per game, averaging 4.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.3 steals, 1.3 blocks, 1.1 turnovers and 1 foul, shooting 40.6% from the field, 14.3% from three-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line.
Galloway also played for the Bucks in the NBA Summer League, where he played a total of 5 games for the team, averaging just 9.9 minutes per game, averaging only 2.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.2 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 1 foul, shooting 41.7% from the field, 28.6% from three-point range, and 0% from the free throw line. In fact, Galloway's performance in the Summer League and NBA Development League is not particularly ideal, his contribution on the offensive end is very limited, and his influence on the defensive end is far less than everyone thinks. Galloway is an all-around wing player in the NBL, and he can help the team on both ends of the floor, but it is clear that he can't unleash his potential in the NBA. I don't know if there will be any team that will send Galloway a contract next.
