There's news that free agent Darren Collison will be trying out for the Warriors this week.
When he heard the name, Di Ge made a ripple in his heart, which was a good point guard at the former NBA rotation level.
In June 2019, Collison announced his retirement.
It is worth mentioning that the reason for his retirement is not injury or poor competitive status.
The 31-year-old announced his retirement, and when he heard the news, his friends around him were stunned.
For the reason, Collison gave his own answer at the time: "Although I love basketball, family and faith are everything to me." ”
"I am a believer in Jehovah, faith is everything to me, and I have gained unattainable pleasure in helping others."
To put it bluntly, it is for the sake of faith, and suddenly I don't want to play.
In the 2009 draft, Darren Collison was selected by the Hornets with the 21st pick in the first round, and the defender from UCLA officially entered the NBA.
When it comes to UCLA, you can't help but think of a lot of good defenders, like Westbrook and Holliday.
Coincidentally, the two brothers have been teammates with Collison in college, of which Collison was the best candidate for the starter at the beginning, and the sophomore was a knee injury, and Wei Shao suddenly emerged, and then was arranged to play a point guard.
Later, Wei Shao participated in the 2008 draft, and UCLA was promoted to newcomer Holliday in the absence of people.
In the 2018-19 season, Collison averaged 11.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6 assists per game, shooting 46.7% from the field and 40.7% from three-point range.
This seems to be a very up-to-standard NBA-level point guard, but unfortunately he chose to retire early because of his faith.
At the time, Collison had a very good chance of signing a $10-12 million contract in the offseason, and the Lakers were very interested in him.
Now that the Warriors have given him a trial, can The 34-year-old Collison take the chance?
