Today, journalist Marc Stein released a set of statistics summarizing the top 6 players who were cut last week, namely:
Exam, Okafor, Stanley Johnson, Jabari Parker, Markis Chris, Dunn.
Of these six, Chris, is the most regrettable existence that the old man considers.
The feeling of powerlessness that the prodigal son feels defeated by reality after turning back is really easy to provoke sympathy.
Chris is the no. 8 show in the first round of 2016, with a height of 2.06 meters and an arm span of 2.14 meters, with a very exaggerated athleticism and explosive power.
Debuting in the Suns, he was a full-fledged thorn-headed player in his early years.
Missing game training, clashing with teammates, lack of body management, cases abound.
So after just two years of playing for the Suns, Chris was traded to the Rockets by management because he was tired of his off-court behavior.
As we all know, the Rockets have always been a team that likes "Taobao".
As long as you have talent, as long as you're cheap, as long as you can contribute on the court, you can get a chance to play in Houston.
At the moment when the trade was just made, journalist Keith Smith directly said that he was optimistic about Chris's explosion in the Rockets, and he could cash in on his talent around Harden.
The result?
In the 18-19 season, Chris only played 16 games for the Rockets before being dropped off by management and sent to the Cavaliers.
In these 16 games, he can only contribute 1.8 points per game, 1.8 rebounds per game, butter on the offensive end, poor standing on the defensive end, personal performance is very unsatisfactory, and the effect on the court is not even as good as that of white interior Hatten.
The first time Chris really saved himself was in the 19-20 season.
That year, Durant ran away, Tang Shen was reimbursed for the season, and the Warriors suffered a large area of injury troubles.
Forced to have no one available, Miles chose to sign Chris's forward court with a two-way contract.
Maybe he was fed up with the days of wandering, or maybe he liked the Warriors' team environment, that year, Chris's attitude towards the game came to a super change of 180 degrees.
He stopped making trouble off the court, and began to become more active on the court, always pouring out his strength on the defensive end, while also mingling with the rest of his teammates.
In the 59 games played that season, Chris averaged 9.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 54.5% from the field, all four of which set a career high.
Prodigal Son, the image is instantly transformed into a quality role player.
Through his own efforts, Chris was able to stay with the Warriors in the 20-21 season.
I thought that after the return of Curry and other main players, he could assist the former to continue to attack the championship trophy.
Unexpectedly, in the second game of the season, Chris was reimbursed for the season due to a fibular injury, and then sold to the Spurs in the middle of the season, and finally ended up in a situation of being cut.
Although he made his comeback this year, he was again laid off in preseason games for the Trail Blazers due to inefficient individual performances.
In just 4 years, Chris has changed 6 teams, and he is currently only 24 years old.
With no range, a system, a history of injuries, and the rest of the squad almost full, he still wants to get a chance to continue playing in the regular season, which is really difficult to be honest.
NBA, it's just so cruel, even if Chris's prodigal son has turned back...
