Recently, according to reporter John Holinger, Bucks guard Dont DiVinchenzo will be expected to get a market price of $99 million for 4 years, last season's regular season, Di Vincenzo started 66 games, averaging 27.5 minutes per game, can contribute 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 42% from the field and 37.9% from three-point range, making it the Bucks' top defensive leader.
The 24-year-old Di Vincenzo was selected by the Bucks with the 17th pick in the first round of 2018, when he only existed at the end of a bench in the Bucks, but with the unremitting efforts of the past two seasons, Di Vincenzo has grown into a famous defender in the league, not only in the offensive and defensive ends of the performance, even the organization also showed a certain talent, from the perspective of the speed of progress and follow-up potential, Di Vincenzo does have the qualification to get more than 20 million annual salary.
But then again, potential is ultimately a nihilistic thing, and for a championship-winning team like the Bucks, whether they are willing to use a limited and precious bit of salary space to match Di Vincenzo's contract next offseason is still a debatable question, you know, despite the performance in the regular season, in the final analysis, DiVinchenzo still did not prove himself in the playoffs!
So far, DiVinchenzo's career playoff average is only 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and the three shooting rates are also terriblely low, only 38.8%, 27.3%, 65% of the point, such data for a player with an "annual salary of $25 million", it can definitely be said to be a failure!
Of course, the inefficient data of the playoffs has a lot to do with the season reimbursement of Di Vincenzo only played 3 playoff games this season, but the NBA as a business league, no team manager will be kind enough to consider these issues, in most cases, this can only become a chip they use to reduce the price.
In fact, for the Bucks and Di Vincenzo, it is not appropriate to discuss the early renewal of the contract now, I personally feel that it is still necessary to see whether this year's 18th young players can be like Bridges, Ayton, the leaders of the same year, after the playoffs have completely proved themselves, and then negotiate with the team about the contract amount, so that whether it is for the Bucks or for Di Vincenzo personally, it is the most ideal result, what do you think?
