Pelicans officially announced the contract renewal of spring man Larry Nance Jr. .
Pelicans officially reached a two-year, $21.6 million early contract renewal with Larry Nance Jr. After the early renewal of the contract is reached, the contract of Nans will become US$31.3 million for three years and expire in 2025.
Xiao Nansi can play in the 3rd position or the 4th position, and even in the small ball lineup, he can play in the 5th position. Nans Jr. is a player with balanced offense and defense. Compared with some pie-type centers in the league, he can pull out and shoot. And he has excellent defense and excellent rebounding. In the 2021-22 season, Larry Nans Jr. averaged 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. The Pelicans' signing is very valuable, plus the previous renewal of McCollum , the Pelicans' main lineup is very stable in the next three years.
With the return of Fat Tiger Zion Williams, the Pelicans may become the dark horse in the West in the new season, and their game is worth looking forward to!
Grizzlies officially announced the renewal of rebounding maniac Aquaman Adams .
Grizzlies also announced a two-year, $25.2 million early contract renewal with Steven Adams . After the renewal was completed, Adams' contract was $43.1 million for three years.
Aquaman has excellent rebounding ability and pick-and-roll positioning ability. Especially his offensive rebounds, he grabbed 334 frontcourt rebounds last season after joining the Grizzlies, breaking the team history record previously held by Randolph, the Black Bears. It is worth mentioning that Adams maintained the team's offensive rebounding team history record in Thunder and Grizzlies. Even in less than a year of playing for the Pelicans, his rebounding ranks among the top few in the team's history, when there are 20+ statistics in a single game. In the 2021-22 playoffs, Adams averaged 3.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
Nash praises Simmons . As long as he plays, he will be All-Star .
Steve Nash talked about the training performance of Ben-Simmons in an interview. Regarding his shooting and free throws, Nash said: "We hope he can go to the free throw line and play aggressively. Don't be discouraged even if the shooting percentage is not good. We will continue to encourage him to move forward. As long as he can appear on the field, he is the most special one. Whether he scores 2 points or 20 points, he is a very important role. He is an All-Star player."
Simmons has excellent physical fitness, and his strength, speed, and bounce are all top-level standards. As a tall defender, he has excellent passing skills and strong rushing skills in the frame. The most important thing is his defense and stealing ability, and Simmons can play every position on the court. But his poor shooting and free throwing ability is another extreme. Simmons set a record of the worst free throw percentage in the playoffs, and his shooting ability is even worse than many insiders. Simmons has not played for 468 days. He has refused to play for the reason of his mental illness. Such a player has never appeared in history. It seems that Nash has put a lot of effort into allowing Simmons to play!
