Super foreign aid announced to stay in the NBA! no longer considered the possibility of returning to the CBA, and rejected the invitations of Zhu Fangyu and Liu Weiwei.The Xinjiang team signed Zhou Qi's teammate Creek in the Australian league Phoenix during this time, and the Beijing team also signed Booker, a small foreign player who previously played for the Shenzhen team. Do you remember Dopp Reese, the super-big foreign player who played for Qingdao last season? I heard that he has signed a long-term contract with the NBA Trail Blazers for three years. He also performed well with the Trail Blazers this season, averaging 17 minutes per game, 9 points and 4 rebounds, and shooting 39% from three-point range!
This Reese, 2.11 meters tall and 27 years old, is at the peak of his career, has comprehensive offensive means, and can also pull out and shoot three-pointers, he is simply a baby in the NBA, especially suitable for the small-ball era.
I remember that he played in the Qingdao team last season, although he was only the second foreign aid, but he averaged 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, with super high efficiency, shooting more than 50% from the field and 40% from three-point range. Last offseason, Qingdao head coach Liu Weiwei still wanted him to come back, but unfortunately he still chose to stay in the NBA and wait for opportunities. Later, Qingdao signed Moultrie and Dakari Johnson, but they were cut without much play.
Some time ago, Guangdong Hongyuan Club also laid off Marshon Brooks, and General Manager Zhu Fangyu told fans in the live broadcast that there would be a wave of layoffs in the NBA after the Spring Festival, and Reece became one of the targets, and now it seems that he has no play.
Not only Zhu Fangyu and Liu Weiwei have contacted Reese, but many CBA teams have looked for him! But now that the Trail Blazers have signed him, the hope of returning to the CBA is gone. No one is hungry for a bull foreign player like Reese, and his contract is not too high. Last season, the CBA also had a strong exception, that is, Achuer, who played in Nanjing Tongxi, whose style of play is quite similar to Reese, and now plays in the Australian NBL League.
