WhileReddyThe injury situation is a blow to his development with the Lakers and his future contract. Originally, he expected to be able to get a long-term contract through his performance with the Lakers, but after such frequent injuries, I am afraid that his wish will be disappointed.
ReddyShi's defensive performance was very interesting on the field. He can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, and he is very flexible. However, his offensive performance was relatively lacking. This season, he is averaging just 67 points, the second lowest of his career. At the same time, his true hit percentage is only 519%。For defensive players, the contribution on the offensive end is not the focus, butReddyThe offensive performance was really unsatisfactory. This also leads to:ReddyEven in future contracts, you may only be able to accept short-term contracts or even base salaries.

Summer 2018,ReddyShih and ZionBarrettJoin togetherDuke University, becoming the first team to bloom in the same class. Such a combination fills people with endless reverie about their future. However,ReddyShi's role at Duke isn't very significant, and he has relatively little ball-possession. In his freshman season, he averaged only 135 points, far below what people expect from him. The Duke team also didn't win the championship, which made itReddyThe order of the has been slipping all the way.

Fans even jokingly called him the "Ice Shooter". Eventually, oldThe EaglesChoose to forgo further cultivationReddyWhat, trade him toNixTeam. However, inNixAfter a short stay in the teamReddyHe was traded to the Trail Blazers. For a player, the turning point of chance and destiny is very important. ReddyShi had high expectations, but after entering the NBA, he failed to live up to his original expectations.
Looking back, the formation of the Duke Heavenly Group can be said to be a big gamble. ReddyShi, Zion andBarrettAs the top players of the same class, join togetherDuke University。Their combination is unprecedented, and it has sparked a lot of anticipation and speculation. However, it turns out that in a team, there will always be people who need to sacrifice the ball and personal interests. InReddyIn this case, he played a supporting role when Duke played and had relatively few balls. It also led to his slip in the pick, and he was eventually drafted by the Atlanta Hawks with the 10th pick. AlthoughReddyHe didn't live up to expectations in the end, but he's still a player to watch and look forward to.
ReddyShi's career has been full of twists and turns. From being the third high school student in the United States to now suffering frequent injuries, he has experienced many setbacks and difficulties.
