The season that belonged to Pawe ended early.
Official news from the Bulls, due to a foot injury problem,Team striker Patrick Williams will undergo surgery and miss all games for the remainder of the season.
The Bulls officially wrote: Pavey has been forced to take a break since January 25 (local time) due to bone edema in his left foot, and recently underwent a follow-up routine imaging test that showed that he had problems with his footwork stress responsePawe will undergo surgery and will not be able to play for the rest of the season. In follow-up news, Bulls reporter KC Johnson reported that Pavey's surgery will be performed on March 6 (local time) in New YorkHe expects to return to training in July
At this point in time, the season reimbursement is obviously not good news. For bulls,Pawe was the team's main rotation, averaging 27 per game before the injuryAt 3 minutes, the Bulls currently have a 27-30 record and are only ninth in the EastAfter entering the All-Star, it should be a critical moment for them to hit the playoffs, originally they were without LaVine, and now without Pawe, the depth and competitiveness of the roster are further reduced.
As for Pawe himself, last offseason, he didn't negotiate an early contract extension with the Bulls, so this season is in a contract year, and no one wants to be reimbursed for injuries in a contract year, and Paway is certainly the same, especially considering that he has played healthy this season, and his performance is actually not very good. 
Prior to his injury, Pawe played a total of 43 games for the Bulls, 30 of which were starts, and only won per game10.0 points 39 rebounds 15 assists 08 steals 09 caps, 443%/39.9%/78.8%, true hit rate 553%。For comparison, last season's Pawe: played in 82 games, started 65 games, and averaged 28 games per game3 minutes, hand over10.2 points 40 rebounds 12 assists 09 caps 09 steals, 46 three-point shooting4%/41.5%/85.7%, true hit rate 576%。
Unlike his teammate Kobe White, who suddenly broke out this season, Pawe's role has not changed much compared to last seasonThe data has not improved, and the efficiency has even decreased, and even last season, he was just a rotation of playoff fringe teams who couldn't even sit on the brink of the playoffs, and the level can be imagined. And if you remember, just last offseason, there was news that Pawe wanted a $200 million contract, according to Zach Lowe at the time"I've heard that Pawe wants a contract with an amount starting with 2, note that I don't mean 20 million. ”
200 million contracts?It can only be said that Pawe is thinking too much, considering that his performance has regressed this season, and he is also injured and reimbursed, this offseasonHe may not even get a contract with an annual salary of 20 million。Pawe is the No. 4 pick in the first round of the class of 2020, he is 2.01 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.11 meters, has excellent physical fitness, explosiveness, speed, is a typical athletic forward, and he has good shooting and aggressiveness on the defensive endAt the time, he was considered the highest-capping player in the class, and the draft template for the best draft was Leonard. 
Looking at the present, it is clear that Pawe and Leonard are very far apartHis offensive skills are immature, and his finishing ability under the basket is mediocreHe shot 59-of-111 from the field within 5 feet of the basket this season while shooting 532%, which can even be described as poor;But Pavey's shot does workSo far in his career, he has averaged 1. per game on 41% shooting1 three-pointerAlthough the output is not high, the grasp is good, and it can provide a certain ability to open the space;Defensively, Pawe is talented, but only at a level of talent, statistically speaking, his individual defense ability is a little above average: this season, Pavey has played against players, and his two-point shooting percentage has increased from 558% dropped to 556%, three-point shooting percentage from 365% to 366%。
The advantage of Pawe is thatHe's only 22 years old, he's already a 3-and-D striker, and there's still room for growth in the futureThe disadvantage is that he clearly has excellent talent, but he doesn't like to fight, and instead likes to finish in the middle range (probably influenced by DeRozan?).), not reaching their full potential;Of course, it may also have something to do with the Bulls' use of him, this team has DeRozan, LaVine, Vucevic in the past few years, and now that Koby White has also grown, there is really not much room for him to play. 
Objectively speaking, as a No. 4 pick, Pavey's growth did not meet expectations, he was amazing in his rookie season, but unfortunately he suffered a major injury in the sophomore season, and he has not improved since his comebackIt may be related to the environment, but it is also a lack of its own strengthNow, let alone Leonard, he doesn't even have another template OG Anunoby at the level of the same period. 
Let's take a look at the other rookies in the same class, in front of himEdwards, three-ballhas already received the maximum salary renewal, behind himHaliburton, Maxeyis already an All-Star, even his college teammate, the 11th pick in the same classVassellBoth have signed with Spurs for 5 years4.6 billion. As for Pa Wei's contract renewal, 200 million must be a dream, but considering that he is still young and has shown a certain amount of 3D potential, it is likely to be a contract with an annual salary of about 20 million.
Just, is it really a good idea to stay with the Bulls?Judging from the past few years, the Bulls are terrible at developing people, Markkanen has not been cultivated before, and Koby White also played after LaVine was injured.
