After 15 shots, he faced a big explosion! The No. 20 show was praised for 24+4, and Kobe. Is the Heat selling Rozier for him?

On July 12, in the NBA Summer League, the Hawks defeated the Heat 105-98. This summer League in Las Vegas is quite exciting. The Hawks' No. 15 pick in 2023 formed a striking situation with the Heat's No. 20 pick in 2025. Bafkin scored 29 points and Yakujonis scored 24 points. The performance of these two young players made the fans on the scene excited.

Lithuanian young player Yakujonis is only 19 years old this year. He is a tall point guard who was picked up by Riley in the 20th pick in the first round. He is a 6-foot-6 point guard. In this game, he made 4 of 5 shots + 3 three-pointers and 3 of 3 shots and scored 14 points. In the first half, 15 minutes, 8 shots and 4 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 5 three-pointers and scored 19 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

Akujonis made 28 minutes in the whole game, made 7 of 12 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 mistakes, with a shooting percentage of 58.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 55.5%, and a real shooting percentage of 58.3%.

Some Heat fans posted his data and praised him for his performance in this game as Kobe, because he has a body size similar to Kobe, and Kobe is also a 6-foot-6-inch defender.

However, Yakujonis performed poorly in the previous three games of the Salt Lake City summer league, namely 1 of 7, 0 of 4 of 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 3 turnovers; 0 of 5, 0 of 4 of 3 points, 5 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers; 0 of 3 points, 3 points, 0 of 3 points, 0 of 3 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 3 steals and 5 turnovers. The total number of 15 in the three games was only 15 + 11. Unexpectedly, he broke out after coming to the casino.

On the evening of July 11, Forbes sports reporter Evan Steeley revealed that the Heat have been looking for teams in the trading market to accept Rozier's expiration contract, but Rozier's salary is as high as $26.6 million. No one is interested in the trading market. It is obvious that the Heat want to send Rozier away to free him to make a substitute point guard for Yakujonis. After all, this young player from the European League has 3 years of professional field + 1 year of NCAA experience.
