Next Wiseman? The second-largest summer league is disappointing, no growth is just because of the good talent

Generally speaking, if you experience a full season in the NBA and then compete in the summer league, it should be easy to perform well, let alone the top three in the same draft. Like Rockets Shepard, although he averaged only 4.4 points per game last season, in the summer league, he scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in his first game.

But in the Wizards' first summer league game in 25 years, the second-guess Sal's performance last year was very disappointing. In the game against the Suns, he played for 30 minutes, made 5 of 10 shots, scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and made 1 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line. If you only look at the data, it may still be a good report card, but its role on the court makes people think of another second-tier pick, which is the second-tier Wiseman in 2020.

As a mobile insider with a height of 2.16 meters, Sal was able to enter the league as the second place, largely thanks to his two games with the Development League in 23 years. Sal scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 blocks in the first game, while in the second game, Sal scored 26 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 blocks, which made the crowd of igniting new stars look down.

In the second year's draft, after the Hawks took Rissache with the No. 1 pick, the Wizards won Sal at the second place without hesitation. However, since last summer league, Saar's performance has been like a roller coaster. When facing the Trail Blazers, he actually scored 0 of 15 shots and did not score a single point in the game. After all the games, Saar averaged only 5.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, shooting percentage was only 19.1% and three-point shooting percentage was 11.8%. It is not an exaggeration to be called the worst summer league second-tier pick in NBA history. In the regular season, Saar's performance also gives people some hope. He plays 67 games on behalf of the team, averages 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 39.4%, and three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%.

However, today's summer league game once again brought people back to his previous stereotypes. If the player has no talent or strength, it would not be a pity that he could not play in the league. But like Sar, he cannot play because his talent is too good, and all technical movements rely on physical talent to complete.

At first, people's positioning for Sar was the space-type No. 5 position with both projection ability and frame protection ability. At the same time, relying on his speed that is not weaker than the front line, he can also complete the defense replacement work when defending. It can be said to be the most popular type of player in the league now. But under the actual situation, Saul did not develop a stable shooting ability on the offensive end, and his weight of 102kg was also obviously disadvantageous in the inside confrontation. As for the offensive ability with the ball, he was half a pound with the Rockets' 22-year-old Tanhua Xiaojia.

So Sal does not have stable offensive firepower, and all his scoring is more about "picking up the bargain". On the defensive end, if Sal is a good enough consciousness, it is not impossible for him to enter the league's best defensive player lineup in 2 or 3 years like the Cavaliers Mobley. But on the defensive end, Sal's concentration is very poor, and people often miss it. And when changing defense, it is common to not keep a close eye on the defender. In terms of defensive attitude, it is somewhat similar to Jaylen Green, who played for the Suns in the new season.

, so Sal's current game has no style at all. But the Wizards have always used him as the core of the team building, and inefficiency becomes inevitable. After watching Sar's first game this summer, many voices said that Sar can continue to survive in the league in the future, that is, quickly get a meat-sucking stock, become a mobile "blue-collar" insider, using pick-and-roll and cuts and secondary rebounds as his main scoring methods, which is his most efficient way to use it.

If Sar continues to perform so inefficiently, he is completely likely to be like Wiseman. After receiving the salary of the rookie contract, he can only pray which team will give him a basic salary to support his family. Do you think Sar may still play in the future?
