The performance was not good last season! The former Lakers former player who is in average market will switch to the Montenegro Powerhouse in the new season?

According to European basketball media Sportando reporter Alessandro Maggi, Montenegro team Budućnost Podgorica, who performed well in the Adriatic League last season, is close to signing former NBA backcourt player Skylar Mays.

Mes was born in September 1997 and is 27 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 93kg. He is a backcourt player from Louisiana State University selected the 50th pick in the second round in the 2020 NBA Draft. In the NBA, Mes spent two seasons with the Hawks, but he did not get any chance to perform. Since then, he has played for the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers, but his performance is also relatively average. Mess played 105 games in the NBA regular season, averaging 105 games, averaging 10.6 minutes per game, averaging 4.3 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 0.6 fouls. He shot 44.5%, three-point shooting percentage 34.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 85.9%.

Because there was no way to get a contract in the NBA, Metz had to choose to switch to the European arena last summer. Metz joined the Turkish League powerhouse Fenerbahce Beko last season. He made a total of 24 appearances in the European court, averaging 13.4 minutes per game, averaging 5.2 points, 2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 0.7 fouls. He shot 42.2%, three-point shooting percentage 26.8%, and free throw shooting percentage 77.3%. Mess' performance was not ideal, which was quite different from everyone's expectations. He also left the team in January this year and returned to the NBA Development League. He played 19 times in the NBA Development League, the Iowa Wolves' subordinate team, and averaged 29.4 minutes per game, with averaging 12.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 42.1% from the field, 39% from three-point shooting percentage and 80.8% from free throws.

Mess' performance last season was very disappointing. His performance was not satisfactory, and he did not maintain his outstanding state in the NBA Development League. Budućnost Podgorica was the top team in the regular season and the final runner-up team in the Adriatic League last season. They performed quite well last season. I don’t know if the team can go further next season with the arrival of Metz, and have better performances in the Adriatic League and in Eurocup.
