Yang Hansen s partner was fired!

Just now, according to American reporter Ary, the Trail Blazers waived two-way contract player Sissoko. To be honest, there was no surprise when the news came out. His position was already unstable at the end of the preseason.

Looking at the data, in 4 preseason games, he averaged 4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 18 minutes per game, with 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. The shooting rate was 22.2%, and the three-point rate was even lower, 7.7%. The offense had no rhythm, there were many defensive fouls, and the organization was unstable. In summer At the time of the league, there were some bright spots in the rush, and his cooperation with Yang Hansen also had highlights. However, as soon as the intensity of the preseason increased, his advantage was gone. The preseason is originally a stage for marginal players to compete for the last chance. If they perform well, they will be included in the squad. If they perform poorly, they will be packed and left.

Moreover, there are many young people on the team roster. Sharp, Henderson, Kamara, and Reese all need to train, and there is also newcomer Klingen who will focus on training.

Two-way contracts are like that, whoever comes and goes quickly. Sissoko is used to doing things by himself when taking the ball. His vision and judgment are not at the core level. The Development League can still rely on physical advantages, but the NBA level is exposed. If the Trail Blazers want to clear their quota, he is the first to think of him.

Sissoko only transferred from the Spurs in February and arrived in Portland less than eight months ago. He has not made any memorable shots. Fans ridiculed him for being "iron and independent".

The coaching staff can see clearly that the last two games of the preseason are directly timed, and the signal has been given that they do not intend to continue investing in resources.

His height is 196cm, his wingspan is good, and he can fight well. If he really concentrates on practicing shooting and off-ball, he will definitely be able to rotate in the Development League or Europe, or come to the CBA to be the core.

The NBA threshold is too high. Being waived at the age of 21 is nothing. Many people have been waived in both directions, trained overseas, and then came back. Their physical foundation is still there. Whether they can play well depends on whether they are willing to put their heads down and grind.

This operation of the Trail Blazers is just the beginning. There are 18 players on the roster and 3 two-way contracts. They may continue to cut players later, leaving the spots for undrafted players who perform well in the training camp or trade exceptions.

The goal for the new season is just like that, to train young people and compete for high picks. Whoever can train will be kept, and whoever can't train will leave. Sissoko is not in the Trail Blazers' long-term plan.

The scene that I remember him most is when Xia Lian made his first appearance, hitting the ground and dunking with Yang Hansen. The barrage was all about the French guy being able to get along. Three months later, the plot took a turn for the worse, and it went straight to goodbye.

The NBA is like this. No one blames the Trail Blazers, and no one laughs at Sissoko. Every year, hundreds of people compete for 450 positions. There are always people who get on the bus, and some people leave. This is the business league. I hope he can hit open three-pointers in the next stop and keep the number of fouls down. Maybe we can see this jumping 21-year-old forward in the NBA again in the future.
