NBA drafts are divided into different years. The 2021 rookies may not be as good as the 96 Golden Generation, nor as good as the 2003 Platinum Generation, but they can definitely be regarded as the "K Gold Generation"! As of now, among the 2021 rookies, Cningham, Mobley Jr., Barnes and Shin Kyung have been selected as All-Stars, and 9 have signed large contracts of over 100 million US dollars, namely Cningham (269 million US dollars in 5 years), Jaylen Green (105 million US dollars in 3 years), Mobley Jr. (269 million US dollars in 5 years), Barnes (224 million US dollars in 5 years), Sages (150 million US dollars in 5 years), Kiddy (100 million US dollars in 4 years), Wagner Jr. (224 million US dollars in 5 years), Murphy (112 million US dollars in 4 years) and Shin Kyung (185 million US dollars in 5 years).

The 2022 rookies are not so outstanding, nor are they so lucky. Only Ban Kairo (239 million US dollars in 5 years), Homgren (239 million US dollars in 5 years), Jabary Smith, Tanhua Jr. (122 million US dollars in 5 years) and No. 12 pick Jaylenway (239 million US dollars in 5 years) signed a large contract of over 100 million US dollars in advance. Just today, another 2022 rookie completed an early renewal. According to NBA famous reporter Shams, the player's agent revealed that Jovic and the team reached a four-year, $62.4 million early contract renewal. According to Shams, Jovic's contract is fully guaranteed and has no options. In this way, Jovic became the fifth 2022 rookie to renew his contract completely early, comparing with No. 1 pick, Kaylo, No. 1 pick, Homegren, Jabbarry Smith, and No. 12 pick, Jaylenway.

Jovic is only the No. 27 pick in 2022. In terms of talent, he is far inferior to No. 1 pick Kairo and Jabbarri Smith Jr.; in terms of achievements, he does not win the NBA championship like No. 1 pick Homgren and No. 12 pick Jaylenway. In the first three seasons of his career, Jovic played only 107 regular season games (56 starts), averaging 21.1 minutes per game, averaging 8.7 points + 3.8 rebounds + 2.2 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 37%, and free throw shooting percentage of 80.4%. Jovic's career attendance rate is only 43.5%, and he has not secured his starting position. So, why can he become the first non-lottery show in the 2022 class to complete an early contract renewal?

In my opinion, Jovic is grateful to Jokic for being able to complete the early renewal! Everything starts with the 2025 European Men's Basketball Team. Jovic played 6 games for Serbia, averaging 26.1 minutes per game, averaged 12.8 points + 4 rebounds + 2.2 assists per game, shooting percentage as high as 60%, three-point shooting percentage was 52.4%, and free throw shooting percentage was as high as 92.3%. The three shooting percentages directly entered the 200 club. From being timid in the NBA arena to being savvy in the European Cup, to making heavy blows and shine, Jovic’s start-up with Jokic is the key. Under Jokic’s restraint, Jovic does not need to bear the burden of independent offense, but uses speed and height to play the role of an external high-tech turret, maximizing the release of his offensive talent.

Jovic's European Cup campaign, Heat coach Spole specifically flew over the ocean to inspect Jovic on the spot! Obviously, Spoo also hopes to find Jovic's instruction manual. At least judging from the performance of the European Cup, Jovic is a high-ball player. He is not suitable to play the role of the pillar of the bench and does everything, and is more suitable to play the role of the high-quality turret to play. In the words of US media, Spole should change the lineup. Only by using Jokic as the starting No. 4 partner Adebayo can the Heat's offensive problems be solved. Jovic is also always ready to meet new challenges. In an interview, he said bluntly: I am happy to play the starting lineup, whether it is the No. 4 or No. 5! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
