This three-time champion team in recent five years plans to sign a short contract with Baender for 10 days. The warrior's intention is obvious, that is, to see if Bader has potential. It is worth mentioning that the specific signing time of both parties is this week, because the Warriors will have five games this week-a ten-day short contract will make the best use of it, which is a very warrior-style signing.
Back in Bernd, as the fourth overall pick of 20 16, his career was quite bumpy. He played for the Suns for three years, but he never proved the value of his fourth overall pick. Instead, the Suns decided not to implement his player option-which is very rare for a player with such a high overall draft pick as Baender. Last summer, Bernd and Bucks signed a basic salary. However, just half a month ago, the Bucks laid him off. The Warriors will be Bernd's third team in four years.
From the data point of view, Baender's performance is really poor. His height is 2m 13, his arm span is 2m 18, and his career average is only 5.2 points and 3.7 rebounds. His best season was only 6.5 points and 4.4 rebounds, and he only got 3.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in seven games for Bucks. In any case, this is a standard parallel data.
Baender's disadvantage is quite obvious. His arms are empty, but he lacks physical talent, so the defensive end does not contribute much. Interestingly, in the draft report, his template is considered to be kukoc and mirotic, but he shows no shadow of kukoc or mirotic at all. At least at the projection end, his stability is very poor, which belongs to quasi-one year and two years.
What does a soldier see in such a Bander?
On the one hand, Baender is still very young. He was only 19 years old when he participated in the draft, and now he is only 22 years old. Young means possible. Besides, he spent the first three years of his career in the sun. The latter has many high-level talents in recent years, and as a result, they only played 13 champion Booker and champion Ayton, and their training ability was quite poor.
On the other hand, the Warriors have been focusing on the big man in space since they sent Spearman away. Although Bernd's athletic ability and explosive power are poor and his projection is unstable, he has at least a certain shooting foundation. His three-point shooting percentage in Europe reached 40%, and the Suns also had 36.6% in the second season. That season, Barnde hit a 3-pointer of 1 18, which made him more than 7 feet in history.
This will be an opportunity for Bender.
An interesting example is that Marquis Chris, Bader's former teammate in the Suns and the eighth pick in the same session, also plays for the Warriors. Before playing for the Warriors, Chris went through three teams, and none of them tapped his potential. Last season, he averaged only 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 37.2% and a real shooting percentage of 45.5%, which can basically be declared as parallel imports.
As a result, after joining the Warriors, Chris was shocked. So far, he has played 5 1 game for the Warriors, averaging 8.7 points and 5.7 rebounds 1.7 assists 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 53.3% and a real shooting percentage of 59.4%. In the past 12 games, Chris averaged 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds10.9 blocks and shot as high as 62.4%.
Compared with Chris, Bernd is still relatively young. Now, Chris has won a multi-year contract with the Warriors with his performance, and the next pressure is left to Barnde. If the Warriors can't play, Bernd may go back to Europe to play, but if the Warriors scratch another lottery ticket successfully, the game will be interesting as soon as Curry and Thompson return next season.
