41 million US dollars in 4 years! Thanks to the Spurs for giving the opportunity, will he become a reliable substitute for Wenban Yama?

Season 24-25, in addition to assists, Ban Yama's other data, including scores and rebounds, have improved compared with the rookie season. In particular, the average three-point shooting average soared from 1.8 to 3.1. In the advanced data, 3.6's offensive real plus-negative leagues are ranked 22nd in the league, and 2.9's defense real plus-negative leagues are ranked 3rd in the league. Although Wenban Yama, who is only 21 years old, has shown the potential of "integrated offense and defense". In fact, if it weren't for the season's reimbursement due to deep vein thrombosis in the right shoulder, the 23-year No. 1 pick could have further improved in terms of data.

Whether Wenban Yama completely gets rid of injuries in the new season, it will be "saving" from the Spurs' perspective.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Luke Connet. Previously, according to the NBA China official website, the Spurs signed Luke Connet for 41 million US dollars in four years. In my opinion, the latter will become a reliable substitute for Vinban Yama.

Offensive end

Konnet has made a total of 1,376 shots so far in NBA career, of which 46% come from the basket, 14.6% near the basket, and 33.5% outside the three-point line, corresponding to shooting percentages of 75.2%, 43.8% and 32.1%. The typical "magic ball" style of play and hit rate are still good.

As a man with a height of 2.18 meters, from his career, his shooting rate of 43.8% is not like most "rough guys" in the same position, but has certain tips for throwing and hooking. The offensive ending efficiency is relatively good, which is one of them.

Defensive end

Like most centers, Connett's main defensive responsibility on the defensive end is also to protect the basket - accounting for 63.5% of the defensive rounds and defending his opponents to shoot less than 6 feet. In terms of efficiency, the opponent's shooting rate in this area is limited from 63.2% to 56.9%. It can be seen that although the figure is a bit thin, the height of 2.18 meters makes up for this very well.

In fact, the real plus-minus value of Cornett's defense has reached 1.1 in his career, and the Celtics have reached 1.6 in five years. In other words, Cornet's defense is still trustworthy. Relatively good defense, this is the second one.

Attendance rate

The values ​​in the past three quarters are 84%, 77% and 89%, respectively. For a center, especially a tall center with a height of nearly 2.220 meters, the average attendance rate of 83% is already very high. Although this does not mean that the attendance rate in the new season will also be very high, the attendance rate in the new season will basically not decline in a sharp way with no major injury history. Attendance rate is guaranteed, which is the third.

To sum up, we can understand Cornet at this stage as:

1. The offensive end is relatively good;

2. Relatively good defense;

3. The attendance rate is guaranteed.

Based on this, we can understand that being able to become a reliable substitute for Wenban Yama is:

First of all, it is necessary to be clear that unless there is an injury, Wenban Yama will have to take about 32+ per game. Basically, the average playing time for Connett is about 15-20 minutes.

As I said just now, the efficiency of both offense and defense is guaranteed to ensure that Cornet has an advantage when facing both substitutes. In other words, when Wenban Yama comes off the court, the Spurs' inside power will not decline sharply.

More importantly, the attendance rate is guaranteed to be able to maintain good condition on the next day, and more importantly, it will not allow the coach to "take blind" in the arrangement of troops.

Finally, the average game of 15 minutes per game is relatively high-level. Connett's contract for $41 million in four years is really not expensive, and the Spurs have come up with results in the short term.
