Five players who have poor data but can sign large contracts: Caruso has 80 million in 4 years, and can only be at the bottom

In the NBA, data is not a standard for measuring a player's true strength, otherwise many players with selfless playing may not get big contracts. Most management teams in the league are very smart. They know what this player can bring to the team. Therefore, even if some players have poor data but can contribute to the team, the management team is willing to give him a big contract. Next, we will take a look at the players whose data is not very good but who can win a big contract.

Holiday

Holiday signed a four-year, 135 million contract with the Celtics last year. He is another player over 35 years old and signed a contract of more than 130 million since James and Curry. From this we can also see the value of Holiday. He looks like a blue-collar role in the Celtics, and his data is not impressive enough, but after being put on the shelves, he is still a popular person. The Trail Blazers even sent out the core Simmons they have trained in the past few years, and only in exchange for Holiday.

Holiday averaged only 9.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4 assists in the playoffs last season. This performance is a bit inconsistent with his contract of 32.4 million. However, fans who know Holiday knows how great he is. Two championship rings, top-notch defense and experience, excellent space shooting ability, and first-hand organization and field control ability. Even if he doesn't score, he can affect the game in other aspects.

Gober

Gober signed a three-year, 110 million contract with the team last year. This is because Gobert chose to cut his salary. If it weren't for the salary cut, his annual salary would be more than 40 million. Because he was very happy with the Timberwolves and for a long-term contract, Gobert chose to cut his salary to stay in the team. I believe everyone is familiar with Gobert. He is the top gate of the league and has won the best defensive player in the league four times.

Gobert averaged only 7.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in the playoffs last season. Just looking at the data, he is indeed not worth the contract with an average salary of 35 million yuan, but he is the first core of the Timberwolves' defensive end. At the beginning, the Timberwolves would rather send Towns away to reduce expenses than to send Gobert away. Now their choice is correct. Even without Towns, the Timberwolves can still reach the division finals.

Aron Gordon

Godor signed a three-year, 104 million contract extension with the Nuggets last year. At that time, many fans thought it was not worth it. Although Gordon was a third-ranked or fourth-ranked player in the team, his value was more of a pie. Without Jokic, many fans thought he would not be able to perform like this. In fact, some fans have misunderstood. Gordon sacrificed his data for the Nuggets, and he could have performed better.

He can also eat cookies without empty cuts, and Gordon can even hold the ball and kill. His key ball ability is also great. Everyone saw it in the playoffs last season. Gordon averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists last season. Looking at the data alone, he is indeed not worth a contract with an average salary of over 30 million, and his data is even worse than the Lakers' Little Li, but if you exchange Little Li for Gordon, the Nuggets will definitely not change it.

Zhumeng

Zhumeng signed a four-year, 100 million contract extension with the Warriors in 23 years. This is because Zhumeng lowered the price for the team. You should know that the Grizzlies originally planned to give him a three-year contract of nearly 100 million. This is indeed more tempting than the Warriors' contract, but James gave Meng Meng advice. He suggested Zhumeng to live his life with the Warriors, and Zhumeng also recognized James' approach. In the end, he chose to stay with the Warriors, and he is still the leader of the Warriors.

In the playoffs, he averaged 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Just looking at the data, he is indeed not worth a big contract of more than 25 million, but the value of chasing dreams cannot be reflected in this aspect. He is a small player who can resist the inside, and he has a good ball quotation and support ability. It can be said that Curry is the core of the offensive end, he is the soul of the defensive end. The Warriors can achieve a record, but he is indispensable.

Caruso

Last season, Caruso was able to renew his contract, so the Thunder gave him a four-year, 81.1 million contract, a blue-collar worker, and the sixth man. Caruso got such a big contract. To be honest, this is nothing. In order to get Caruso, the Thunder gave the core Gideon Gideon, the team's main training in the past few years. I believe everyone is familiar with Gideon Gideon. This person is now regarded as the core by the Bulls and will renew his contract for 150 million in three years.

Caruso's functions are similar to Holiday, both of which are top 3D backcourts. However, compared to Holiday now, Caruso is younger and has better impact. Caruso averaged 7.1 points, 3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game last season. Just looking at the data, you may think that he and Payton Jr. are the same level players as Payton Jr., but in fact he is much better than Payton Jr. Caruso is the puzzle that all teams in the championship want. More than 20 million are really not expensive!
