The Suns provide a two-way contract qualification quotation for the rearcourt star. Is he actually worth a standard contract?

According to the report of Keith Smith, founder of Spotrac, a source revealed to him that the Phoenix Suns have issued a qualification offer for backcourt player Collin Gillespie, which also makes Gillespie a restricted free agent after the free market is opened. Smith also said that according to relevant regulations, the contract is a one-year two-way contract, with the covered part being approximately $85,000.

In the NBA regular season this season, Gillespie played 33 games in 82 games, averaging 14 minutes per game, averaging 5.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 43%, three-point shooting percentage 43.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 86.4%. In the NBA Development League regular season this season, Gillespie played 11 games in total, averaging 30.8 minutes per game, averaging 19.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and 2.9 turnovers and 1.1 fouls. He shot 44.2%, three-point shooting percentage 30.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 88.6%.

Gillespie almost didn't get any chance in the NBA early in the season. After a period of injury, he also spent some time in the NBA Development League. Gillespie performed very well in the NBA Development League. He showed quite good personal scoring ability, and his performance in passing and organizing offense is also remarkable. His performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. Due to the Suns' record of a mess, the team kept trying various lineup configurations. In addition, Gillespie's performance in the NBA Development League is also worthy of recognition, and the Suns also gave Gillespie some opportunities to perform. As a result, Gillespie also seized the few performance opportunities and showed quite good strength. He became the team's savior in some games. His outside shooting ability was fully reflected, and he also had certain ball control ability and organization and series ability. He was a very all-round backcourt player.

With Gillespie's performance at the end of the regular season this season, I believe that as long as it is not paid too much, the Suns will find a way to keep him this summer. With Gillespie's performance, it can even be said that the Suns gave him a two-way contract and it was a bit unworthy of his performance, and he was completely worthy of a standard contract. Don't know how the Suns will do it next. Will they give Gillespie a standard contract and give him more long and performance opportunities next season?
