Choi Yong-hee has one less chance! The Trail Blazers signed a 21-year-old guard with only one spot left on a two-way contract

On July 12, Beijing time, according to Woj, free agent guard Bryce McGwens has agreed to sign a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers. That means Choi has one less chance, and for now, the Trail Blazers' two-way contract is the last spot left.

McGevens, 21, is the No. 40 pick in 2022 and played in 59 regular-season games for the Hornets last season, averaging 5.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per game while shooting 43.9% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range. The Trail Blazers have previously signed Minaya on a two-way contract and now have McGevens signed, leaving only one two-way contract spot. For Choi Yong-hee, the difficulties have increased, and he needs to show the excellent performance of the summer league to have a chance to compete for this last seat.

Choi Young-hee signed an Exhibit10 contract with the Trail Blazers, and if he doesn't succeed in staying with the Trail Blazers, Choi Young-hee can join an affiliated G League team and play in the Development League after being cut.

In a previous interview, Choi Young-hee talked about the challenges of participating in the Summer League. "In my summer league training camp, it was actually a big challenge," he said. The main challenge for him is that the intensity of the training and the intensity of the game here is very high. I actually had a strain on my Achilles tendon two weeks ago, and it was the first time I had participated in such a large amount of training two days ago, and I could have to practice from 11 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so the continuous strength, shooting, and confrontation made my physical consumption a lot.

"For me, especially with them like DC [Klingen, the No. 7 pick in the first round this year] or a lot of other NBA players, they put a lot of defensive pressure on me. It's a great opportunity for me to improve, but it's also a big challenge. ”

Choi Yong-hee has a clear plan for his future, and even if he fails this time, he will not stop moving forward. "If I take this opportunity, it will be a dream come true, if I fail, my dream will not stop, I will continue to improve myself, play high-quality basketball, continue to learn, so that I can get more opportunities on the court."
