The Japan men's basketball team has finished their Olympic journey. Although their Olympic journey has ended, Kawamura's performance on this trip has left a deep impression on the fans, and his performance has completely conquered opponents France and Brazil. In the game against France, he scored 29 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. He also scored 21 points and 10 assists in yesterday's game against Brazil. He combined for 50 points in the two games, and averaged 20.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1 steal in the three games. As a 1.72m player, this really subverts the perception of many fans.
Kawamura has his own personal characteristics, which is why he was able to earn an NBA contract.Yuki Kawamura has agreed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Grizzlies. It also means he has the opportunity to earn a two-way contract in the NBA in the future. Getting a two-way contract means he has a chance to play in the regular season in the future. There are many well-known players in the league who have only started to emerge from the beginning when they were offered two-way contracts, such as Payton Jr., who now plays for the Warriors. It is reported that Yuki Kawamura will go to United States to participate in the preseason training camp of the Grizzlies, and the 23-year-old will leave his comfort zone and officially pursue his NBA dream.
So can Yuki Kawamura's impact on the NBA succeed? Is he really going to create a miracle of 1.7 meters of yellow players landing in the NBA? So with his stature, how can he refine himself to be able to land in the NBA smoothly? Many fans think he should learn from Barria. Ballia is also a 1.7-metre player, but he is a very successful NBA player, playing 14 seasons in the NBA for his career. and also won the NBA championship, and also played a very key role in the Mavericks' journey to win the championship that year.
Many fans think that Kawamura should learn some of Barria's characteristics, but in fact, Kawamura has a better pace of play than Barria, and his three-point shot seems to be more accurate. What he needs to enhance is his confrontation ability, although his confrontation ability is already good now, but once he enters the NBA, he may have to face a lot of misplaced singles from forward players, and his confrontation ability may be a little poor. At that time, it was a great test of his ability to change defenses in a misplaced position. Although Barria is a small player, his defensive ability is not weak, and he has even staged many famous scenes, such as single-defense James and so on.
So if Kawamura wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, what he needs to improve is on the defensive end. On the offensive end, his ability is perfectly adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, because his three-point shooting distance is long enough. And he's extremely fast, even in the NBA, his speed is completely adequate, and his ability to tandem the ball is also his strength. So there are still many people who think that Kawamura has a chance to gain a foothold in the NBA in the future, maybe he will not be a starter in the future, but it should be qualified as a substitute player, I don't know what fans think?
