He has been confirmed! Full guaranteed contract in the NBA! Yang Hanshen's big brother

Congratulations, congratulations.

Notable reporter Scotto:The Trail Blazers will convert Reece's contract, worth $2.22 million for the 25-26 season, to full guarantee.

Reece was born on June 26, 1996, making him 29 years old this year. He is an Australian, standing 2.11 meters tall, and has played for the Trail Blazers for two seasons, averaging 14.8 minutes per game, contributing 7.1 points and 3 rebounds, with shooting percentages of 45.1% and 34.8%.

It is worth mentioning that before joining the Trail Blazers, Reece played for the Qingdao team in the 22-23 season, averaging 25 minutes per game, scoring 18.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 45% and a three-point percentage of 33.2%. He is a big man with a rich array of offensive skills.

However, Reece and Yang Hanshen were only nominal teammates on the Qingdao men's basketball team in the CBA; they never truly fought side by side, as the latter only started his professional career in the 23-24 season. They did have some lively one-on-one battles during team training.

Reece has always had high hopes for Yang Hanshen. After joining the Trail Blazers, he has tirelessly recommended this Chinese basketball superstar to the team's management, ultimately playing a significant role in bringing the NBA's 16th overall pick, blessed with Eastern mystique, to Portland this summer.

So, in a way, Yang Hanshen's big brother on the Trail Blazers is not Lillard or Holiday, but Reece.

If all goes well, Reece, in his contract year, will play the role of the fourth center for the Trail Blazers in the new season. If Roby is traded or continues to be sidelined for a long time, he will become the third center. In any case, with Yang Hanshen's arrival, his playing time will be greatly reduced, yet he still shows the utmost enthusiasm and support despite knowing this.

Speaking of Roby, it seems that teams like the Lakers have recently shown considerable interest in him... This guy may be fragile, but he truly has talent. If he can maintain long-term health, he even has the potential to compete for the DPOY, having been selected for the All-Defensive Second Team in the 21-22 season.

Back to the main point, the Qingdao team still retains the priority re-signing rights for Reece. Whenever he finds it difficult to continue in the NBA, he can return to his CBA mother team to play at any time, as there is a strong emotional bond between them.
