No wonder I withdraw from Xia Lian early! The former Spurs inside star received an invitation from the Serbian giants

According to European media Buzz Sport, NBA player Charles Bassey, who was previously in free agency, will soon join the Serbian giants Belgrade Guerrillas. Basil's agent Marc McNeil told Serbian media Meridian Sport that the Nigerian big man is seriously considering the invitation given by the Belgrade guerrillas. McNeil said other European clubs have also expressed great interest in Pasirie, but the Belgrade guerrillas are still his first choice.

Bassie was born in October 2000. He is 24 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 104kg. He is an inside player from Western Kentucky University selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 53rd pick in the second round in the 2021 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Bassie made a total of 36 appearances for the San Antonio Spurs in 82 games, averaging 10.4 minutes per game, averaging 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 58.1% and a free throw percentage of 63.6%. In fact, Bassi is also a player with good comprehensive abilities. He has good scoring ability at the basket on the offensive end, and he can also provide rebound protection and frame protection on the defensive end. His personal abilities are actually quite good. However, the problem is that Bassi's physical condition is very bad, his attendance rate is a mess, and he has suffered a lot of major injuries in these seasons, which is also an important factor in his inability to gain a foothold in the NBA arena.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Bassie played 3 times in total for the Boston Celtics. In 21.3 minutes of playing time, Bassie could score 15.3 points, 11 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 2 blocks in a comprehensive data, including 4 frontcourt rebounds, 1.7 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 70.4% and a free throw percentage of 100%. Bassi's performance during the summer league was also remarkable. With little playing time, he also fully utilized his scoring ability. He can also play a decisive role in offensive end, and his role in rebound protection and franchise protection is obvious to all.

However, Passi left the Celtics' summer league game early and he did not participate in the team's last two games. Given that he was in a pretty good overall form during the summer league, such an option is more or less incomprehensible. But on the other hand, Bassie may also know that it should be difficult for him to get a stable contract in the NBA arena. In this case, instead of choosing to fight for a non-guarantee contract, it is better to go to the European arena to settle down and find confidence. If Bassi can show sufficient competitiveness in the Champions League, he should have the opportunity to return to the NBA in the future.
