Yuuki Kawamura was laid off! His latest height was revealed! Is it time to recognize the reality?

Before the start of the new NBA season, the Chicago Bulls waived the team's two-way player Yuki Kawamura.

Bulls team reporter K.C. Johnson reported that Yuki Kawamura was laid off due to health reasons. He had previously missed the team's late preseason games due to pain in his right calf.

He only played two games due to injury, both against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He averaged 11 minutes per game, scoring 3 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

From a statistical perspective, his rebounding performance is better than that of Yang Hansen.

But the NBA is very cruel. All the players in the league form a huge pyramid. As a bottom player with a two-way contract, he cannot be treated like Yang Hansen.

was laid off, which is normal.

Since you are injured, you should recover first and then don’t occupy your position.

How did the location of Hecun come about?

This summer league, he played for the Bulls and averaged 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, thus earning a two-way contract.

Injuries are just an interlude, and shortness is the main theme.

If a player is really malleable and valuable for training, then NBA teams will definitely be willing to wait for you.

Recently, NBA officials also updated Kawamura Yuki’s height data. It was changed from 5 feet 8 (1.73 meters) last season to 5 feet 7 (1 meters 70). He is 3 centimeters shorter.

It may be the difference between wearing shoes and not wearing shoes.

The 1.7-meter yellow guard was able to get a two-way contract for two consecutive seasons and was appreciated by different teams (Grizzlies-Bulls). Regardless of the nationality of the player, Yuki Kawamura is indeed worthy of admiration.

However, judging from his performance...

Last season he was with the Grizzlies as a two-way contract player. He played 22 games in the NBA regular season, averaging 4.2 minutes per game, averaging 1.6 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.9 assists.

In the Development League, he averaged 12.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1 steal in 31 minutes per game. He scored 24 points, 3 rebounds, 14 assists and 6 steals in a single game, and was selected as an All-Star.

He is more suitable to play in the Development League.

Why? There is a ball.

Because this player is only 1.7 meters tall, he is destined to have to perform on the offensive end and have the ball, because there must be holes on the defensive end.

But according to the requirements of the NBA, Kawamura is not Thomas. He does not have the offensive level of 175, the strongest player on the planet. Of course, he does not have the physical fitness of others. Therefore, I make a not-so-bold judgment: Kawamura’s upper limit is two-way contract players. The biggest reason is that he is only 1.7 meters tall. Even if you have other talents, it is difficult to survive in the NBA if you are 1.7 meters tall. If you look at the Rockets in the new season, the average height of the starting players is 2.08 meters. Let him face Amen Thompson? Can fly over his head...On the basketball court, the 10cm height difference is a hurdle.

So after recovering from his injuries, Kawamura Yuki also needs to make a choice. Go to the Development League and work hard to perform, and continue to wait for a call from an NBA team? Continue to pursue the so-called dream? Or after having experience in the NBA, like Yuta Watanabe, return to the Japanese league and become a big brother? There is no right or wrong in this. These two paths are applicable to many Asian players: If he stays in the United States, then I admire his bravery and tenacity. If he comes back, it's not a failure, I can only say that he has recognized the reality.

Life is originally a journey of constant compromise and finally reconciliation with oneself.
