Live broadcast, December 15 -recently, a high-ranking team executive talked about weishao’s substitute in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
The executive said: “This will change people’s views on him. If weishao is willing to be a point guard to change the rhythm of the game, reduce the playing time and devote energy on the defensive end, then the top teams in the league will be interested in him next summer.
“The comparison between weishao and Iverson is reasonable. If Iverson is willing to play a substitute, he instinctively plays three or four more years. He will enjoy the second squad against the opponent, and Wei Shao is also OK.”
This season, Wei Shao averaged 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists in the bench, which was the only the replacements of the league’s average of 15+5+5. Weishao’s salary this season is 47.06 million dollars, and he will become a free agent next summer.
