With the liberalization of the new season's foreign aid policy, teams are successively introducing super foreign players, and some teams have even introduced eight foreign players one after another, hoping to find the most suitable foreign player through continuous trial and error. According to media personality "Zhou Peng Daveeeeee": "Several CBA teams are interested in former Rockets and Timberwolves guard Darius Days-Nix." According to reporter Jon Krawczynski's earlier report, sources revealed that the Timberwolves have cut guard Darius Days-Nix. "In addition, the media personality also revealed that this signing is about to be officially announced, which means that this NBA-level ball-holding core will soon land on the CBA court, will it change the league pattern?
Darius Days-Nix is 22 years old this year, 1.93 meters tall, playing as a point guard. As the No. 1 point guard in the United States among the five-star high school students in the 2020 class, Darius Days-Nix did not go to UCLA to play. He eventually went to the development league. In the 20-21 season, he played for the Rockets, averaging 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. After being cut by the Rockets, Darius Days-Nix turned to the Timberwolves and played three games for the Timberwolves this season, totaling 1 point, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. In the G League Iowa Wolves, Darius Days-Nix played 10 games, averaging 34.8 minutes, contributing 22.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 2.9 steals, with very comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities.
It is worth mentioning that in the game against the Sioux Falls Sky Force this season, Darius Days-Nix scored an astonishing 45 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block for the Iowa Wolves. He shot 14 out of 29 from the field, including 4 out of 13 from beyond the arc and 7 out of 10 from the free throw line, showing his strong scoring ability. Darius Days-Nix has solid fundamentals, good court vision on the court, excels at physical confrontation, and has strong ball-handling ability, but his outside shooting ability needs to be improved.
Many fans believe that once Darius Days-Nix lands in the CBA court, he will become a big gunner and may even perform a dimensional strike. However, the previously signed foreign aid Armes by Guangdong Hongyuan was also top-notch in the development league, but he struggled in the CBA court and was cut before the end of the second stage. Whether Darius Days-Nix can adapt to the high-intensity confrontation in the CBA still depends on his final actual performance. If he performs poorly, he will also face the situation of being cut at any time.
