Shanghai Men's Basketball Team recently announced that the team has officially terminated its contract with Waters and Egbernu. Waters, known as "Brother Water," has been abandoned twice in just a few months! Many fans were dissatisfied when Guangdong Men's Basketball Team gave up on Waters, including myself, who wrote an article to plead for justice on behalf of Waters. However, it now appears that Waters' abilities may not be those of a top-tier small foreign aid!
This season, Waters played ten games, averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game! The statistics are still good, and he is versatile enough, but he only managed to lead Shanghai Men's Basketball Team to one victory! His average of four turnovers per game is the highest on the team, as is his number of shots attempted. Currently, he does not seem to possess the qualities to become the core of a team! Of course, all this is also related to the poor quality of Shanghai Men's Basketball Team's domestic lineup. After Wang Zhelin's injury withdrawal, the team lost an offensive core, adding insult to injury!
Shanghai Men's Basketball Team has recently appointed Lu Wei as the new head coach, and he will surely choose players he likes! Moreover, a player who doesn't listen well is one that the head coach cannot control, and Coach Lu must have concerns about this aspect! If Shanghai Men's Basketball Team does not have high requirements for their record this season, keeping Waters would not be a bad idea. However, the team clearly still aims to make the playoffs, so they can only give up on Waters and look for more outstanding small foreign aid!
Given Waters' level, finding another job should not be too difficult, but joining a team aiming for the playoffs or preparing to compete for the championship seems unlikely! Now that he has just been laid off by Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, there might be teams interested in him. Let's wait and see!
