The Grizzlies renewed their backcourt star with a standard contract. He was once the top pitcher in the NCAA arena?

According to the authoritative ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies reached an agreement with backcourt star Cam Spencer, who received a contract renewal of two years and two years from the Grizzlies with a total amount of $4.5 million.

Spencer was born in April 2000 and is 25 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 93kg. He is the backcourt star from the University of Connecticut who was selected by the Grizzlies in the 52nd pick in the second round in the NBA Draft last year. In the NBA regular season this season, Spencer made a total of 25 appearances, averaging 10.1 minutes per game, averaging 4.2 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.4 steals, 0.2 turnovers and 0.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 41.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%. Due to his identity as a two-way contract player, Spencer has no way to appear in the playoffs.

Spencer's performance this season is affected by playing time and lacks highlights. He has no way to show off his characteristics in shooting, passing and organization, and his data is also very dull. However, his performance in the NBA Development League is remarkable. In the NBA Development League regular season, Spencer played 8 times in total for Memphis, a subordinate team of the Grizzlies, with averaging 32.2 minutes per game, averaging 23.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal, 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 53.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 49.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 76.5%. Spencer is definitely a top scorer in the NBA Development League. He has shown super scoring ability on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage are also incredibly high. He can also provide help in passing and organization. He can also be regarded as a backcourt player with very comprehensive abilities.

In fact, in the 2023-24 season before last year's draft, Spencer's performance at the University of Connecticut was also amazing. He also fully utilized his scoring ability and shooting ability. His three-point shooting percentage in the NCAA field also reached 44%. He is also a top pitcher in the NCAA field, and he is also a key figure in the University of Connecticut to win the NCAA championship again. We can also feel from the contract given by the Grizzlies that they also have high expectations for Spencer. Spencer is fully capable of becoming an excellent pitcher, and he is also capable of growing into an important part of the team's rotation lineup. I wonder if Spencer, who has obtained a standard contract, can get more playing time and performance opportunities in the NBA field next season, and can he launch an attack on the Grizzlies' rotation lineup?
