The performance was not good last season! Will the former Grizzlies forward star stay in La Liga in the new season?

La Liga team MoraBanc Andorra officially announced that the team has completed the signing with forward player Yves Pons from France. Pons received a two-year contract from the team, and he will also continue to stay in La Liga in the new season.

Pons was born in May 1999 and is 26 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 84kg. He is the undraft in the 2021 NBA Draft. Pons signed with the Memphis Grizzlies shortly after the draft, and he even received a two-way contract from the Grizzlies after the summer league. In the NBA, Pons has played 12 times for the Grizzlies, averaging 5.9 minutes per game, with averaging 1.1 points, 1 rebound, 0.1 assists, 0.1 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.1 turnovers and 0.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 31.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 0%. In the NBA Development League field that season, Pons played 15 times in total for Memphis, a subordinate team of the Grizzlies, with averaging 28.6 minutes per game, averaging 10.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.9 blocks. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.6%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 69.2%.

Pons' performance in the NBA is not ideal, and he has not shown any outstanding talents. Not only that, Pons' performance in the NBA Development League field did not have much highlights. Even in the NBA Development League field, he could not fully display his talents, and his performance was still a little struggling. It is also because his overall performance could not meet expectations. He was cut off by the Grizzlies and left the team after only one season in the NBA. Since then, Pons has participated in NBA Summer League games many times, but his performance has never been recognized by everyone, and he has never been able to get a contract from an NBA team.

Pons has spent the last few seasons in European arena. He first spent a season in the French Ligue 1 powerhouse Asvel Basket, but he was just a substitute for the team. He has spent the past two seasons with La Liga team CB Girona. In last season's La Liga, Pons made a total of 16 appearances, averaging 19 minutes of playing time, averaging 5.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 38.1%, three-point shooting percentage was 31.7%, and free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%. Pons's improvement in the past few seasons has actually been very limited, and his performance last season was even worse than in the 2023-24 season. I wonder what kind of performance Pons can perform in the new season after turning to his new boss. Can he bottom out and rebound?
