The past five months has been one of, if not the, most critical time in Alex Abrines’ life. In addition to getting married and hosting youth camps in Spain, Abrines has spent a lot of time with assistant coach Darko Rajakovic working on his game. And it was time well divided.
With one year left on his current contract, Abrines has some work to do if he wants to stick around. Last year was a perfect opportunity for him to thrive with a thin bench and the eventual injury to Andre Roberson. But instead of seizing the opportunity, Abrines saw his season averages dip from bad to worse.
