Remember Yuta Watanabe? The Japanese international that was signed by the Phoenix Suns to much fanfare during the Kevin Durant era because he was an elite 3-point shooter?
Despite being stuck in salary cap hell, the franchise somehow got him on a minimum deal which was seen as a massive win at the time. He didn’t even last a full season in The Valley, and was out of the league not long after that.
Nigel Hayes-Davis is the new Watanabe.
Which appears to be the direction that Nigel Hayes-Davis is headed right now. His signing as a former EuroLeague Final Four MVP was celebrated, and in theory the space was there for him to succeed.
