Today’s news is very sad. Eagle official announced a two-way contract to sign jarert Calver. Three years ago, Culver was the first round of No. 6 show. The starting point was not low. Now he is only 23 years old, but he has become a marginal person in NBA. If we count the players with the most dramatic drop of glasses in recent years, Culver is estimated to be unable to bypass.
Back in 2019, if someone had predicted that Culver would fall into this field, it would be regarded as a madman by most people. At that time, Culver was chosen by the sun in a sequence behind Garland and then changed to the forest Wolf. Behind him, players such as P.J-Washington, Croal, Sabre, Grant-Williams, Poole, Kevin-PROTONIC, Claxton and Terence Mann emerged. Although there were no big names, however, in today’s NBA, it is also a firm foothold. It is an important rotating player of the team, at least it will not give people a feeling of “the right to pick the show is gone.
In fact, Culver’s sequence could have been higher. At that time, DeAndre Hunter was selected by the Lakers in the fourth place in the first round and came to the eagle after several rounds. However, it is reported that Culver was expected to be selected in the fourth place.
Having such a high starting point, Calver is naturally not ordinary. On February 20, 1999, Culver was born in Dallas. At the age of 3, his family moved to lubock, Texas. Culver’s mother is a member of the board of directors of an enterprise, while his father, shiavasa-Culver, is a priest of a local church and is also associated with basketball. Before every game at Texas Tech men’s basketball, you will see old Culver praying for the whole team.
It is reported that little Culver had been obsessed with rugby and football at first, but he went to basketball with his second brother after he went to high school. It is said that the second brother JJ Culver later studied at Wellan Baptist University and once scored 100 points in a single session. And his eldest brother Trey Culver was once a member of the track and field team of Texas Tech University, and he was the fourth highest jump record in 2018. Although he didn’t choose basketball, Trey also kept his love for basketball. The three brothers often played football skills at home.
In his early years, Culver studied at Coronado High School in his hometown, and his basketball team coach Randy Dean was his basketball enlightenment teacher. By the third season of senior high school, Culver had scored 20 points per game, leading the team to the semi-finals of the State High School League. In the fourth season of senior high school, he scored nearly 30 points per game, and at the same time, he also captured the rebounder of the team and the King of the game. Although the shoulder injury recurred, he still led the team to the playoffs and was named a Samsung high school student.
After rejecting the invitations from Baylor University, the University of Texas and the University of Illinois one after another, Culver chose Texas Tech, which had a long history with him.
In the NCAA arena, Culver’s adaptability is also amazing. After only 2 points in the first show, he got 18 points and 7 assists in the second game, and was elected as the best freshman in the 12th district two days later. In the freshman season, Culver scored 229 points, breaking the total score record of freshmen in Texas Tech men’s basketball.
In the sophomore season, Culver was given the status of Texas Tech men’s basketball, and constantly refreshed his individual single scoring record. On March 9, 2019, he scored 31 points in the game against Iowa, setting the highest single-game record in the NCAA career. At the end of the regular season, he led Texas Tech men’s basketball to become the top of the Big 12 district.
The 2019 NCAA Championship made the legend of Culver and Texas Tech men’s basketball. They successively picked the No. 14 seed (Northern Kentucky University), No. 6 seed (Buffalo University), No. 2 seed (University of Michigan) and No. 1 seed (gunsaga University), it was not until the final that I lost to the University of Virginia with 77-85 plus hours.
During this period, Culver made many achievements, his value kept rising, and various honors also poured in. He was elected as the best player in the 12th district in the 12th district and the second team in the United States. Although “Duke Sanjie” attracted the attention of most people in the 2019 draft, Culver, a Samsung high school student of that year, also grew into one of the hottest new stars.
Needless to say, with such a halo to join the NBA, Calver’s current development has opened a huge gap with the best at the same level (Zion, Morante, Garland), which is somewhat embarrassing.
In Cainiao season, Calver played 63 games for Timberwolves, winning 35 first-mover games, with 23.9 minutes of playing time, scoring 9.2 points and 3.4 rebounds. His problem is that the efficiency is not high, with a total hit rate of 40.4% and a three-point hit rate of only 29.9%. However, what everyone did not expect at that time was that this was the highest three-point hit rate in a single season in Calver’s NBA career, and his three-point shooting did not rise but fall later, which could be described as “less investment, not sure.
Calver has excellent physical quality and good defensive skills, but he is a player with “D without 3. In addition, he is used to holding the ball and does not develop no ball. However, the low efficiency makes his holding the ball no threat. At the same time, as a “Feng Wei swing man”, Culver’s position on the court has always been erratic. In addition, the injury did not let him go. His career attendance rate was only over 60%, which made his career lose its luster quickly. Even if he was sent to the grizzly bear by the Forest Wolf, he did not improve, it was once thought that it would disappear in NBA.
It is hard to say that signing the eagle will be a turning point in Calver’s NBA career, and he will have more time to live in the Development League. In middle August this year, Auden once said sadly, “the knee injury made me accept my fate, and the best time of my career stayed in college.” Now Culver may also give the same sigh. Perhaps his NBA career can continue; Perhaps, we will soon never see him again. (Supine support/fur)
