Guangdong team is interested in the Pacers Nets backcourt player. He performed well with Sichuan last season?

Basketball

According to some relevant information, the CBA team Guangdong team is in contact with former NBA player Edmond Sumner. If the two sides finally reach a signing agreement, Sumner also has the chance to continue to appear in the CBA next season.

Sumner was born in December 1995. He is 29 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Indiana Pacers in the 52nd pick in the second round in the 2017 NBA Draft. In the NBA, in addition to the Pacers, Sumner has also played for the Brooklyn Nets. Sumner has made a total of 161 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 14 minutes of playing time, averaging 6.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 47% from the field, 34.1% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.1% from free throws. In fact, Sumner has also played some highlights when playing for the Pacers and the Nets. His offensive ability is quite good. He is also a relatively reliable scorer, and his offensive ability is not bad. But the competition in the NBA is indeed too fierce. As we grow older, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Sumner to get a stable contract.

Last summer, Sumner did not get a contract from an NBA team. He finally chose to join the CBA team Sichuan team. He played a total of 26 games in the CBA field last season, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, averaging 35.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 4.1 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 44.6%, three-point shooting percentage 31.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.6%. Sumner's performance in the CBA last season was amazing, showing his amazing scoring explosive power and ball digestion ability. With a large number of ball rights in his hand, he also kept scoring high scores and performing well. His offensive ability and his versatility left a deep impression on everyone. If he can join a team with a stronger and more complete lineup, his role may be more obvious. Everyone also sees Sumner's performance last season, so the Sichuan team also hopes to gain greater benefits by trading Sumner's priority renewal rights. Sumner is indeed very attractive to the Guangdong team, and the Guangdong team does need players of Sumner, but the problem is that the Guangdong team has already signed a lot of foreign players, and Sumner's salary is not low, and they also have to give the Sichuan team enough cash to make the transaction smoothly. Will the Guangdong team really pay a huge price for Sumner?
