It can play as soon as you appear! Can the University of Houston substitute center get a contract from the Warriors?

In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 82-71. After this game, the Warriors' record in the summer league increased to 3 wins and 2 losses; while the Cavaliers' record in the summer league fell to 2 wins and 3 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Warriors' starting center Javier Francis (Ja 'Vier Francis) was eye-catching. Francis played 20 minutes and 42 seconds in the game, made 7 of 11 shots and 0 of 2 free throws, scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and had 1 turnover and 5 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +2. Francis showed a pretty good scoring ability at the basket on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency was quite good, and he was able to create a considerable threat in the opponent's inside. Francis has performed well on the offensive end, and his performance on the defensive end is actually worthy of recognition. He has also shown a certain ability to protect the frame, and his personal defensive ability is also quite outstanding. Francis also played his role in both offense and defense in this game, and he also made great contributions to the team's victory.

This game is Francis' second appearance in the summer league. In the game where he lost to the San Antonio Spurs on July 7, he made 5 of 8 shots, 0 of 1 from the three-point line, and 0 of 1 free throw, and scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks. He also had 2 turnovers and 6 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -21. Francis' performance in the previous game was actually good. Similar to this game, he was able to create certain threats in the opponent's interior. He also showed his characteristics in the frame protection on the defensive end. Francis played his character in both games. It is not easy to be able to show your own characteristics immediately without much playing time.

Francis was born in October 2003 and is 21 years old, 203cm tall and weighs 107kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. Francis was just a substitute center at the University of Houston before. He didn't play much, and his performance was relatively average. He didn't seem to be a player with outstanding comprehensive abilities. It is reasonable that Francis eventually became the draft pick since the beginning. Francis didn't get enough playing time in this summer league, but he seized the few opportunities and showed enough competitiveness, which also shows that he may be an underrated player to a certain extent. I wonder if Francis will get a contract from the Warriors next?
