Refusing to play in the European arena, the former Spurs inside star still hopes to join the Celtics?

NBA reporter Noa Dalzell updated his social media account, and he also talked about the trends related to the current free agent inside star Charles Bassey. Dalzell said sources revealed to him that Charles Bassey currently has no plans to play overseas, although there have been multiple news reports that he will sign with overseas teams. Charles Bassey still believes that the Boston Celtics he played in the summer league was his ideal next home, and Boston's continuous victory team culture also has a high appeal to him.

Bassie was born in October 2000. He is 24 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 104kg. He is an inside player from Western Kentucky University selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 53rd pick in the second round in the 2021 NBA Draft. Bassie didn't play much in the NBA season in his rookie season, and he was also cut by the 76ers after the rookie season. He has since joined the San Antonio Spurs and has played for the Spurs for the past three seasons. Bassi has played 113 times in the NBA regular season, averaging 11.1 minutes per game, averaging 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He has 63.1% shooting percentage, 23.1% three-point shooting percentage and 64.8% free throw shooting percentage.

In the NBA regular season last season, Bassie made a total of 36 appearances for the San Antonio Spurs in 82 games, averaging 10.4 minutes per game, averaging 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 58.1% and a free throw percentage of 63.6%. Bassi's performance is actually not without highlights, but the problem is that his injury is really worrying. Bassi has played more than 40 times in the past four seasons. He has suffered major injuries many times, which has seriously affected his progress and development. Bassi is a player with very good personal abilities, but his physical condition is indeed worrying, which should be an important factor in the Spurs' failure to renew his contract with him.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Bassie played 3 times in total for the Boston Celtics. In 21.3 minutes of playing time, Bassie could score 15.3 points, 11 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 2 blocks in a comprehensive data, including 4 frontcourt rebounds, 1.7 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 70.4% and a free throw percentage of 100%. Bassi's performance in the summer league is also quite outstanding. He has shown extremely high personal abilities on both offense and defense, and his performance on the court is also very outstanding. However, so far, he has not received a contract from an NBA team, which also shows that his market conditions in the market are not ideal. Bassi can get a good contract from the European arena, but can he really get a Celtic contract?
