The Wizards signed the former Iowa State backcourt player, but he is expected to be cut by the team soon?

The Washington Wizards officially announced that the team has signed former free agent backcourt player Keshon Gilbert and forward player Jonathan Pierre with a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10, both of which were undrafts in this year's NBA draft.

Among them, Gilbert was born in June 2003, is 22 years old, 193cm tall and 91kg weight. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. Gilbert made a total of 29 appearances for his NCAA game last season, with averaging 31.4 minutes per game, averaging 13.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 48.4%, three-point shooting percentage 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 72.9%. With his outstanding performance, Gilbert was shortlisted for the third team of the Big 12 League's All-Squad last season, and he was also invited to participate in the G League Elite Training Camp, which also shows that his performance has once again won wide recognition.

Previously, Gilbert also represented the Wizards in the NBA Summer League. He played 3 games in the summer league, averaging 20.1 minutes per game, averaging 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, 2 turnovers and 1.3 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 50% and a free throw percentage of 50%. Gilbert's performance during the summer league is actually quite bright. He did not make crazy moves on the offensive end. He looks like a good team player and he also has quite good personal abilities on the defensive end. It is not easy to be able to play some role in both offense and defense, and to play pretty good data without much playing time.

However, considering that the Wizards have given all the places in the two-way contract, and they no longer have the places in the standard contract, it is basically unrealistic for Gilbert to stay in the team in this situation. We can basically be sure that the Wizards will directly sack Gilbert soon. He should also join the Wizards to play in the NBA Development League's capital Gogo after the start of the new season. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, if Gilbert is cut by the Wizards and can stay in the capital Gogo Group for 60 days in the NBA Development League field next season, he will be able to get a maximum of $85,300 from the Wizards. I don’t know what performance Gilbert will perform in the NBA Development League in the new season. Will we see him in the NBA?
