The Pacers will sign a former Knicks backcourt veteran. His overall performance last season is very average?

According to Tony East, an Indiana Pacers, the Indiana Pacers are expected to sign backcourt veteran Delon Wright with a training camp contract, and he will also have the chance to appear on the Pacers' training camp roster. The transaction is currently on hold due to physical examinations. According to previous news, the Pacers have reached an agreement with backcourt veteran Monte Morris, but the deal has been cancelled due to Morris' calf injury.

Wright was born in April 1992 and is 33 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 84kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Toronto Raptors in the 20th pick in the first round in the 2015 NBA Draft. In addition to the Raptors, Wright also played for the Memphis Grizzlies, the Dallas Mavericks, the Detroit Pistons, the Sacramento Kings, the Atlanta Hawks, the Washington Wizards, the Miami Heat, the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks. In the NBA regular season, Wright has played 548 times in total, averaging 20.4 minutes per game, averaging 6.7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage is 44.7%, three-point shooting percentage is 34.8%, and free throw shooting percentage is 79.9%.

Wright first played for the Bucks last season. Before the trade deadline, the Bucks completed a deal with the Knicks, and he was also sent to the Knicks. After joining the Knicks, Wright made a total of 14 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, averaging 4.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 0.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%. During the playoffs, Wright played 6 games in total, with 8 minutes per game, averaging 1.2 points, 0.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.2 blocks. He also made 0.2 turnovers, shooting percentage of 22.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 16.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%. Wright's performance last season was quite average. His playing time after joining the Knicks was very limited, and his overall performance also lacked highlights. Therefore, his market in the free market this summer was not ideal and he has never been able to get a contract.

Although Wright's contract details were not disclosed, if nothing unexpected happens, what he should have received should be a contract similar to Morris. According to previous news, Morris received a one-year non-guaranteed veteran basic salary contract, and he needed to win himself the opportunity to stay in the team through training camp and preseason. The Pacers currently have 13 players holding standard guarantee contracts, as well as two players holding non-guaranteed contracts, including James Wiseman and Tony Bradley. It is estimated that Wright needs to compete with Wiseman and Bradley for the quota to stay in the team.
