Tony Snell, a wing shooter with autism

Everyone still remembers Tony Snell, a 3D wing shooter with autism.

Tony Snell, Tony Snell, 6-foot-7 (201 cm), plays as a small forward (SF). He was born in Los Angeles, California, USA in November 1991. He was produced by the University of New Mexico. He was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 20th pick in the first round of the 20th NBA Draft. In his 9-season NBA career, Tony Snell has played for six teams, including the Bulls (2013-2016), the Bucks (2016-2019), the Pistons (2019-2020), the Hawks (2020-2021), the Trail Blazers (2021-2022.2), and the Pelicans (2022.2-2022.7). He played in a total of 601 games in the regular season, including 310 starts, averaging 21.8 minutes per game, scoring 6.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.2 blocks. In the playoffs, 8 of which started, averaged 12.7 minutes per game, scored 2.9 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.3 blocks.

As a forward guard swinger, Tony Snell is also a qualified wing shooter. He has excellent three-point shooting ability and is a stable firepower point on the team's outside line. He has a high free throw shooting percentage. With his excellent arm span, good transverse speed and high assisted defense IQ, he has excellent outside defense ability. However, his athletic ability is average and his ball-holding offensive ability is weak. In addition to shooting, his internal offensive ability is limited, his low-level singles skills are lacking, and his offensive means are single. Most of the time, he can only rely on his teammates to create opportunities, and his independent scoring ability is poor.

Although Tony Snell is a small character in the NBA, he also has some outstanding highlights. On December 14, 2015, local time in the US, in the Chicago Bulls defeated the Philadelphia 76ers at 115:96 at home, Tony Snell started for 37 minutes, scoring 16 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assists and 2 steals, of which 11 rebounds hit the highest single-game rebound in his NBA career.

On March 28, 2017, in the Milwaukee Bucks' 118:108 away game, Tony Snell started for 31 minutes, making 10 of 14 shots (including 4 of 8 three-pointers), and making 2 free throws, scoring the highest single-game 26 points in NBA career, plus 3 rebounds and 1 assist. After the 2022 season ended, Tony Snell failed to get the team's offer and gradually faded out of the NBA, but bad luck followed. In 2023, his two children were diagnosed with autism, and then he was diagnosed with autism. At present, Snell is actively trying to return to the NBA and start his tenth season in order to obtain medical insurance for the whole family (spouse and children) that he can only get ten years of fighting in the NBA. However, at present, there is little hope. I wish this ill-fated defensive champion all the best.
