Dig! Reject NBA contract! China’s No. 1 swingman

Oh, Guo Haowen rejected the NBA contract offered by the Pistons this summer.

This news was confirmed by Tongxi team GM Wang Zhen.

Guo Haowen was born on January 31, 2000. He is a 2.01-meter-tall swingman. He played for Tongxi last season. He averaged 33.7 minutes per game in the regular season and scored 16.1 points4 He averaged 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists and shot 38.9%, 29.7% and 79.7% from the field; in the playoffs, he averaged 31.5 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists, and shot 22.7%, 25% and 100% from the field.

According to Tongxi’s domestic player registration information for the 25-26 season, Guo Haowen stayed with the team on a Category C contract. The new season is his contract year, and he has also returned to the team to train and prepare for the game.

As a rare tall defender/ball-handling forward among domestic players, Guo Haowen is the number one breakthrough point in the country. Last season, he averaged 7.1 free throws and 5.7 goals per game in the regular season. However, his delay in developing stable shooting ability has restricted his upper limit.

In 2022, Guo Haowen was not selected for the NBA. In the same year, he represented the Mavericks in the summer league and averaged 5 points and 1 assist in 9.2 minutes per game. Landing in the world's highest basketball palace has always been his dream. However, as mentioned above, he gave up the Pistons contract this summer, which is really confusing...
