The Nuggets signed the front Pistons backcourt nerve knife. Is this an excellent opportunity for him to re-prove his ability?

According to the authoritative ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the Denver Nuggets signed a one-year contract with former Detroit Pistons backcourt player Tim Hardaway Jr., who was previously in free agency. Subsequently, according to further information from Denver Post reporter Bennett Durando, Hardaway signed a one-year veteran basic salary contract with the Nuggets.

In the NBA regular season this season, Hardaway Jr. has 77 times in 82 games, averaging 28 minutes of playing time, averaging 11 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He has a shooting percentage of 40.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%, and 85.5% free throw shooting percentage. In the playoffs, Hardaway Jr. made a total of 6 appearances, averaging 31.3 minutes per game, with averaging 12 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.3 steals, 1.5 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 33.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80%.

Hardaway Jr.'s performance this season is actually not ideal. His performance in the regular season is not very stable. He is not a reliable scorer. His offensive efficiency is also very average. Not only that, his performance on the defensive end is also very worrying, and he is not a reliable defender. In the playoffs, Hardaway's performance even further declined. His offensive efficiency was a mess, his three-point shooting percentage was extremely bad, and he did not perform as well as he should. It is no exaggeration to say that the Pistons were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, which is also closely related to Hardaway Jr.'s poor performance. Given his playing time so high, he should have shown greater competitiveness from any perspective, but he hasn't done that.

But the current situation is that the Nuggets signed him with only one basic salary contract, which made the signing suddenly very cost-effective. If Hardaway had a salary of tens of millions, it would certainly be very disappointing that he could only perform like this. But Hardaway is currently a basic salary player. He can occasionally play the role of a nerve knife. When he is in a bad state, he will obviously be pushed on the bench by the team. For Hardaway, joining the Nuggets is also very critical to his career. He needs to prove his ability through this opportunity, and win a bigger contract for himself, and even win a chance to stay in the NBA arena. If he cannot prove his strength in the Nuggets, his prospects in the NBA will also be very worrying.
