A powerful scorer on the bench! Will the Thunder provide a contract for the former Mavericks backcourt star?

In a previous NBA Summer League California Classic, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 89-78. After this game, the Thunder won the first victory in the summer league, with a current record of 1 win and 1 loss; while the 76ers suffered two consecutive losses in the summer league.

In this game, Jazian Gortman, the Thunder's substitute backcourt player, still maintained his feel and condition. Gottman played 14 minutes and 22 seconds in the game, made 5 of 8 shots, 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 12 points, 2 assists and 1 steal, and the plus and negative values ​​also reached the highest +11 in the game. Gotman showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency was quite outstanding, his scoring ability was very good, he also had certain passing and organizational skills, and his performance on the defensive end was pretty good, and there were no big problems. Considering that Gottman has very little playing time, it is already very difficult for him to perform like this. Gottman played the role of the sixth man well, and his outstanding performance also helped the team's second team stabilize the situation, which is also an important factor in the team's victory.

Gotman's performance was actually good in the previous game when the team lost to the Memphis Grizzlies. Gottman played 15 minutes and 35 seconds in the game, made 4 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and had 3 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of -3. Gottman also showed quite good scoring skills on the offensive end in the previous game. He also used breakthroughs to complete a lot of scoring when his playing time was also limited, and he also proved that he could provide support in conducting the ball and dominating the ball. Gottman's performance was very similar in the two games, and he was also the most brilliant player in the team's second team. It is definitely not an easy task to maintain such offensive efficiency and scoring ability while playing time is so limited.

Gotman was born in April 2003 and is 22 years old, 185cm tall and weighs 79kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Gottman first spent a season in the NBA Development League after becoming a undraft, and then received a two-way contract from the Dallas Mavericks last season, but he was cut by the Mavericks in January this year. In the NBA regular season last season, Gottman made a total of 16 appearances, averaging 3.5 minutes per game, averaging 1.5 points, 0.3 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.1 steals, and 0.1 blocks, 0.3 turnovers and 0.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 39.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 50%. In the NBA Development League last season, he made a total of 34 appearances for the Mavericks' subordinate team, Texas Legend, and averaged 34.5 minutes per game, with averaging 20 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, 5 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 45.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 27.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.3%. Gottman looks like a pretty good scorer in the low-level game, and I don't know if his performance in the summer league will impress the Thunder uniforms and get a contract.
