Although the Grizzlies are interested in signing him, the Australian inside player still chose to return to the NBL field?

Australian NBL team Tasmania Jump Ant officially announced that the team has signed back Will Magnay, the inside player who has played for the team in the past few seasons.

In the NBL last season, Magne played 13 games, averaging 25.8 minutes per game, averaging 13.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 63.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 37.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 60.5%. In the Turkish League last season, Magne played 11 times in total for Mersin BSB, averaging 14.5 minutes per game, averaging 5.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks, 0.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 63.6% and a free throw percentage of 46.9%. Magnay's performance in the NBL arena is quite good. He has rich offensive methods and comprehensive scoring abilities. He can also provide rebound protection and basket protection on the defensive end. However, in the Turkish League, his performance also showed a relatively obvious decline, and his role on the court is far from that in the NBL arena.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Magne played 3 times for the Memphis Grizzlies, averaging 16.8 minutes per game, averaging 6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.2% and his free throw percentage was 75%. Magnay's playing time during the summer league is still relatively limited, and his performance is not without highlights. He has also shown certain scoring ability at the basket, and he also has certain ability to protect the basket on the defensive end. It's just because of the impact of playing time, it's really hard for him to perform better. There was also news that the Grizzlies were interested in signing Magnay, but in the end he chose to return to the NBL arena. Magnay said in a statement: The summer league was very wonderful for me and a valuable opportunity, and I loved this experience very much. Now I'm very excited about going home to play, now I'm going to start playing with my new team. At this stage, it also shows that the Grizzlies should not provide a guarantee contract to Magnay, and may not even be willing to provide him with a two-way contract. At most, they will only provide him with a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses. Even if Magnay signs with the Grizzlies, he has to face fierce competition to stand out and get the opportunity to stay in the team. Without a good chance, returning to the familiar NBL arena may be the more ideal choice.
