Kuminga thinks about it again? Most of the QO first-round picks have failed in the past 8 years. Noel is wronged and Xiaoqiao has no choice

The tug-of-war between the Warriors and Kumingga has new news today. Warriors reporter Anthony Slater said that Kumingga is considering accepting a one-year qualification offer of 7.9 million. Regarding this news, it may be a threat from Kumingga. He wants the Warriors to make concessions. It may be that Kumingga is really considering this matter and wants to take a gamble. If he signs a qualification offer and then performs well next season, he will no longer be a restricted free agent next summer, but a complete free agent and can freely pursue a big contract.

If you really sign a qualification quote, then next season will be a big bet for Kumingga. If you play well, everything will be easy. If you play poorly, you may lose all the game. The data in the NBA in recent years has also made people worry about Kuminga. In the past eight years, only five first-round picks have been signed after becoming restricted free agents. Among them, only Miles Bridges signed a good contract a year later. Today, Lao Zhen will take you to review it.

Alex Ryan

Ryan was the No. 5 pick in 2013. His performance during the rookie contract period was average. In the 16-17 season, he played 77 games, averaging 20.3 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists. After the season, the Suns offered him a year-on-year qualification offer of 4.2 million, and he chose to sign this contract later.

chose a quotation of 4.2 million yuan in one year. The big reason is that Ryan has no better choice. His performance in the 17-18 season was still average, playing 69 games, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, scoring 8.5 points and 7.5 rebounds. By the summer of 2018, he joined the Hawks for 8.5 million in two years as a complete free agent. Noel Noel was the No. 6 pick in 2013. In the 16-17 season, he played for the 76ers and the Mavericks, playing 51 games, averaging 20.5 minutes per game, scoring 8.7 points and 5.8 rebounds. In the summer of 2017, Noel rejected the Mavericks' 4-year 70 million offer and chose to sign a qualification offer of 4.19 million in one year because he wanted a bigger contract.

In the 17-18 season, Noel played only 30 games, averaging 15.7 minutes per game, scoring 4.4 points and 5.6 rebounds. With such a performance, the big contract is gone. After the season, he joined the Thunder with a basic salary and signed 3.7 million yuan for two years.

Houd

Houd was the No. 23 pick in 2014. He was traded by the Jazz to the Cavaliers in the last year of his rookie contract. After joining the Cavaliers, his data dropped sharply, playing 21 games, averaging 25.3 minutes per game, scoring 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists, shooting percentage of 44.2% and three-point shooting percentage of 35.2%.

In the summer of 2018, the Jazz offered a year-on-year qualification offer of 3.4 million to Hood, whose rookie contract expired, and Hood later signed the contract. The Cavaliers did not leave Hood in the 18-19 season, and traded him to the Trail Blazers in the middle of the season. He performed averagely with the Trail Blazers and renewed a two-year contract of 11.7 million with the team after the season.

Valentine

Valentine was the No. 14 pick in 2016. His data steadily improved in the first two years of entering the league, but injuries made him miss the entire 18-19 season. In the following 19-20 season, he played only 36 games, averaging 13.6 minutes per game, scoring 6.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists.

In the summer of 2020, the Bulls issued a one-year qualification offer of 4.7 million yuan, and Valentine signed the contract. Valentine played 62 games in the 20-21 season, averaging 16.7 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists, but this did not enhance his market value. After the end of the season, he joined the Cavaliers for 4.1 million in two years.

Miles Bridges

Kashiro was the No. 12 pick in 2018. His career fell to the point of signing qualifications. The big reason was that he was arrested for domestic violence in the summer of 2022. This incident shut the door on him, although he averaged 20.2 points, 7 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in the 21-22 season.

Bridges missed the entire 22-23 season due to domestic violence. The league imposed a 30-game suspension on him in mid-April 23, 10 of which were executed in the 23-24 season. In the summer of 23, Hornets offered him a qualification offer again. Xiaoqiao had no other choice, and then signed the one-year contract of 7.9 million.

23-24 season, Bridges successfully saved his NBA career, playing 69 games, averaging 37.4 minutes per game, scoring 21 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists. However, the market's reaction to him was still average. After the season, he and the Hornets renewed their three-year 75 million.
