Pang-masa

LAS VEGAS — Nilagdaan na ni Shabazz Napier ang kanyang rookie deal sa Miami Heat.

Napanalisa ang kontrata ni Napier ilang oras bago ang huling laro ng Miami sa kanilang summer league schedule.

Tatanggap ang point guard ng halos $1.2 milyon ngayong season matapos mapili bilang No. 24 overall pick sa nakaraang NBA Draft.

Si Napier, pinamunuan ang Connecticut sa NCAA championship, ang naging ika-12 player na pinapirma ng Heat para sa darating na season.

“I spent a great deal of time studying him in pre­paration for the draft and we liked his qualities: his toughness, his competitiveness, his ability to play big­ger in bigger moments,” sabi ni Heat coach Erik Spoelstra matapos panoorin si Napier sa Las Vegas summer league.

“He has a very good feel for the point guard position but can also play off the ball. He will be a shooter in this league,” dagdag pa nito.
