2017 NBA Manifesto
Matthew Dellavedova
PG, 6โ4, 198lbs, 26 years old, 4 years of experience
Dellavedova was exposed and over-exposed at the start of the year, thrown into a starting role ill-fitting to his limited skill set. It was not pleasant watching him chase opposing star point guards while being pretty much unable to get into the paint without a double-screen himself. The effort was there, yet the talent was not. The shot suffered a bit, and his fairly milquetoast contributions of spot-ups, occasional low-percentage floaters and relatively mistake-free passing is always going to be better suited to the bench. And with the Brogdon Breakout, thatโs where he found himself. It was for the best.
Player Plan: Three years and circa. $28.8 million remaining, with no options. Thatโs quite a lot of money for a backup point guard, especially a not particularly good back-up point guard. If someone should ever want that contract, let them have it.
