15,000 yuan in one year! Compete for the boss with Doncic! Return to Dallas in the first round No. 9 pick

On September 29, NBA reporter Keith Smith added that Dennis Smith Jr., Jeremiah Robinson Earl and the Mavericks signed Exhibit 9 contracts. Previously, the Mavericks officially announced that the team officially signed the two. Many fans only know the Exhibit 10 contract. Today I will introduce the Exhibit 9 contract to you.

Exhibit 9 is a non-guaranteed training camp contract. If the player is injured during training camp, the team only needs to give him $15,000 to cut it. If the team decides to keep the player, the regular season will be transferred to an unsecured basic salary contract. Recently, Brogdon and the Knicks, Achuwa and the Heat signed Exhibit 9 contracts.

Denis Smith Jr. was born on November 25, 1997, and is under 28 years old. She is in her battle year. He is 1.88 meters tall and has a wingspan of 1.91 meters. He is the first in the U.S. high school point guard in 2016. At the 2017 draft, the Mavericks held the No. 9 draw, and Carlisle suggested choosing Mitchell, but the management still chose Dennis Smith Jr. In the 2017-18 season, Dennis Smith Jr. played 69 games with the Mavericks, all of which were starters. He averaged 29.7 minutes per game, scored 15.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1 steal and 2.8 turnovers, and his three shooting percentages: 39.5%, 31.3%, and 69.4%. Dennis Smith Jr., along with players such as Ball and Bogdan, were selected as the second team of the All-Rookie Team. In the 2018 NBA Draft, the Mavericks sent the No. 5 pick and the 2019 first round pick (Redish) to the Hawks for the No. 3 pick and selected Doncic. Dennis Smith Jr. overlaps with Doncic, and he thought he was the cornerstone of the team. With Doncic's rise, in February 2019, the Mavericks sent Smith to the Knicks.

Denis Smith Jr.'s last time played in the NBA was in the 2023-24 season, when he played 56 regular season games for the Nets, starting in 2 of them. He averaged 18.9 minutes per game, scoring only 6.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals, with three shooting percentages: 43.5%, 29.4%, and 74.1%. He once went to the European League to play last season!
