After winning the Bundesliga FMVP, choose to jump out of the contract. Which team will the Heat choose to join in the backcourt?

According to European basketball media BasketNews, former NBA backcourt player Shabazz Napier chose to leave the team after playing for Bayern Munich for one season, and he gave up his contract renewal option for the 2025-26 season. The agency BDA Sports announced the news on its social media account, which also means that Napier will become a free agent again.

Nepil was born in July 1991. He just turned 34 years old, 185cm tall and weighed 82kg. He was a backcourt player from the University of Connecticut who was selected by the Miami Heat in the 24th pick in the first round in the 2014 NBA Draft. In the NBA, in addition to the Heat, Napier has also played for the Orlando Magic, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Brooklyn Nets, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Washington Wizards. He made a total of 345 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 17.4 minutes per game, averaging 7.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 39.7%, three-point shooting percentage 34.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.5%. Napier helped the University of Connecticut win the NCAA championship twice in 2011 and 2014. He was the winner of the NCAA Final Four MOP in 2014 and was the best player on the NCAA field that season. Unfortunately, in the NBA, Napier's performance has always been very average and has not shown particularly outstanding personal abilities.

Since the summer of 2021, Napier has begun to switch to European arenas. He has played in the VTB League, Serie A, Adriatic League and Bundesliga, and he has also appeared in the NBA Development League for a short time. He has won two Adriatic League titles, and he has also helped Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga title last season. Not only that, Napier is also the Bundesliga FMVP winner last season, and he has also made great contributions to Bayern Munich's ability to win two consecutive Bundesliga titles. In the European arena last season, Napier made a total of 71 appearances in all competitions, averaging 20.5 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.2 steals, 1.8 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 44.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 39%, and free throw shooting percentage of 91%.

Nepil's performance last season was actually quite good. He was able to show off his characteristics in all aspects within his limited playing time. His role on the court is also very outstanding. He was able to stand up and help the team make contributions at critical moments. In this case, we also have reason to think that Napier should believe that he can get a more ideal contract. I don't know which team Napier will join next.
