Grizzlies sign and sever! The two-way contract signing failed to select new star PJ Hall, and Sion Plin is cut off

The Memphis Grizzlies officially announced the lineup adjustment today, the team cut off striker Sion Plin and signed inside player PJ Hall with a two-way contract. This slash and signing show the team's reassessment of the potential of young players.

New Agent Hall: The Development League is eye-catching, Xia Lian has shown an efficient ending

23-year-old PJ Hall is 2.08 meters tall and is the 2024 draft pick. He played for the Denver Nuggets' Development League affiliate team for most of last season, and delivered a two-double of 18.9 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, proving his presence in the inside. Although he played only 19 games for the Nuggets first team and had limited time (average of only 3.5 minutes), he seized the limited opportunity.

Hall's real shining spots appeared in this summer league. He showed extremely high offensive efficiency, which was converted into data every 36 minutes, and could contribute 24.2 points and 14.7 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was as high as 65.5%. The young insider's finishing ability and rebounding energy at the basket are undoubtedly the key to the Grizzlies' interest in him. This two-way contract is a valuable opportunity for him to prove that he can gain a foothold in the NBA.

bid farewell to Prin: The Development League is stable and the NBA has few opportunities

The cut was also the 2024 draft pick. Last season, he performed quite steadily in the Development League, playing 34 games (22 starts), averaging 15 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, showing a certain comprehensiveness. However, when he was called back to the Grizzlies' first team, the chances were extremely limited.

For the entire 2024-25 season, Prin played only 3 games for the Grizzlies, with a total playing time of only 3 minutes and no data was made. In the highly competitive NBA environment, the failure to seize fleeting opportunities eventually led to his departure.

The Grizzlies' youthful trial and error: Flexible use of two-way contracts

This operation is a typical example of the Grizzlies' flexibly adjusting the edge of the lineup using two-way contracts. Prin, who had proved himself in the Development League but lacked opportunities in the NBA, turned to sign Hall, who showed efficient finishing ability and rebounding potential in the summer league, reflects the team's idea of continuously screening and tapping the potential of young players. Two-way contracts are low cost and flexible, and are ideal for exploring undraft or young players like Hall who have highlights in the secondary league or summer league.

Can Hall transform Summer United's amazing performance into a stable contribution to the NBA regular season? He will start from the bench and strive to win a place in the Grizzlies' inside rotation. This new chapter of the undraft will officially open in Memphis.
