The Celtics execute the team options for the backcourt star, will he get more opportunities next season?

According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, the Boston Celtics will choose to execute the team option of backcourt star JD Davison's contract next season. JD-Davidson's contract amount next season is $2.27 million, which is completely insured.

In the NBA Development League regular season this season, Davidson played 30 times for the Celtics' subordinate team, the Maine Celtics, with averaging 34.5 minutes per game, averaging 25.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 3.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 48%, three-point shooting percentage 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 74.2%. In the NBA Development League playoffs this season, Davidson played 3 times for the team, averaging 39.5 minutes per game, averaging 34.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 13.3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 52.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 41.7%, and free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%. With his outstanding performance, Davidson was elected the NBA Development League MVP this season. He was also shortlisted for the NBA Development League All-Team Team. He also led the Celtics' NBA Development League team, the Maine Celtics, to the NBA Development League Eastern Conference Finals. He is also one of the best players on the NBA Development League this season.

However, Davidson's playing time in the NBA are still relatively limited. In the NBA regular season this season, he played 16 games in 82 games, averaging only 5.8 minutes per game, and averaging only 2.1 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 0.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 35.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 22.2%, and free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%. In the playoffs, Davidson played 4 games in total, with averaging 3.3 minutes per game, averaging 1 point, 0.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 0.2 turnovers, shooting percentage of 12.5%, shooting percentage of 3-pointers and shooting percentage of 50% from free throws.

Davidson performed quite well in the NBA Development League, but unfortunately, he still couldn't get more playing time and performance opportunities in the NBA arena. His performance was also very average, and he did not show off his ease in the NBA Development League. However, it is worth noting that the direction of the Celtics' development may undergo tremendous changes next season. The team has sent away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and Jayson Tatum has also been reimbursed for injury. They may also give young players more opportunities to perform next season. In this case, can Davidson get more opportunities to perform and exert his strength?
