According to the well-known ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the San Antonio Spurs have reached an agreement with Jordan McLaughlin, who was previously in free agency. McLaughlin received a one-year contract renewal from the Spurs with a total amount of $3 million.
McLaurin was born in April 1996 and is 29 years old, 183cm tall and weighs 84kg. She was the undraft in the 2018 NBA Draft. After becoming an undraft, McLaughlin first played for the Brooklyn Nets' subordinate team, the Long Island Nets, for one season in the NBA Development League. By the summer of 2019, McLaurin received a two-way contract from the Minnesota Timberwolves and became an NBA player. McLaurin spent the first five seasons of his career with the Timberwolves. He is also a relatively reliable substitute point guard and can take on his due tasks within his limited playing time. He still has certain characteristics in controlling dribble and organizing offense. Last summer, McLaurin left the Timberwolves and completed the signing with the Sacramento Kings. However, in a deal involving De 'Aaron Fox before the closing date of last season, McLaurin was sent to the Spurs as a top-notch, and he also played for the Spurs until the end of the season.
After joining the Spurs, McLaughlin made a total of 18 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 6.9 minutes of playing time, averaging 2.5 points, 0.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks, as well as 0.3 turnovers and 0.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 53.6%, shooting percentage of 45% from three-pointers and 100% from free throws. McLaurin does not have much playing time, but his performance in limited playing time is actually quite good. His offensive efficiency is quite outstanding, and he can also undertake certain tasks in passing and organizing. He is also a player with good comprehensive abilities. It is not easy to be able to perform like this when playing time is extremely unstable.
Judging from the current situation, since Chris Paul will not return to the Spurs, and other players, whether they are Fox or the new No. 1 player, are not so pure No. 1 player, and the team really needs to add a reliable ball handler to the second team. McLaurin has been on the team for a while, he is a qualified backup point guard, and he won't complain about his limited playing time. He is a team player. Staying McLaurin behind can be considered as buying an extra insurance for the team.
