The Nevada Tractor Factory was also thrilled that they hadn't signed Banks back then, choosing instead to give the 200,000 USD to Su Xi... This was the reason their fame had exploded throughout Nevada.
Now, endorsement deals for Su Xi started at seven figures annually.
The Celtics' starting point guard, Atkins, was a typical small guard: fast, with an accurate shot and a very good three-pointer. He was also quite aggressive on the defensive end, but due to his size, his effectiveness was limited. His passing ability was also rather ordinary.
Overall, he and Su Xi were not in the same league.
However, Carlisle said that if Atkins was utilized correctly, he could be enough to create a mismatch advantage against Su Xi.
But then again, the playoffs were a completely different beast from the regular season.
On the last day off before the playoffs began, the NBA announced the All-Rookie First Team: Su Xi, Wade, James, Anthony, and Bosh.
