Tony Snell
SG/SF, 6’7, 220lbs, 25 years old, 4 years of experience
Managed to perform the rare feat of put up pretty much the same numbers as in years prior while looking much improved in doing it. One stat did spike, though; while his offensive talent is low, Snell’s .603% true shooting percentage is a massive increase on the .478% he shot beforehand. Snell’s usage rate went down to 12.1%, but it was only 13.7% beforehand, so it’s not as though he stopped being a focal point. He never was one. He just stopped looking so lost on the court this year. Impressing defensively, Snell is not the ideal three-and-D wing candidate given his very limited handle for a wing, but he’s not a bad one at all.
Player Plan: Entering restricted free agency and meriting a pay rise above the $2,368,327 he received last year. I would argue that Snell’s performance last year was more of a perfect marriage of player and situation than it was born out of talent, and that even though he is a good three-and-D template wing, he is still pretty replaceable, not to be overspent on. In practice, this would mean the three year, $20-24 million range, not four year and $40 million.
