” I'm not going to take anything for granted, because I know that at any second, it could end. “, displayed Live Krejci last April. His adventure in Atlanta will instead continue. According to Adrian Wojnarowskithe Hawks guard agreed to a four-year, $10 million contract.
A nice reward for this player considered an internal development success for coach Quin Snyder and his GM Landry Fields. Drafted in the second round of the Draft in 2020 (37th pick), the Czech had to wait before getting a real chance in the NBA, with the Hawks.
It must be said that he had a chaotic start to his career: picked up by the Thunder in 2021, then transferred to the Hawks, cut a first time, then picked up by the Wolves before being cut again. Before finally finding Atlanta, at the end of 2023, via a “two-way contract”.
But last spring, he took advantage of Trae Young's absence to show himself. Author of several outings with more than 15 points, the shooter showed over a few weeks that he was capable of punishing from afar. In about twenty appearances, Vit Krejci averaged 6 points for 41% success behind the arc.
With Dejounte Murray gone, the 24-year-old could play alongside Trae Young next season.
Two-way contract : Designed to create a new bridge between the NBA and the G-League, this type of contract allows each team to secure the services of two or three additional players, to have them play mainly in their affiliated development league franchise but also up to 50 matches in the NBA.
