第二阵容急需的大个子球员回来了
我知道现在的样本量还很小，但我已经对查尔斯·巴斯利(Charles Bassey)在球场上的表现感到非常兴奋了。
他已经缺席很长时间了。2022-2023赛季，他出战了35场比赛，但这位出生于尼日利亚的大个子球员在上赛季的大部分时间里都因前交叉韧带受伤而缺阵，只打了19场比赛。
就我个人而言，自从巴斯利加入球队以来，我一直很看好他。他有很多天赋有待雕琢，但他已经拥有了扎实的篮球智商。他拥有在油漆区卡位和对抗的能力，足以应对联盟中几乎任何一支球队的第二阵容。
所以，现在看到他在场上获得任何上场时间都是一种恩赐。而我们从这份耐心等待中得到了什么？
上周二，巴斯利上场10分钟，抢下4个篮板，命中2球。
需要说明的是，这两个球是这样的：
然后在第四节又来了一次：
然后在周四晚上对阵休斯顿的比赛中，他又一次做到了：
他在14分钟的上场时间里得到10分、5个篮板和一个精彩的盖帽。
虽然样本量很小，但巴斯利展现出了耐心和力量。当他与一名控球娴熟的控球后卫搭档时（就像我们现在看到的卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)，也希望他继续成长），他的空接配合将具有巨大的潜力。

Open Thread: The impressive return of Charles Bassey
A much needed big man presence in the second unit has reemerged
I know it has not been a huge sample size, but already I am quite excited to see Charles Bassey on the court.
He has been out a long time. He played in thirty-five games in the 2022-2023 season, but an ACL injury sidelined the Nigerian-born big man for most of last season, being limited to nineteen games.
Personally, I was high on Bassey since he joined. He had a lot of raw material to be molded, but already had a solid basketball IQ. He possessed and understanding of positioning and strength in the paint necessary for taking on almost any second unit in the league.
So seeing him earn any time on the court right now is a blessing. And what did we get for our patience?
Last Tuesday, Bassey played ten minutes and pulled four boards and knocked down two baskets.
To be clear, these were his two baskets.
And again in the fourth quarter.
And then again on Thursday night in Houston:
He scored 10 points with 5 rebounds and a filthy block in his fourteen minutes of play.
From the smallest sliver of a sample, Bassey is showing patience and power. When paired with a smooth point guard (which is what we are seeing in Castle and hope is developing), his alley oops game has the potential to be fierce.
