Steve Clifford, head coach of the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). praised by Give Bertan.
“Obviously, Davis is a great pitcher, but he causes a lot of problems [pretinieku] of defense by its movement alone. And he never keeps the ball to himself – he either throws it or returns it, and this is the essence of the game,” said the “Hornets” captain.
Bertand joined Charlotte during the offseason after being traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder. In 28 games, he averaged 8.8 points and 1.8 rebounds, making long shots with 37.5% accuracy.
The player’s option is included in the Latvian’s contract, and after the season the choice will be in the hands of Bertans himself – to remain in the “Hornets” ranks for the next season, earning 16 million dollars, or to become a free agent.
This season, the Charlotte team has celebrated only 20 victories in 81 games and, regardless of the outcome of the last match, will finish in 13th place in the Eastern Conference.
