The former Clippers wing star is expected to join the Greek giants. Is it difficult for him to get a contract in the NBA?

According to SpursReport reporter Dusty Garza, Greek league powerhouse Olympiacos is still seeking to strengthen the roster, and their next goal is Brandon Boston Jr., currently in free agency. Boston was born in November 2001 and is 23 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 85kg. He is the wing player selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2021 NBA Draft in the 51st pick in the second round. In the NBA, Boston played 147 times for the Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans, with averaging 16 minutes per game, with averaging 7.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 32.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 78.1%. Boston had very limited opportunities to play when playing for the Clippers, and he had to play as a substitute for three consecutive seasons, and he was unable to realize his potential. Even if he can show enough competitiveness in the NBA Development League, this cannot impress the Clippers uniform group. During the offseason last season, Boston completed the signing with the Pelicans as a two-way contract player. He even received a long-term contract from the Pelicans in February this year. However, the Pelicans chose to cut him last month, and he has not received a contract from the NBA team since then.

Boston played for the Pelicans as a two-way contract player last season. He made a total of 42 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 23.6 minutes per game, averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 43.6%, three-point shooting percentage 35%, and free throw shooting percentage 78.8%. Boston actually got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities in the Pelicans last season. He also showed off his offensive characteristics in some games. He is a good scorer, and his scoring ability is worthy of recognition. He can also take on some characteristics of passing and supporting. Unfortunately, Boston has no way to stay with the Pelicans. Considering that he has been in the NBA field as a two-way contract player for three years, he has no way to get a two-way contract in the new season, it is indeed difficult for him to stay in the team in this case.

Boston is actually a player with very comprehensive abilities, and he can also show certain characteristics in the NBA arena. Unfortunately, his characteristics and style of play determine that he needs to hold more ball rights to play his value, and for most NBA teams, they may have better candidates in this position. For Boston, switching to overseas leagues is actually a good choice. He can also accumulate experience and self-confidence through overseas leagues. Maybe he will return to the NBA in the future.
