used to play on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team, but now he is not reused by coaches in the NBA

The Warriors' overall performance after bringing in Butler is very good, and the effect of Wiggins and Lee Kyle joining the Heat in exchange for Butler's chips does not seem to be particularly outstanding. Wiggins is okay, after all, he is a starter-level player, and he can ensure plenty of playing time and consistent shots every game, but the situation of Lee Kyle is not so optimistic. He was frequently abandoned by Kerr when he was with the Warriors, and after joining the Heat, he thought he would get more opportunities, but a few games with the Heat show that Heat head coach Spoelstra does not particularly trust him, because his playing time is extremely unstable.

Lee Kyle played less than two minutes against the Hawks some time ago, and less than seven minutes against the Pacers. It was clear that Spoelstra didn't seem to want to let Lee Kyle play too much time on the pitch either. If the two coaches in the league think that Li Kaier is not effective on the court, it means that Li Kaier does need to improve in some skills, otherwise it may be difficult for him to adapt to the NBA.

Of course, everyone knows very well what Li Kaier's shortcomings are, and Li Kaier's biggest shortcoming is that his projection ability is very poor. In the Warriors, Kerr didn't like to use him because he couldn't open up space on the court. When he's on the court, opponents will choose to shrink defensively, which is not conducive to the Warriors' space development. And although he can defend some strikers better on the defensive end of the court, his footstep speed is not dominant at all when facing some speed-type small guards, although he has good passing ability and vision, but this ability alone is not enough to support him to have enough playing time in every game.

Li Kaier has represented the Chinese men's basketball team in world competitions before, and has also played a very good performance, many fans believe that if Li Kaier is not in a good situation with the Heat team in the future, if he cannot get a contract extension in the NBA in the future, he can consider joining the CBA. Li Kaier may not be very outstanding in the NBA, but if he joins the CBA, his scoring ability will not become his shortcoming. Moreover, the speed of CBA players is obviously slower than that of the NBA, and his disadvantages of defensive small guards will not be exposed. In addition, his passing ability can help a CBA team get better, and he can pinpoint the opportunities of the pitchers in that team. In general, an all-round forward like him will give them a huge boost if he goes to any team in the CBA. I wonder what the fans think?
