Santi Aldama has reached an agreement to renew his contract with Memphis Grizzlies for 3 seasons in exchange for 52.5 million dollars (an average of 17.5 million per year). The Spanish player, who took a step forward last year showing his quality in the team, had his continuity with the Tennessee team guaranteed, and it has indeed happened.
Thus, barely twenty minutes into the start of free agency, Santi, who was a restricted free agent, swiftly signed his renewal with the team that drafted him, placing trust in him and allowing him to evolve in the NBA during 4 years of continuous progress. Now, he has rightfully earned the opportunity to continue and have a more significant role in the team (although he will still come off the bench).
Last season, Santi averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 0.8 steals in 25 minutes per game. He is a player who can adapt to playing in various positions, with a good shooting touch and the ability to take on more or less responsibility on the court as needed due to injuries without any problem. Year after year, he has increased his scoring and rebounding, earning himself a well-deserved big contract.
