The Hornets cut off the former Kings Rockets forward line. It may be difficult for him to continue to stay in the NBA?

According to the news of Charlotte Observer reporter Rod Boone, local media Charlotte Observer, the Charlotte Hornets have cut off striker DaQuan Jeffries, and the Hornets also confirmed the news.

Jeffries was born in August 1997 and is 28 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 101kg. He was the undraft in the 2019 NBA Draft. In addition to the Hornets, Jeffries has also played in the NBA for the Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies and the New York Knicks. Jeffries has made a total of 111 appearances in the NBA regular season, with averaging 15.9 playing time, averaging 4.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He has 41.5% shooting percentage, 31.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 78.3% from free throws. In fact, Jeffries also got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities when playing for some teams, but his overall performance is indeed average, and he has never had any obvious improvement. He seems to be relatively mediocre.

In the extremely complex multi-party deal involving Karl-Anthony Towns in October last year, Jeffries was sent to the Hornets by the Knicks. In the NBA regular season last season, Jeffries made a total of 47 appearances, averaging 22.8 minutes per game, with averaging 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks, 0.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 40.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 80%. Jeffries' performance last season still did not improve significantly, but the Hornets had no requirements or expectations for their record, and many key players of the team missed a large number of games due to injuries. In this case, Jeffries still got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities. Unfortunately, he still didn't seize the opportunity to prove his strength.

In fact, Jeffries' ability to stay in the NBA last season is closely related to Towns' extremely complicated transaction that requires players to complete salary matching. He is also relatively lucky to have such a contract. As a result, his performance last season was still very average, and it was indeed a bit difficult for him to continue to stay in the NBA. What's more, Jeffries is already 28 years old, and it is basically impossible for him to make a greater breakthrough in his ability. This layoff may also have a great impact on Jeffries' prospects in the NBA. I wonder if he will have a chance to get contracts from other NBA teams in the future?
