NOVEMBER 22: The Grizzlies have made their deal with Konchar official, announcing it in a press release.
NOVEMBER 21: The Grizzlies are signing swingman John Konchar to a four-year, $9MM deal, agent Happy Walters told Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Konchar, 24, was on a two-way contract with the team last season, averaging 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in his 19 games. He spent most of his time with the team’s G League affiliate, holding per-game averages of 12.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 29.1 minutes. He received a qualifying offer from the Grizzlies earlier this week that made him a restricted free agent.
In addition to Konchar, Memphis also agreed to a new four-year contract with De’Anthony Melton on Saturday, plus two-way deals with Killian Tillie and Sean McDermott earlier in the week. The team lost forward Josh Jackson to Detroit when free agency began Friday night.
Konchar went undrafted in 2019, signing a two-way contract with the Grizzlies shortly thereafter. He spent four seasons at Purdue University Fort Wayne from 2016-19.
Who?
I honestly don’t know who he is, so I cannot make an educated guess/statement. Good for him though. Hope he invests some of that money for future generations.
Why feel compelled to answer that question? Tats doesn’t care.
I know everyone is just gonna say who?? But this is actually a good signing. Watched him play a few games last year and he has heart and can score. When you google him the wrong grizzlie pops up for gosh sakes!
Excellent signing. Analytics love him. Simply a great team guy and does all the little things without being a negative anywhere on the court
Yup exactly
I bet this will be better for the Grizz than that Jon Koncak contact was for the Hawks.
