On September 25, according to media figure @BallCircleZhaoTanzhang’s post: According to the Tanzhang’s understanding, the management of the Shanghai Sharks is very dissatisfied with Blackney’s non-return. In addition to trialing Wilson, they have also urgently signed a shooting guard: Billy Baron (BILLY BARON).
Baron is 33 years old this year, standing at 1.88 meters tall, and was an undrafted player in 2014. He has been playing in European leagues for years, and since 2019, he has successively played for Euroleague giants Crvena Zvezda Belgrade, Zenit St Petersburg, and Armani Milan. He has won the Italian League Championship in 2023, made the second team of the VTB United League in 2022, and was named to the first foreign player team.
From the highlight videos, Baron does not play as a ball-dominant core and is not particularly adept at physical confrontations, but his off-ball shooting is excellent, maintaining a three-point shooting percentage of over forty percent consistently. He certainly cannot completely replace Blackney, but he can pair with Walters, and perhaps this duo will produce more ideal results? What do Shanghai fans think [thinking]?
