Although he won the regular league 'Wire to Wire Win' in the 2023-2024 season, it is a move to quickly build up power and prepare for the new season to clear the disappointment of losing to Busan KCC in the semifinal playoff.
DB, which brought Chinanu Onuaku back as a one-option foreign player for the first time in four years, said on the 10th that it recruited center Robert Carter (2m3, 110kg), who played in Anyang Jeonggwanjang last season with two options.
Carter, a graduate of the University of Maryland, played in Europe and Japan and played 32 games in the articles of association last season, averaging 16.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. Despite being tall, he is evaluated as a player with good shooting ability and excellent rebound. As a result, DB concluded the foreign player contract and completed the formation of players for the 2024-2025 season.
The DB's goals revealed in the composition of foreign players are clear. He is determined to achieve the combined championship title of the regular league and championship game, which he failed last season, in the new season. To this end, the post height was further strengthened.
DB won the regular league last season by utilizing tall resources such as Kim Jong-kyu and Kang Sang-jae, centering on the one-option foreign player Didrick Lawson. However, in the semifinal playoff, KCC, which put 'Super Team's prowess ahead, was caught. Coach Kim Joo-sung swallowed his disappointment and vowed to `revenge.'
DB initially sought to renew the contract with Lawson, but it was canceled because the conditions did not match. Dionte Burton was then about to re-enter, but this also went wrong at the last minute. He quickly recruited Onuaku, who led the team to win the regular league four years ago. Onuaku has a different style of play than Lawson. The work is in full swing to meet this.
On top of that, Carter, who has already been proven to some extent through last season, has built a post-power that is comparable to any other team. Thanks to the retention of Kang Sang-jae and Kim Jong-kyu, the framework of basic tactics is maintained, so if only harmony with new foreign players can be achieved stably, it is worth trying again to achieve the goals that were not achieved last season. It is expected that DB, which has reorganized its power, will take action.
