Jeong Kwan-jang announced on the morning of the 25th that he has recruited Michael Young (30) as a foreign player with two options. Prior to this, Jeong Kwan-jang hired Caddy Lahren as an optional foreign player for the 2024-2025 season at the end of June. After going all the way to Las Vegas and looking for a player, he chose Young with two options.
Young, who graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in the U.S., built his career by working mainly in European big leagues such as the French First League, the Israeli First League, and the Turkish First League. With a height of 2m6, he is regarded as a player with both scoring and rebounding capabilities. In the 2022-2023 season, he played 55 games in Kawasaki in the Japanese B League, contributing to the team's regular season division victory. Through this, it seems that they have completed their adaptation to the Asian league and culture.
Recently, he played in six games in the Puerto Rican league, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game.
Michael Young said, `I've heard a lot of good things about KBL from my colleagues around me""I want to prove my competitiveness again with my team's performance in the KBL." I don't have any worries about adapting to the new league. Attention is focusing on whether Jeong Kwan-jang, who has a foreign duo of Caddy Lahren and Michael Young, will overcome last season's failure to regain the prestige of the unified championship champion in the 2022-2023 season.
