KT Park Joon-young certainly did a step-up. KT is without Huh Hoon and Moon Sung-gon. However, it is a three-game winning streak. He even caught Hyundai Mobis.
Park Joon-young played only 17 minutes and 25 seconds in a game between KT and Ulsan Hyundai Mobis at the KCC professional basketball regular league home in the 2024-2025 season at Sonicboom Arena in Suwon on the 24th.
He played 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist. KT defeated Hyundai Mobis by a score of 91 to 78.
Starting from the bench, Park Joon-young dominated the game in the third quarter. Park Joon-young, who was replaced by Ha Yoon-ki, virtually won the game with a series of three points. In addition, he recorded a golden rebound. In the third quarter alone, he played 6 minutes and 32 seconds, scoring 11 points and one rebound.
In the match against DB, Park Joon-young also performed 'Crazy Performance'. DB was on a winning streak. It's a team with Ethan Albano and Chinanu Onuaku.
KT chose 'Gukjipjeon', which can be seen in a slam dunk. The key was Park Joon-young. The target was Onuaku. He targeted Onuaku's narrow defensive width. He dragged it out to the outside and caused DB's defense to collapse little by little with a solid three-point shot.
It was a key role inside and outside. In the end, KT won by turning the tables. It was the driving force for KT to win three consecutive games with key domestic aces and two-option foreign player Romero incomplete.
KT created a mismatch and counterattacked the opponent as Park Joon-young, as well as Moon Jung-hyun and Han Hee-won, played an active role as domestic forwards.
Park Joon-young suffered a lot. Drag in 2018? He was selected by KT as the No. 1 player in the first round. He was tall at 1m95 and capable of multi-playing. However, there was a chronic weakness of undersize big men. He didn't have much speed either.
It was not easy to convert three times. The athletic ability was ordinary. Because of this, it was not easy to adapt in a professional.
The most likely candidate at the time was Byun Joon-hyung (director Jeong). However, as KT picked Park Joon-young as the first choice, Byun Jun-hyung was pushed to the second place. Byun Jun-hyung was on a roll. He grew into a national guard and became the core of the articles of association. Among basketball fans, the buzzword "Byeon Dae-bak (Byeon Jun-hyung skipped and Park Jun-young)" came out. KT's choice of Park Joon-young instead of Byun Joon-hyung, and the words were close to sarcasm that implied strong criticism of Park Joon-young.
Park Joon-young changed his mind after being discharged from Sangmu. KT manager Song Young-jin said "He is originally a player with this skill level. The difference is the mindset. Now, the professionalism is thorough. There was no urgency to do something until last season, but this season has completely changed."
