No. 1 Seoul SK has Jamil Warney. He is the best foreign player this season. In second place Hyundai Mobis, the first option Shaun Long is weaker than expected, but the second option gauge Prim plays a role of more than one option. He is a player who can play the role of one option right away even if he is assigned to another team. Korea Gas Corporation, ranked third, has scoring machine Andrew Nicholson. He is a player with a thorough professionalism and a mind that values team chemistry. The second option is the best two-option foreign player in pottery.
In other words, the first to third teams all have strong foreign players.
However, what's more serious this season is the fact that forwards and guards are also dominated by Asian quarter players.
The best main ball handler at this point is DB Lee Sun-Albano. The competitor is Joseph Bellangel of Korea Gas Corporation. Albano, who won the regular league MVP last season, is raging even more this season with his shrewd self-management. Belangel, who has completely 'reformed' by managing body fat in the off-season, is also showing top-notch performance. In addition, the most outstanding player in the forward is LG Cal Tamayo. Tamayo, who entered the KBL this season after passing the Japanese B League, is showing more power as he adjusts to the league. He is the best forward in the league.
On the other hand, Korean players are suffering from injuries and are struggling. Choi Joon-yong, Song Kyo-chang (hereinafter KCC), Kang Sang-jae, Kim Jong-kyu (DB), Huh Hoon (KCC), Lee Dae-sung (Samsung), Byun Joon-hyung (Jung Director), Lee Jung-hyun (Sono), Do Kyung-min and Jeon Sung-hyun (LG) are all missing or injured due to injuries. Of course, there are also domestic players such as Ahn Young-joon (SK), Yang Joon-seok (LG), Lee Woo-seok (Hyundai Mobis), Lee Seung-hyun (KCC), and Lee Jung-hyun (Samsung). However, there are too many injuries for high-paid players.
A domestic basketball expert said "Albano is a player with a class originally. Aside from this player, Bellangel's improvement and Samsung Gutang's strong performance are certainly impressive. In addition, Sono comes to Cambao and KT to Kagulangan. The Asian quarter of the Philippines can occupy the guard and forward. All the players in the Asian quarter of the Philippines who entered Korea have high potential and strong will to improve themselves.'
Another expert said that `domestic high-paying people are often injured. Of course, injuries can occur during games, but most of them can definitely reduce the likelihood of injuries depending on how you spend the offseason. The physical fight has gotten worse this season. If you play many roles in a situation where you are not properly prepared, you will inevitably increase the probability of injury. Now, without thorough preparation for the offseason, it is difficult for even a player with a high name value to survive in the KBL.
Another official made a significant statement. "It is true that there is a bubble in the FA of top domestic players." A strong foreign player and a top-notch Asian quarter can create a winning power. Combining this with solid 3&D type domestic players can sufficiently challenge to win the league. In other words, there could be an adjustment in the price of FA for top Korean players.
