On May 5, Beijing time, there is still more than a month to go before the NBA Draft, but the rookies everywhere are still working hard for the final sprint. At this year's NBA draft, there will be a number of Chinese players. It is reported that the famous basketball expert Wang Jian revealed that the Chinese team will have 4 players qualified. However, as a talented striker of the Liaoning team, Zhang Zhenlin is not in the big list.
According to the current rules of the NBA Draft, Wang Jian gave the Asian players who can automatically participate in this year's NBA Draft. Four of them are from China and the other is a Filipino player. The four players who won the automatic candidacy of the Chinese team are Zeng Fanbo, Yu Jiahao, Guo Haowen and Wang Yixiong, of these 4 people, in addition to Zeng Fanbo, the other three have all played in the CBA League, and Wang Yixiong is also the CBA's First Talent Show.
Among these 4 people, Zeng Fanbo and Yu Jiahao both competed in the professional league for one year after graduating from high school, while Guo Haowen was over 22 years old and automatically qualified for the election. Wang Yixiong left school early but did not apply for a draft and 1 year of professional league experience. All four are players eligible for the 2022 NBA Draft.
However, there is another person who is also preparing to storm the NBA this year, but has not automatically won the roster. After helping the Liaoning team win the championship this year, Zhang Zhenlin also expressed his intention to go overseas to develop. At present, he has decided to hone in the NBA Development League in an attempt to impact the NBA.
Of course, regardless of whether these 5 players can eventually be selected by NBA teams, for the Chinese basketball world, it is a great success to have young players stand up and impact the NBA.
