On December 14, Beijing time, the CBA officially updated the registration information of foreign aid, and the Shanghai men's basketball team completed the registration for the big foreign aid Feng Lai. The former NBA insider will also make his first appearance in the CBA in the second phase of the regular season.
Vonle is 26 years old and 2.08 meters tall, and can play both the big forward and the center. He was the No. 9 pick of the 2014 NBA Draft and has played professionally for the Hornets, Trail Blazers, Bulls, Knicks, Timberwolves, Nuggets and Nets. Last season, he played four games for the Nets, averaging 2.8 minutes per game, once pairing up with the "Big Three" Durant, Harden and Irving, but was eventually cut.
In the NBA, Vonle never cashed in on his talent, averaging only 4.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. In his best season, he averaged 8.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
Shanghai already used foreign aid Franklin in the first phase of the CBA regular season, and they were also one of the very few teams to use foreign aid in the first phase. In the operation of Von Lai, the Shanghai team is also very early, and it is only now that the registration is completed.
The shanghai team's internal line this season mainly relies on Wang Zhelin, but in addition to Wang Zhelin, the strength of other internal lines is relatively average. Although VonLe has performed dismal in the NBA, if he can adapt to the rhythm of the CBA, the former NBA insider can still help Shanghai and enhance the team's internal strength.
In the first stage of the CBA regular season, Shanghai ranked 5th with 10 wins and 3 losses, under the leadership of Li Chunjiang, Shanghai made significant progress, once playing an outstanding performance against the Guangdong team led by Du Feng, and also defeated the Zhejiang team led by Wu Qian.
But this summer continues to introduce Wang Zhelin and other domestic aid, and now it has made a big move in foreign aid, believing that Shanghai's goal is not only the playoffs, but the impact of the championship.
