I thought Mongolia was all horseback archery, I didn't think they were in basketball, now there are talents...
According to ESPN, dayton University, which belongs to the NCAA, has provided a full scholarship to young general Michael Sharavjamts (michael), and the two sides have reached a franchise agreement.
The latter will appear as a freshman next season in the Professional Basketball Arena of the United States.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first player in Mongolian history to receive an NCAA scholarship.
And Michael is also another Asian player named a four-star high school student after Zeng Fanbo.
Unlike Hachimura and Clarkson, who are of mixed blood, Michael is of pure Asian blood.
Born in 2002, he is 19 years old, 2 meters 03 tall and weighs 82 kilograms.
Despite his forward stature, Michael plays as a point guard on the court.
After The University of Dayton signed him, a press conference made it clear that it would see him as the core of the team next season.
The original words are as follows:
Whether as a big point guard or a defender, his vision on the court and his basketball instincts are obvious.
"We will help him continue to exercise and help him become a star player in the division".
Michael's real name in the U.S. was the previous Flyin' to the Hoop Invitational in December.
In one of those games, he shot 8-of-11 and scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
Skilled basic skills, movement speed above the level, high ball quotient, excellent intuition, so that Michael quickly gained a lot of popularity.
Scout Derek Murray bluntly said that he is the most underrated recruit of the same year, and ESPN has raised his original three-star high school student status to a four-star player.
In the latest edition of the 2020 Top 100 High School Players List, Michael is even stronger in the top 100 (goalkeeper).
In Asia, this is already a remarkable achievement.
Let's return to a very real question and discuss it.
Michael, is there any potential to break into the NBA?
At present, the probability is not possible, but after all, it is only 19 years old, still young, and the future is uncertain.
His disadvantages are obvious, his figure is too thin, visually, thinner than Zeng Fanbo.
The advantage is that he can play the ball forward, have a good passing vision, have a high ball dealer, and have a precise projection ability.
During his time at Flyin' to the Hoop, Michael shot nearly 60 percent from the field, over 40 percent from three-point range, and averaged around seven assists per game.
Thin can not directly veto a player's future, with the Thunder's Pokushevsky as a reference, 2 meters 13 height and 86 kilograms of weight, played in the NBA for two years, the average playing time reached 20.2 minutes, why?
Because there is a passing field of vision and projection ability that does not match the height.
After entering the NCAA, weight gain is inevitable, so theoretically, Michael has room to continue to grow.
Four-star players, if they can stabilize the projection, can actually try to impact the second round.
This kind of forward figure that can hold the ball, shoot the basket, and pass the control, the Chinese men's basketball team is too hungry...
