Two days ago, the CBA officially released the "2021-2022 CBA League Domestic Players Basic Information White Paper", and the discussion on this "White Paper" was very warm. Many fans are paying attention to the origin of CBA local players and the transportation of players in the youth training of various clubs, but the situation of CUBA players entering the CBA league is also very interesting.
According to the statistics of the "White Paper", in the 2021-2022 CBA League, 20 professional clubs registered a total of 391 domestic players, and the majority of players in the club's youth training, but the number of players entering the CBA through the draft is increasing.
Among them, the proportion of CUBA players is rising, which is rapidly increasing the attention of CBA teams, and the responsibilities of these CUBA players in CBA teams are also getting heavier.
Since 2005, CUBA has sent a total of 63 players to the CBA. Since the official implementation of the 2015 CBA Draft, the number of CUBA players entering the CBA League through the draft has almost increased every season: 7 CUBA players were selected at the 2019 Draft, 11 CUBA players entered the CBA at the 2020 Draft, and as many as 17 selected CBA rookies from CUBA in the 2021 Draft.
As of this season, CUBA has sent players with an average of 3.1 seasons in the CBA, of which the longest time is Liaoning center Han Dejun, who has played 15 seasons since he first registered for the CBA league in 2007-08.
There is no doubt that CUBA players are becoming an important force that cannot be ignored in the CBA league, in addition to the aforementioned Han Dejun, the new generation of Guo Kai, Zhu Mingzhen, Wang Shaojie, Wan Shengwei, Zhao Baiqing, Yuan Tangwen, Zhang Ning, Zhu Songwei and Li Yiyang are important rotation and even starting forces of their respective CBA teams.
Cuba can develop better and better, inseparable from the support and deep cultivation of the official Ali Sports. Over the years, Alibaba Sports has fully supported the operation, development and promotion of CUBA, and spared no effort in the promotion of all platforms and multiple dimensions. By recommending CUBA events to fans better and introducing CUBA players to everyone more comprehensively, Ali Sports has made great contributions to the development of China's college basketball career.
Efforts to gradually reap the fruits of this year's CBA's White Paper are reflected. Based on this fact, Ali Sports is also more confident and said that it will "continue to deepen campus sports" in the future.
