On the 14th, the American Development League Ignition team lost to the Santa Cruz Warriors 107-110. In this game, Zeng Fanbo got 37 minutes of playing time, and he scored 17 points on 6-of-9 shooting, which was the longest and highest scoring game since he joined the Ignition team. And this is also Zeng Van Bo's last game of the season in the Ignition team. Next, Zeng Fanbo will continue to stay in the United States for special training and trial training, planning to participate in this year's NBA draft, hoping to knock on the door of the NBA.
Zeng Fanbo joined the Ignition team this season, and he hopes to get more exercise opportunities in the development league and accelerate growth. The Development League has always been a key place for NBA teams to examine and select teams. Zeng Fanbo hopes to get more attention from the NBA by playing more games in the development league.
But Zeng Fanbo's overall performance in the development league this season has not been ideal. He averaged 13 minutes of playing time per game, averaging 3.8 points per game and shooting just 36.4 percent from the field. Objectively speaking, such data and performance is difficult to impress NBA teams. At the same time, Zeng Fanbo has been adversely affected by injuries several times this season, which may also affect the NBA team's assessment of his prospects.
But Zeng Fanbo also has his own advantages, he is very young, only 19 years old, with strong plasticity. At the same time, Zeng Fanbo's physical condition and talent are also outstanding. Zeng Fanbo's efforts and investment on the defensive end may also be an aspect that attracts the attention of some NBA teams. In addition, the Chinese market behind Zeng Fanbo will also allow him to get more attention. The most prominent performance in this regard is that Zeng Fanbo had previously been invited to the NBA All-Star Weekend Fun Shooting Challenge, but unfortunately he was absent due to injury.
After the end of the development league season, Zeng Fanbo will continue to train in the United States and try out with NBA teams. In the case of a season performance that is not ideal, he can only impress the NBA team by showing his characteristics and talents during the trial. At the same time, the operational ability of the brokerage team behind Zeng Fanbo will also be an important factor in determining his development prospects.
