On May 1, Beijing time, according to the US media reports, Chinese player Zeng Fanbo officially received an invitation to chicago joint trial training, the time is the 18-20th of this month, with a number of big names to select popular players, the opportunity to train together, involving the summer impact on the NBA topic, will be a very important opportunity for Zeng Fanbo. For the gold content of this training camp, in fact, the brokerage team and the NBA team jointly voted to decide, that is, Zeng Fanbo has the possibility of entering the selection, last year's Guo Haowen although also came to the United States to train, but did not get recognized into the joint trial list, if Zeng Fanbo's performance meets expectations, it will get more NBA team attention.
In fact, Zeng Fanbo's performance in the G League, although the ups and downs are large, but the youngest level, the acceptable range, after all, igniting a large number of resources and playing time of the team, the tactical status is not on Zeng Fanbo, he can follow the team to train, get a certain opportunity, it is relatively not easy. Considering that most of his teammates are first-round players predicted by the NBA Draft, there are more top five level hits.
The most realistic goal of Zeng Fanbo is to be selected as a second-round show in this year's draft. This is also in line with his current plan.
Why say so, this year's NBA draft is in the past few years, the draft is not compromised in the small year, due to the epidemic and many factors, many NCAA players have decided to stay, coupled with the relatively small number of European players, and the Australian NBL League, should have been one of the main talent pools, but a large number of young players choose to stay in Australia to play, waiting for the best opportunity, before impacting the NBA draft.
In this regard, involving some players of the right age, this is a relatively good opportunity, like Zeng Fanbo's level of forward players, as long as the physical state and confrontation, to achieve a relatively high expected efficiency, the chance of selection is relatively large.
Zeng Fanbo's advantage is that he is 2 meters 08 tall, can hold the ball, can shoot three-point shots, excellent athleticism, explosiveness and speed, standing at the level of Asian players, almost reaching the ceiling level, is currently only 19 years old, and there is still huge potential and space to explore. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, there are more injuries, many time periods, ankles are more likely to sprain, which is also an important factor in his inability to stabilize the playing time in the G League, if he enters the NBA level confrontation, whether he can overcome the hidden dangers of injuries, there is a lot of uncertainty.
For the level of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zeng Fanbo is also the closest player to the NBA among the current batch of young players, and this kind of long-term playing in the United States and the seedlings given by the Chinese Basketball Association with a large number of resources are very worthy of the expectations and attention of the outside world.
