The only player in the Chinese men's basketball team to hit the NBA, Cui Yongxi, has bad news, he failed to make the joint tryout roster and will miss the NBA draft. However, Guo Shiqiang's beloved disciple still received good news, and he is expected to join forces with Guo Allen in the future to impact the CBA championship.
On May 13, the NBA officially announced the list of G-League elite training camps selected for joint tryouts, and unfortunately, the only player from the Chinese men's basketball team, Cui Yongxi, was not selected.
According to the latest rules on the NBA side, starting in 2024, all rookie players who are invited must participate in all programs of the NBA joint tryout, otherwise they will not be eligible to be selected.
In other words, the absence of Choi Yong-hee in the list means that he will not be eligible for the NBA draft.
This is sad news.
In fact, Choi Yong-hee previously trained in Orlando, and then came to Chicago and participated in the G-League elite training camp. On the first game day, Choi Yong-hee came off the bench and played 12 minutes, shooting 2-of-4 and 1-of-2 three-pointers, scoring 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals and 1 block.
On the second game day, Choi Yong-hee got another chance to play, he played 18 minutes and 04 seconds, and the result was 2 of 7 shots, 0 of 4 three-point shots, only 4 points, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 5 fouls, plus or minus +7.
Judging from the performance of these 2 games, Cui Yongxi is not the most eye-catching one, and even said that in addition to showing a certain high level on the defensive end, there are not many highlights on the offensive end, especially outside projection, only 1 of 6 shots, I am afraid it is difficult to impress the NBA team.
So, not being able to participate in the G League elite training camp and the NBA draft does it mean that Choi Yong-hee has lost the opportunity to impact the NBA? The answer is no.
According to draft expert Wang Jian, Choi Yong-hee has received offers from some teams and will go to the invited teams for a tryout to fight for the opportunity to participate in the summer league. If he can get the opportunity to participate in the summer league, even if he misses the NBA in the end, it will be a great improvement for Choi Yongxi personally.
Of course, even Choi Yong-hee will not get the opportunity to participate in the summer league in the end, I believe that through this summer's efforts, he can improve his personal cognition and understanding of basketball, and after returning to the CBA league, this young man may be able to open up and play more thoroughly.
And once the impact on the NBA fails, then Cui Yongxi will return to play in the Guangzhou men's basketball team, continue to compete in the CBA, and impact the CBA's good results.
Judging from the current news, Cui Yongxi's team is the Guangzhou team, the coach of the Guangzhou men's basketball team is Guo Shiqiang, Guo Shiqiang is Guo Allen's uncle, and Guo Allen's 2-year Class D contract in the Liaoning men's basketball team expires this summer. According to Guo Allen's character, there is a high probability that he will make a sound of leaving the team again.
Considering the relationship between Guo Allen and Guo Shiqiang, coupled with the fact that the Guangzhou team has improved by leaps and bounds under the leadership of Guo Shiqiang in recent years, we cannot rule out the possibility of Guo Allen joining. If Allen Guo comes and joins forces with Cui Yongxi, then there will definitely be a possibility for the Guangzhou team to reach the finals, and maybe they can also impact the championship, what do you say?
