With the CBA about to enter the offseason, the NBL league will officially start in the middle of next month, and every team is actively recruiting to strengthen the roster. Anhui Wenyi, as the defending champion last season, once again introduced the inside killer Dakari Johnson this season, and the club officially announced: "In order to better prepare for the 2024 NBL league season and strengthen the offensive and defensive strength of the inside, Anhui Wenyi officially signed Dakari Johnson after careful research." Johnson is already an old acquaintance of Anhui Wenyi, who has won two NBL championships on behalf of the team, and is an out-and-out inside killer, and Johnson will lead the team to attack the championship again in the new season.
Last season, Johnson played in 19 games for Anhui Wenyi, averaging 21.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 59.3% from the field. In the NBL arena, the 2.13-meter-tall Johnson is the inside killer, he has solid basket skills, and his back-to-back singles ability is also very strong, plus Johnson is moving faster and faster, and his frame protection and rebounding performance have also become better. In the finals last season, due to the G1 strike in the finals of Shaanxi Xinda Club, the follow-up games of the finals were cancelled, and the Anhui Wenyi men's basketball team can be said to win the championship. More importantly, the Shaanxi Xinda men's basketball team is likely to miss this season's NBL league due to poor operation, and the Anhui Wenyi men's basketball team is very likely to win the championship.
After playing in the NBL last season, Johnson also played for the CBA Qingdao men's basketball team, briefly playing 11 games for the team, averaging 5.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 10.5 minutes per game. Because Johnson's movement speed could not meet the on-court tactical requirements of Liu Weiwei's guidance, he was also laid off early, but the new season CBA is likely to implement four quarters of six foreign aid, which is very helpful for Johnson to return to the CBA arena, as long as he can play a wonderful performance in the NBL arena, I believe that there will be CBA teams to throw an olive branch to him.
Anhui Wenyi men's basketball team has always been the favorite team to compete for the championship in the NBL league, and the offseason is also a large recruitment of CBA abandoned players, such as Tang Jie, Zheng Qilong and other players are playing in Anhui Wenyi men's basketball team, the new season, in addition to super foreign aid Johnson, I believe there will be super foreign aid to join the team, Anhui Wenyi men's basketball team's goal is to win the championship.
