The NBA Development League has announced a list of 99 players who have successfully signed up for the Development League Draft. It is worth noting that China's young general Li Hongquan is on the list. He will compete with two big-name foreign players who have played in the CBA league, Lance Stephenson and Joseph Young, for the opportunity to play in the development league.
A total of 28 teams will be in the upcoming Development League Draft. According to the rules, the draft will be played in a total of three rounds, with each team having three chances to choose. It also means that theoretically up to 84 additional players can be selected. However, from last year's situation, because most NBA teams have signed many players for their subordinate teams in the development league through the first cut and then sign, many teams will directly choose to abstain in the third round or even the second round. The number of players actually selected may be less than half the actual number of draft picks. In the end, only about 40 players will enter the development league through the draft.
Then the question also comes, does China's young player Li Hongquan have the opportunity to enter the NBA Development League through the draft conference? First of all, to give the conclusion, I think that the probability of Li Hongquan being selected will not be too high, and the probability will eventually fail.
Let's take a look at Lee Hong-kuen's personal data at the NCAA. Last season, Li Hongquan made a total of 12 appearances for Lehigh University, averaging 12.1 minutes per game, contributing 4 points and 2.1 rebounds, and was only a not-so-remarkable role player on the team. More importantly, Lehigh University can only be regarded as a weak team in recent years, and the winning rate of the team last season was even less than 30%. Only CJ McCollum has been selected in the NBA Draft in the history of the team.
So what level of players is Li Hongquan's opponent in the draft? Stephenson and Young, the two CBA big-name foreign players, we will not say more, both are CBA scoring maniacs, especially Stephenson, who has had a series of brilliant moments in the NBA. As for the other players, I immediately drew three from the list.
Ben Li

Random example 3:
Ron Artest III
Date of birth: April 1999
Height: 201cm
Weight: 97kg
Position: Small forward
NBA Draft: Rookie class of 2022
Last NCAA season stats (2020-21): 4.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists

Note: He is the son of former NBA player Ron Artest.
Judging from the situation of the three players randomly selected above, most of the participating players performed much better in the NCAA than Li Hongquan, and those players who performed on the NCAA and Li Hongquan were equal to or even worse than Li Hongquan, and it is estimated that they are "related households". For example, Artest's son, such as Wade's son, this is the case. Unless there is an accident, or if there is a team out of non-technical considerations, it is basically difficult for Lee Hongquan to be selected in the next draft.
