"I know the value of Kim Xion well."
Bucheon Hana One Q conducted a pick trade ahead of the 2023-24 WKBL new player selection held at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 4th. Busan BNK was given the right to nominate in the first round (2nd place) and the right to nominate in the first round of the 2025-26 new player selection, and Kim Si-on was obtained.
Kim Xion was named second overall after Jihyun Shin in the 2014 WKBL New Player Selection. She was considered one of the prospects of Korean women's basketball and participated in the 2014 FIBA Turkiye Women's Basketball World Cup.
He rarely broke an egg in the professional game. However, he played in all 30 games in the 2022-23 season, recording 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in an average of 21 minutes and 29 seconds, leading BNK to runner-up in the championship game as a key six-man.
Hana One Q coach Kim Do-wan said, "There is a gap in the guard position as (Kim) Ji-young moved." In addition, watching through the Park Shin-ja Cup, he decided that he needed a player who could replace Anna when she was out. "I made the decision after much consideration," he said.
This is a result that can be sufficiently knocked on the calculator. Analysts say that this year's preliminary rookies are somewhat less competitive than in the past. Hana One Q, which already has many young and promising players, needed more experienced players to lead them.
However, Hana One Q made a big mistake under Lee Hoon-jae's system in the past. There was no income of just 1% in the triangular trade with BNK and Samsung Life Insurance. Rather, Kang Yu-rim was given up, Lee Hae-ran was placed, and Koo Seul, who tried hard to recruit, left the team early.
a situation in which there is bound to be a trauma. However, coach Kim also knew about this and was worried about it. "I'm well aware of the past," he said. Still, there are many players who will see the future and grow, but there were not many resources to show their performance without much difference from the main players. Still, I had a lot of worries and discussed it with the general manager for a long time. Still, I had to make a final choice and things went well," he explained.
Kim Xion is definitely a valuable player. He has good physical conditions and a high understanding of the guard position. Head coach Kim also thought highly of this part. He said, "There were many players who left the team who did bad things. It is also true that the previous height has decreased. Kim Xion can fill all of this part. "We decided that he will meet all the conditions we want, including offense, defense, physical conditions, and the role we can play as a guard," he trusted. 스포츠토토
"Our team is not a team that only looks at offense, defense, and defense when it comes to offense. I needed to balance it, so I needed Kim Si-on. It's good to look at the long-term vision, but I wanted it to be balanced. I believe he will do well," he said, wrapping up the interview.
