The 2023 CBA draft conference will be held in Chengdu on the 15th. Although this year’s CBA draft is not called The Year of the draft, this year’s draft players, especially those from CUBAL, still have good quality and potential. Like Chen Guohao from Guangdong University of Technology, Zou Yang from Tsinghua University, Fang Jiachen, Guo Qifang from Central South University and so on, are all players with distinct characteristics and certain strength and talent. In recent years, CBA teams have also paid more and more attention to the draft. They hope to strengthen the lineup and improve the team’s strength through this important channel. For example, Beijing control men’s basketball completed the transaction with Ningbo team about the first prize signing just before this year’s draft. In this way, the Beijing control group will hold the first round signing of the first and third orders in men’s basketball. It can be seen that they hope to “have a big fight” at this year’s draft conference “.
Beijing control men’s basketball made a deal with Ningbo team on the 13th. They sent out two players, Ma Yong and Wang Junjie, and got the first prize of this year’s draft. As a result, Beijing control men’s basketball will hold the first and third rank in hand, and their choice of the draft this year has attracted great attention from the outside world. The outside world previously thought that Chen Guohao, the inside line of Guangdong University of Technology, and Zou Yang, the front line of Tsinghua University, were the most popular candidates for the top. According to some news I got, at present, Beijing control men’s basketball is more inclined to choose Chen Guohao. If the Beijing control men’s basketball really chose Chen Guohao with the champion sign, then their sufficient internal lineup will add another person. In addition, Beijing control men’s basketball also plans to use the No. 3 signature to select a defender, which is currently their weakest position.
Fang Jiachen, who also came from Tsinghua University with Zou Yang, served as a substitute for Wang Lanqin in the first four years of his five-year college career (Wang Lanqin was elected as the champion in 2022), this year, he seized the opportunity. He scored 12.7 points, 3.7 assists and 2.3 steals. Especially in the final, he scored 29 points and almost played superhero. Although he is only 1.82 meters tall, he has a promising development prospect. Some news shows that the Sichuan team holding the second sign may choose Fang Jiachen. The Sichuan team traded yuan Tangwen, the main defender, to Shanghai this summer, and they needed the No. 1 position to strengthen. Fang Jiachen is undoubtedly a more suitable candidate.
Guo Qifang, the scoring guard who performed well in the top 32 and the top 8, and helped Central South University return to the top four in the country two years later, will also be selected in the first round. “He should go to a good team, a team suitable for him. The coach can trust him and give him time to grow up. I feel that giving him 10 to 15 games should be able to adapt to CBA.” Bai Jiang, the chief basketball coach of Central South University and “Iron handsome”, said when talking about Guo Qifang, “he already has this ability now. It depends on his adaptation to the rhythm and confrontation of CBA games, after all, college basketball is completely different from CBA defense. He must adapt himself.”
Du Bochao of Xiamen University is also an excellent insider of this year’s draft. Du Bochao is 2 meters 08 tall and has an arm spread of 2 meters 12. He has a high talent and has been selected into the national second team training list, which is also an affirmation of his ability. This season, CUBAL scored 11.5 points and grabbed 7.5 rebounds. The high center with such shape and characteristics must also be the target of the CBA team.
It can be seen from this that this year’s players from CUBAL have the potential and prospect of training players without losing the youth training system, and they are also occupying the C position of this year’s draft conference. The outside world also hopes that CUBAL, a channel for transporting Chinese basketball talents, will become wider and better.
