The 2021 CBA draft is known as the big year of the draft, and this season there are also several super newcomers entering the league, so they pay special attention to the performance of the newcomers next season, so they select the best rookies in their minds, the first and second teams, and hope that the newcomers can have better performances.
Best Rookie First Team:
PG: Liao Sanning, a super newcomer to Beijing Enterprises, sent away Prince Rui in order to make room for him, and he also proved with his performance that he was worth it! He played 13 games and started 13 games, averaging 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 29.9 minutes. Under Lao Ma, he is happy, Liao Sanning commented on Lao Ma, "Whether in training or privately, Coach Ma selflessly imparted his skills and experience to me, and often communicated with me on WeChat after the training, pointing out my shortcomings." He said to me, 'Be confident, since you are a newcomer, you must first start from defense when playing, and work hard to defend in order to do a good job of offense.' I think the old horse never hides, unreservedly even teaches me technique by hand, which benefits me a lot, and he deserves to be a all-star player in the MLB basketball. "Liao Sanning's arms are outstanding, his left and right hands are balanced, and his defensive pressure is not small, and in the North Control, which is short of Positions 1 and 2, Liao Sanning is expected to continue to grow."
SG: Li Tianrong, a violent defender in Shanghai, can have such a playing time in Shanghai, which is as strong as a cloud, which shows its strength. He has played 12 games this season, averaging 11.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and an excellent 45.8% three-point shooting rate and 63.8% shooting rate, and the effective shooting rate is 69.7% of the league's fourth,7% shooting rate, and the top three are all inside. Li Tianrong is very aggressive and fast at both ends of the attack and defense, although the height is somewhat disadvantaged, but if he can maintain the existing three-point shooting rate, it will greatly increase his threat, and he will definitely be a sharp weapon for the Shanghai bench to break the norm.
SF: Sun Rongxiao, the NBL's homegrown leading scorer, has previously registered in Shenzhen, but this is indeed his CBA first season. Sun Rongxiao previously played for the NBL Wuhan Contemporary Team and was the team's main scorer. He played 27 games in his two seasons in Wuhan, averaging 28.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. This season, he played 12 games, averaging 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.1 minutes per game. After all, he has played in the professional league, Sun Rongxiao's adaptability is not bad, he was hesitant to attack at the beginning, and after using a few games, he also began to dare to do the action, the defense is good, the shooting can be done, but the ball is somewhat not enough, but it is acceptable as a front. The current Tongxi belongs to the framework of large-scale trial training of future teams, and the personnel mobility is large, and it is possible to seize the opportunity to stand firm in the CBA.
PF: Zhao Baiqing, like Sun Rongxiao, comes from Tongxi. He played 12 games in the first stage of the season, averaging 31.1 minutes per game, 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 51.6 percent shooting. There is no doubt that he will be a good CBA-level player, sitting in front of the team's main position in the first season. There are three-point projection ability, rebounding and defense, supplementary defense can also be, with high-level strategy ability, like empty cutting, can be used as a modern basketball space type four position, in the shortage of personnel tongxi, he will have a lot of opportunities, now to do, is to improve the stability of shooting, and maintain health.
C: Yu Jiahao, a perfect fit with Zhejiang, was selected for the national training team before entering the CBA, and he is the first center of Chinese basketball in the future. Height 221cm, weight 130KG, arm span 226cm, excellent physical condition, although only 18 years old, but he is very strong, low position basic skills are solid, this season played 13 games, averaging 27.7 minutes of playing time, averaging 13.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.3 blocks, 59.6% shooting percentage. After training in Sierra Canyon High School, he also competed in a large number of events such as youth leagues and national games after returning to China. Years of accumulation of events, let him accumulate a lot of game experience, good defensive habits, transfer the ball and read the defense is very strong, excellent defense, as a center, foul control is also very good. Although there are fewer means on the offensive end, the 18-year-old 2-meter 21 big center, what bicycle, in the future, more opportunities to practice.
Best Rookie Second Team:
PG: Li Yiyang, Fujian's expected backcourt commander, played in 13 games, averaging 9.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.4 steals in 28.8 minutes per game; if it were not for Liao Sanning, he would be the best point guard, and he is now a scarce quality traditional point guard.
SG: Cui Xiaolong, one of the former Henan troikas, has also played well in Jiangsu this season, playing in 13 games, averaging 9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.4 steals in 24.7 minutes per game. Under Li Nan, I can only say, behave well.
SF: Jia Hao, another person of Henan 99 Sanjie, has left the Shanxi front line all this season, giving Jia Hao a lot of opportunities, and Jia Hao has also given a good performance, playing in 13 games, averaging 21.3 minutes per game, scoring 5.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. Although the data is not outstanding, excellent shooting ability and defensive ability are enough to get a lot of opportunities in Shanxi.
PF: Zhang Dianliang, the rebuilt Sichuan has given the newcomers enough performance opportunities this season, of course, as a newcomer, you also have to seize the opportunity, Zhang Dianliang grasped it. The 201-tall No. 4 position, or the 5-to-4 no. 4 position after the CBA weight loss, averaged 26.1 minutes, 9.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 39.1% three-point shooting. Not necessarily, but based on the CBA, enough!
C: Liu Dong, in fact, Zhang Mingchi in Guangdong is still good, but the body side has not passed, and there are too few games. In fact, Liu Dong's performance is still very unexpected, playing 12 games, averaging 21.2 minutes of playing time per game, can score 8.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 blocks. He is an older draft player himself, and thinks it is difficult for him to adapt to the CBA due to insufficient confrontation, but he does play a good performance.
These people, some will be the guarantee of the upper limit of the future men's basketball team, some will be the guarantee of the lower limit of the CBA, in any case, they are the cornerstone of the way forward in Chinese basketball, the cornerstone is stable enough, the CBA selection range is wider, and the upper limit of the national team will be higher.
