Failure to be elected is expected! If Lin Wei fails to pursue his dream in the NBA, it is not impossible to enter the Australian NBL

In this NBA draft, Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers as the 16th pick in the first round (the Grizzlies selected and then traded them to the Trail Blazers) which gave everyone a great surprise. This made everyone almost forget that Lin Wei, who also ran this year, was automatically qualified for the election, so Lin Wei did not need to register, but neither his mother team Tongxi Men's Basketball Team nor his Chinese and American agency companies he was in paid much attention to this draft, so it was indeed expected that Lin Wei would lose the election in the end.

Although Lin Wei participated in the Mavericks' trial before, considering that the Mavericks only have one No. 1 pick this year, it is naturally impossible to use him to choose Lin Wei. After no news of Lin Wei continuing to try out other teams, he lost the election this time. If he wanted to knock on the NBA door this year, he might have to pass the Summer League. According to domestic media reports recently, Lin Wei will participate in the G League international player draft next. At that time, he will determine which team he will represent in the summer league based on the draft results. In any case, playing in the summer league is Lin Wei's current primary goal.

Before Lin Wei's draft, there were news that some teams in the Australian NBL League were interested in him, including Melbourne United. However, according to media person StarXIA Australian Basketball, Lin Wei's signing of Melbourne United was rejected after discussion by the coaching staff. First, through Adidas Training Camp and CBA League, Lin Wei's defensive ability is considered to be not up to the NBL average, and second, the team is looking for the conflict with Lin Wei's small foreign attributes. However, Lin Wei's potential next home still includes Melbourne Phoenix, Brisbane Bullets, and Kans Grand Team. For Lin Wei, since he stepped out of the comfort zone of CBA this time, he would not return to China in a short period of time. If he fails to reach the NBA this time, Lin Wei's next stop is likely to go to the Australian NBL League to make a move.

Although Lin Wei was unfortunately out of the election this time, in terms of his ability, there should be no big problem in finding a team to play the summer league game. However, Cui Yongxi and Watanabe Yuta actually entered the official stage of the NBA through the summer league stage. Although defenders like Lin Wei have scored a lot in the United States, as long as there is a chance in front of him, he should still actively seize them. After all, the NBA is not without Asian defenders. Last season, Yuki Kawamura, who is less than 1.8 meters tall, played many games for the Grizzlies.

For Lin Wei, the next step should be to put the NBA first, but his team should also make plans for both. If the NBA road does not work, the Australian NBL League is actually a good choice without returning to the CBA. After all, the attention paid by the United States there is definitely much higher than these Asian leagues. If Lin Wei can really make a name for himself in the NBL League, there will be a chance to knock on the NBA's door in the future. In short, for Lin Wei, since he chose to step out of the comfort zone of CBA, he must also be prepared to "be strong after thousands of blows, no matter how strong the wind is, the east, west, south and north are windy."
