There is a high probability that he will lose the election! The exposure and draft prospects are not as good as Yang Hansen, and the two reasons left Lin Wei unwilling to be concerned about it

The NBA Draft will be held in Brooklyn, New York next month, and it is likely that the face of a Chinese player will be welcomed. He is Yang Hansen, who performed well in the joint trial in Chicago. Recently, many authoritative American media mock drafts, Yang Hansen was able to be selected in the second round, and several media mocked him to enter the first round, but another "low-key" Lin Wei, who wants to be called at this year's draft, is not so optimistic.

As the most promising local guard in the CBA in the past two years, Lin Wei has performed better and better in the CBA in these three seasons. Under the policy of 7 foreign players in 4 quarters, this season, he not only did not let his data decline, but also scored the best 21 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5 assists in his career. He is the only local player to score more than 20. Not long ago, he signed with Mike Miller's LIFT Sports agency, but compared to Yang Hansen, he signed with Paul Ricci, who was directly represented by Paul Ricci, while Paul Lin Wei is much inferior.

, and Lin Wei's current draft market is not ideal, there may be two reasons. The first reason is that last year's NBA Summer League, when Guo Shiqiang did not bring potential defenders such as Lin Wei and Zhao Weilun, but instead found a bunch of 26- or 7-year-old mid-zoo players, such as Cheng Shuipeng and Gao Shiyan, who have no potential to dig and have a set style, all followed the Chinese men's basketball team to the United States. Playing in the NBA Summer League, and missing such an opportunity also made the scouts on the US side not have the opportunity to observe Lin Wei. Not long ago, an NBA scout said that his deep impression of Yang Hansen was from the previous World Youth Championship and last year's Summer League. If Lin Wei could represent the Chinese men's basketball team and perform well in the summer league at that time, it would not have been impossible for him to even get into the joint trial in the G League this year.

Not long ago, Lin Wei's Chinese agency reported that Lin Wei's shooting ability has been recognized by many scouts. After completing the Italian training camp, he will return to the United States to conduct a separate trial for NBA teams. In other words, the United States is relatively unfamiliar with Lin Wei. Because the CBA lacks attention there, they cannot understand that the Chinese men's basketball team will have such a "natural jade" ignored by the national team.

And another reason may also be related to Lin Wei's "poaching" in January. Previously, Lin Wei's Chinese brokerage company Oshida Sports was the "meanor" of Yang Hansen's signing of Rich Paul's brokerage company this year. But not long after, another Chinese brokerage company Elite Legend Sports officially announced the signing of Lin Wei. However, this brokerage company that was previously exposed by Feng Lai was obviously not as good as Oshida in terms of operation methods. In the end, Lin Wei only signed the LIFT Sports brokerage company that Mike Miller had just founded. The company's biggest brands are new stars like Morant and Ban Kairo who have just started their careers, and they cannot get better resources for Lin Wei, which has also led to Lin Wei's exposure being seriously inferior to Yang Hansen. So if Lin Wei really loses the election this time, don't think it's strange.
