Why is Lin Wei unattended in the draft?

9:53am, 30 June 2025Basketball

NBA draft ended, and Chinese players Yang Hansen and Lin Wei both participated in the draft. On the first day, Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers in the 16th pick, becoming the third Chinese player to be selected in the first round after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. However, another Chinese player, Lin Wei, was defeated in the second round draft.

Lin Wei is the CBA scoring champion, averaging 21 points per game. However, he lost the national team many times and did not fall into the eyes of coach Guo Shiqiang. Many fans expressed their grievances for Lin Wei, hoping that he would be selected for the draft this time, and look forward to slapping Guo Shiqiang in the face. But Lin Wei's fans were disappointed, and in the end, no one was interested in Lin Wei's talent show. Not only that, he also suffered a double blow. It turns out that the appointment was also broken if he signed with the NBL Melbourne United once he was not selected. After the Melbourne United coaching team discussed, Lin Wei was rejected.

How to say Lin Wei, it is good to dare to participate in the draft, but it is a bit too overestimated. Look at his data. His three-point shooting percentage in the regular season is only 36%, and his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs is 26%. His performance was even worse when he went to Adidas training camp before, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 20%, and a total shooting percentage of more than 30%. With the intensity, it's much worse. Lin Wei mainly shoots a lot in the CBA Tongxi team and shoots more three-pointers, but the shooting rate is really not satisfactory. He dares to participate in the NBA draft with a three-point shooting rate of about 20%. It can only be said that Lin Wei overestimates himself.

Lin Wei is not good at taking action except for dare to take action. He is short, has no defense, and is not good at organization. He can only play in the No. 2 position, but his shooting rate is low, so it is not surprising that he loses in the draft. Media person @StarXia explained the reason why Lin Wei lost the NBA and broke her appointment by Melbourne United, mainly because Lin Wei's defensive ability is too poor and has not reached the NBL average. He said this, "From the recent Adidas training camp games and CBA league games, the defensive ability is considered to be not at the NBL average. Is there anyone who is still speaking up for Lin Wei not to enter the national team? It seems that Lin Wei still has to train hard and overcome his shortcomings in order to realize his basketball dream.
