LG rookie Yoo Yu-sang (23, 188 cm) made a soft landing on the professional stage.
He is performing better than expected not only in attack but also in defense.
Yoo Yoo-sang is a promising shooter who will lead LG. LG coach Cho Sang-hyeon, a former shooter, is also seeing the positive side of ‘Shooter’ Yu Yoo-sang.
LG obtained the lucky 3rd place pick in the 2023 KBL rookie draft. And Yoo Ki-sang, a shooter from Yonsei University, was nominated in third place.
Coach Cho Sang-hyun thought that Yoo Ki-sang’s professional debut was a long way off during training camp in the Philippines. 카지노사이트
However, as he quickly adapts to the team’s defense, Yugi-sang is being used as the team’s main force.
Coach Cho said, “Yoo Ki-sang is playing defense better than expected. He blocks the opposing aces to some extent and he is a great help to the team,”
he said. Yoo Sang-sang is playing an average of 22 minutes and 4 seconds per game in 30 games, recording 7.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.8 steals.
Even though his scoring average is low, he is making 1.7 3-pointers per game.
The 3-point shooting success rate is also 39.4%. In the game against KCC on the 19th, he played a key role in the team’s victory with 14 points, including 4 3-pointers.
Yoo Yu-sang is also contributing to breaking down the opponent’s defense by throwing 3-pointers on offense. Coach Cho said, “(Yoo) Ki-sang is a pure No. 2 (shooting guard),
which is rare these days. “He knows how to throw a shot,” he said, praising, “Moving diligently and finding empty spots are the virtues of a shooter, and he is showing good performance.”
Coach Cho said, “Kisang is working hard on defense, and I think he will play his part as a shooter later.
He expressed his expectations, saying, “Considering that he is doing so well in offense and defense in his first season as a professional, his mentality must be good.” iaspire@sportsseoul.com
