Jeonju KCC embraced FA Choi Jun-yong (29). It is a surprise recruitment. Successfully formed the terrifying ‘Super Luxurious Corps’. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire team is the national team.
On the 21st, KCC said, “We recruited free agent (FA) Choi Jun-yong for a contract period of 5 years and a total fee of 600 million won (annual salary of 420 million won, incentive of 180 million won).” We have reinforced both height and scoring ability, and the balance of offense and defense is expected to add a sense of stability.”
Choi Jun-yong is a superstar representing the league. It was also considered the biggest word in the FA market this time. He was nominated by Seoul SK as the second overall pick in the 2016 KBL rookie draft, and played 7 seasons in SK alone.
He played in 255 career games over seven seasons, averaging 29 minutes and 56 seconds, 10.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals. He has a splendid award history, including two career champion championship wins (2017-2018 season, 2021-2022 season), one regular league MVP, and one best 5.
In the 2021-2022 season, he played all 54 games and made 16.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.8 steals, and became the regular league MVP. In the championship match, he led the team to the overall victory by exploding an average of 19.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 5 games.
In the 2022-2023 season, he only played 26 games due to injuries, but showed off his strength when on the court by making 12.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists. In addition to his outstanding skills, he is also equipped with the boldness that does not hesitate to provoke. Bouncing words and actions are a bonus. As a franchise star of SK, he became one of the best stars in the league.
After the 2022-2023 season, he became a free agent. As SK brought Oh Se-geun as a free agent, it became difficult to catch Choi Jun-yong due to the salary cap structure. Several teams salivated over Choi Jun-yong. The possibility of remaining in SK was also raised.
KCC succeeded in a surprise recruitment. It is already a team full of superstars. There are national team guard Heo Ung and forward Lee Seung-hyun. Even Laguna endures. The 2020-2021 season regular league MVP Song Gyo-chang will also be discharged in November.안전놀이터
Choi Jun-yong goes to such a team. He could be a definite upgrade in karate. Last season, they placed 6th in the regular league, and were eliminated after losing to SK in the playoffs in the 6th round.
It is one of the best clubs in the league. It is no exaggeration to say that winning is always the goal. And this off-season, I opened my wallet again. I am already looking forward to what Choi Jun-yong will show at KCC and what kind of synergy will be created. raining99@sportsseoul.com
