Korean Basketball League 2012-2013 Season
Exciting things afoot for the league. For starters, the competitive landscape will shift
once again as a new batch of rookies will make their way to their teams. Most notably is Kim Si-Rae,
the first overall pick in the 2012 KBL Draft and he will join Ulsan Mobis Phoebus and be
mentored by superstar, Yang Dong-Geun. Another worth mentioning is Kim Seung-Won who was drafted
third overall by the Goyang Orions, Kim will join Choi Jin-Soo to what looks like a promising
frontcourt for the future.
Free agents like
LG's Moon Tae-Young, Samsung's Lee Seung-Jun and KCC's Jeon Tae-Pong will be in new teams
soon. Then the two import per team quota is back.
As for my Changwon LG Sakers, this is the start of a rebuilding phase. We lost Moon Tae-Young as that
void in the wing will not be filled up anytime soon. The Sakers also lost Park Hyung-Chul
for military service, joining the sharpshooting Ki Seung-Ho in the army.
One source of optimism lies with the rookies Cho Sang-Hyul and Park Rae-Hyun. Park's brother,
Park Chan-Hee will be entering the military after winning a championship with Anyang KGC.
Expect the Sakers to be bottom dwellers, if not the last team in the standings.
I would not mind a losing season for a rebuilding team. Eyes on the prize as they say. Maybe by
the 20133 KBL Draft, the Sakers will have the good fortune of drafting Kim Jong-Kyu.
Questions also aimed at Wonju Dongbu Promy like how much Kim Joo-Sung still has in the tank? Can the team overcome the absence of Yoon Ho-Young? As for Anyang KGC, can they repeat minus Park Chan-Hee? Moving past Jeonju KCC Egis, can a healthy Ha Seung-Jin tow them into the playoffs?
We'll find out.
