JU Tae Su(203-82-C/F)

KBA(Korea Basketball Association) scheduled practice together with 23 members April 30th. But players didn't join cuz condition problems. So they will get together middle of May. First trouble already happen..;;

Some playes having surgery to prepare winter pro seasons, so players will be change.(ex Hyun Joo Yup back, Bang Sung Yoon figher.. surgery)

And KBA said they will not pick old players(over born 1976) but they pick Shin KiSung and Choo Seung Gyun.. Fans blame KBA that they don't follow their own words.

KBA pick 2 half Koreans. I don't think they will very helpful for our NT. But if KBA want half Koreans or imports for NT, not pick them(KIM Min Soo or LEE Dong Jun), they had better pick Eric Sandrin(204-F-78, half Korean, brother of LEE Dong Jun) or Tony Rutland(188-G-74) or Lee Benson(211-73-C/F, married with Korean women).

SEO JangHoon out 23 roster. He has trouble with headcoach.(And also Lee Gyu Sup. maybe he will out too.)


my 12 roster(hope)

LEE Dong Jun(201-80-F/C) a.k.a Daniel Sandrin. brother of Eric Sandrin

There's an Eric Sandrin playing in Portugal, I guess it's him. American right? Didn't know he had a brother who also played basketball.

[bristron]

re

Daniel Sandrin also played in German 3rd league and Luxemburg as import.
Accoring to Korean papers Eric applicate Korean passport in 2006 june and it takes 2 month.

Usually foreinger need to spend 5 years in Korea, if he(or she) want to be Korean.(If he married with Korean, need to spend 2 years in Korea). And after spend that times, need test of Korean words and history.(that test is so difficult).

daniel(and eric)'s mother is korean so, daniel needed only test.(and took only about 4 month.)

I don't know Eric passed test or not, rumor said after test he will join KBL soon. If so, KBA can add him in NT roster.

Maybe KBA want to pick some of that players(Eric, Tony, Lee), they can help that players to have Korean passport easier. But I think KBA don't care about that.

Thanks for the info bristron.

i thought tony rutland is half filipino?or is he 1/4... and maybe 1/4 korean ei...

anyway, so all players are from KBA... is the level of play higher than KBL?

[bristron]

re

Bang will join NT after his surgery in US
(maybe not his top conditions)

As I said before in this furum, tony rutland is half Korean.
He can understand Korean. And played KBL.
His mother is Korean, and his father is American.
His grandmother still lives in Korea.
So he can get Korean passport easily when he want.

I Know why u guys think like that.. cuz tony rutland born in RP.(When his father serve army service in RP).

And most NT players play in KBL.
KBA is Korea Basketball Association.

So which is the premier league of Korea, KBL or KBA?

re

I mean KBA is not a league.
KBA controls all the leagues in Korea like KBL, University games, highschool games..
