In watching the current KBL season, the national team will be hard pressed to replace Yang Dong-Geun, the fiery leader and the main point for so many years now. Yang took over from Kim Seung-Hyun. Now as Yang is entering his early 30's. Yang's backup point in Manila, Kim Tae-Sol is also 30. Some time after the 2014 Asian games, they have to find a successor.
From the ranks:
Kim Sun-Hyung
Park Chan-Hee
Both are waiting in line. Kim was with the team in Manila and impressed with his efficiency and energy in a reserve role. Kim's SK Knights are currently #1 in the KBL right now. Park Chan-Hee was cut after the Jones Cup as Yoo Jae-Hak wanted more scoring in the wings. Park has the versatility and is a pass first point guard compared to Kim.
Kim Si-Rae
Park Jae-Hyun
Doo Kyun-Min
Kim is on his way to becoming an all-star this season with LG. Last season, he was under the guidance of Yang Dong-Geun. Given his own team, he has done a good job in spearheading the Sakers fastbreak. Though Kim is relatively untested when it comes to FIBA play. Park Jae-Hyun another upcoming guard with Samsung that showcases versatility and playmaking. Doo Kyun-Min surprised us all as he can play point guard despite being known as a shooter in his college days with Kyung-Hee. Doo and Park have senior's experience on their belts with the 2013 EABC and East Asian games.
