South Korea National Team 2013-2014

[CKR132]

Make that FOUR Changwon LG Sakers in the player pool as Changwon won the bid for Moon Tae-Jong.

Kim Tae-Sol (Anyang KGC)
Kim Sun-Hyung (Seoul SK Knights)
Kim Min-Koo (Kyung Hee University)
Park Chan-Hee (Anyang KGC)
Cheon Ki-Beom (Yonsei University)
Doo Kyung-Min (Kyung-Hee University)
Kim Si-Rae (Changwon LG Sakers)

Cho Sung-Min (Busan Sonicboom KT)
Kang Byung-Hyun (KCC Egis)
Moon Tae-Young (Ulsan Mobis Phoebus)
Yoon Ho-Young (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Moon Seung-Gon (Korea University)
Kim Min-Soo (Seoul SK Knights)
Ki Seung-Ho (Changwon LG Sakers)
Moon Tae-Jong (Changwon LG Sakers)
Kim Yong-Hwan (Changwon LG Sakers)

Kim Jong-Kyu (Kyung-Hee University)
Lee Seung-Jun (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Ham Ji-Hoon (Ulsan Mobis Phoebus)
Choi Bo-Kyung (Seoul SK Knights)

Korea will meet China in the finals of EABC tomorrow. Maybe we'll see a Lee Jong-Hyun vs. Wang Zhelin match-up for some extended period of the game. It will take a superb effort for Korea to contain Guo Ailun. Maybe Park Chan-Hee will guard Guo.

 

[CKR132]

Park Chan-Hee: 15pts, 5 rebounds, 6 asts, 2 stls

Kim Min-Koo: 18pts, 12 rebounds, 4asts, 2stls

Yoo Jae-Hak lauded the efforts of the national team for winning the East Asia tournament. Yoo singled in Lee Jong-Hyun, Kim Jong-Kyu, Lee Seung-Hyun and Kim Min-Koo as Korea's best players in the future. Yoo also added that a weight training regimen will benefit the four as early as June to make them even more competitive against the Middle East teams.

Lee Seung-Hyun though is 31 years old and was one of the oldest players who played with the South Korean NT in this East Asian Championship or am I mistaken

Or unless there are 2 different players with such close names. One called Lee Seung-Hyun and one called Lee Seoung-Hyun

Maybe 'a person of the same name'.

Lee Seung-Hyun is common name in Korea.

'Lee Seung-Hyun=Lee Seoung-Hyun' same = no difference

1. Lee Seung Hyun : Born in 1982. 195~198cm, undersize center. Currently, retired player due to injury.

2. Lee Seung Hyun : Born in 1992. 197cm, power forward. Currently, Junior(the third year of University)

Played 2011 Summer Universiade (Shenzhen, China)

There is another Lee Seung-Hyun who played under Yoo Jae-Hak for Ulsan back in 2005-2011. This Lee Seung-Hyun who is Lee Jong-Hyun's college teammate in Korea University.

He suited up for South Korea in last year's U19 squad. Lee Seung-Hyun is a common name in South Korea. There is a boyband product and an actor from Korea with the same name.

Even Kim Min-Soo has a teammate in SK named Kim Min-Soo.

 

[CKR132]

Some young members of the national pool will be a part of the U19 team. Training will start next week.

Lee Jong-Hyun
Moon Seung-Gon
Choi Joon-Young
Cheon Ki-Beom

 

[CKR132]

Yoo Jae Hak narrowed down the player pool to 16.

Yang Dong-Geun (Ulsan Mobis Phoebus)
Kim Tae-Sol (Anyang KGC)
Kim Sun-Hyung (Seoul SK Knights)
Park Chan-Hee (Anyang KGC)
Kim Min-Koo (Kyung Hee University)
Moon Tae-Young (Ulsan Mobis Phoebus)
Lee Seung-Jun (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Cho Sung-Min (Busan Sonicboom KT)
Ki Seung-Ho (Changwon LG Sakers)
Yoon Ho-Young (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Moon Seung-Gon (Korea University)
Kim Joo-Sung (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Choi Bu-Kyong (Seoul SK Knights)
Kim Jong-Kyu (Kyung Hee University)
Lee Seung-Hyun (Korea University)
Lee Jong-Hyun (Korea University)

One Saker is still under consideration but Ki is still in doubt and may likely be dropped as the SF role seems to be a lock for Moon Tae-Young and Yoon Ho-Young. While the shooting guard position is still remotely open but pencil in Cho Sung-Min and Kim Min-Koo this early. Since Moon is looking like a lock, Lee Seung-Jun could be cut as well where the PF/C is crowded with Korea's twin towers of Kim Jong-Kyu and Lee Jong-Hyun alongside Kim Joo-Sung and Lee Seung-Hyun. A remote possibility in making it is Choi Bu-Kyong.

Thanks for the clarification guys It's quite difficult to be acquainted with the names of South Koreans to be honest... Especially when the names are so close and similar to each other... Not being familiar with the language also doesn't help much I guess

And I guess Asia-Basket also got confused as they listed the older Lee Seung-Hyun in this South Korean NT roster

Yeah, over the years asia-basket has been quite unreliable when it comes to national team rosters. They even listed Kim Min-Soo instead of Kim Min-Koo.

 

[CKR132]

Yoo Jae-Hak stated in Arirang that it will be a tough choice on who to choose between Moon Tae-Young and Lee Seung-Jun. I think Moon Tae-Young is favored slightly as Korea is missing Yang Hee-Jong (injury) and Kim Yong-Hwan (cut) as options in the small forward department.

 

[CKR132]

The national team will begin training camp in June 03, 2013. From the individual / team workouts of the KBL players, all will be fit as they go into camp. Lee Jong-Hyun could join the training camp after his recovery.

According to asia-basket.com Coach Yoo Jae Hak has narrowed the team down to 16

with still both Lee Seung Jun and Moon Tae Young still there.. obviously he has to pick just one of the two. I guess with Kim joo sung available it's lee seung jun that would be cut. With the way Kim Jong kyu and Lee Jong hyun played during the East Asia Championships, South Korea's front court looks scary. With Lee Seoung hyun as the 4th big man in the rotation.

asia-basket is quite inconsistent with their rosters. Their national rosters are inaccurate. In one page they included Kim Min-Soo in the 16 man lineup while in the other page it is Kim Min-Koo.

Yes, depending on the condition of Joo- Sung's knees, it will play determinant if Lee Seung-Jun gets the nod. At the moment, the 16 man pool is lacking in wing-depth as Yang Hee-Jong, Kim Yong-Hwan are not present. Moon Tae-Young holds a slight advantage as the latter plays under Yoo Jae-Hak in the KBL.

 

[CKR132]

Training camp opens next week with 13 players expected as Kim Sun-Hyung and Choi Bu-Kyong will join the team the following weak due to personal training in the United States. As for Lee Jong-Hyun, his schedule will be ironed out due to conflicts with his enlistment in the U19 national team. The latter has shown signs of exhaustion due to national team commitments for the senior and U19 as well as the university league games.

I think Lee Jong-Hyun should continue with the U19 squad and join the team after the Jones Cup.

 

[CKR132]

Lee Jong-Hyun will be sidelined for six weeks due to a nasal fracture suffered in a game yesterday. Three weeks if Lee could play with a mask.

 

[reamily2]

I am a "you have a one good low post player in your team" fan. As when it boils down in the end, I really need a reliable post up guy in my team.

I am a "you have a one good low post player in your team" fan. As when it boils down in the end, I really need a reliable post up guy in my team.

In the current 16 man pool, Kim Joo Sung and Lee Seung-Jun are established post players. Lee Jong-Hyun, Kim Jong-Kyu, Lee Seung-Hyun are still developing. Kim Joo-Sung still has the most polished post game among the bigman. Second and missing is Oh Sek-Eun.

But Korea is moving away from isolating a post player to operate when it comes to FIBA Asia competitions. It is a common practice in the KBL, but not a good one when it comes to international plays. The days when Korea used to dump it on low with Ha Seung-Jin stagnated their offense and the shooters became out of sync.

In the 2012 Olympic qualifier and 2013 East Asian Qualifiers, Korea's post points from bigmen came from high picks concluding to a hit with a forward dive. Either a pass is channeled in the succeeding cut or the post is lit after a baseline drive from a guard or winger. Bottom line: dives out of the baseline flex.

 

[CKR132]

Training started today with conditioning exercises as well as lifting weights. Yoo Jae-Hak stated that the national team's size is not compromised despite missing Ha Seung-Jin. Yoo also added that depth of the front-court will be tested against the Middle East teams but he plans not to sacrifice speed and versatility against other fast teams.

Lee Seung-Jun and Moon Tae-Young both stated that they are having a friendly competition against one another. Based on the videos, both were hyped for lifting weights.

But Ha has zero or below average post up skills compare to the Seo Jang Hoon's and Eric Sandrin's. They aren't your ordinary post players as they can play back to the basket as quick as a big guy who has face up skills. Thats why our Filipino big men cannot match up with Seo. And guys like Kim Min Soo did not blend well with the Korean scheme of offense because the ball takes a lot of time in him.

They forced to do that given the size disadvantage they had against Russians and how green the Chinese Big men to react to the rolls made by no. 14 and no. 15.
