Yeom Yoo-sung is showing promise as a shooter to fill the void left by Jeon Hyun-woo’s enlistment.
Daegu KOGAS began training with the team in June and has been playing exhibition games since late July.
Win or lose, one of the most noticeable changes has been the addition of Yeom Yoo-sung.
The GAS made a trade with Suwon KT. They traded Park Chan-ho and Lee Yoon-ki for Kim Dong-ryang. Some people regretted that they let Lee Yoon-ki go.
Acting head coach Kang Hyuk saw more value in Kim Dong-nyang than both players, and made the trade with the intention of securing playing time for Yeom Yoo-sung.
Yoo-sung, who can claim to be a shooter for the Gasworks, where Jeon Hyun-woo was enlisted, needs to play more on the court to develop.
Yoo has been playing consistently around 20 minutes in practice games. However, in five scrimmages with the university, he only averaged 9 points and shot 31.6% (6/19) from three-point range.
Of course, he shot a little better from three-point range than he did in college, but he still had his ups and downs.
However, he got a good feel for the men’s national basketball team in a practice game. In a scrimmage at Daegu Gymnasium on the 15th, Yeom scored 14 points in the fourth quarter alone, hitting four 3-pointers.
In the scrimmage that followed on the 16th, he made six 3-pointers and scored 20 points, and in the scrimmage against Sangmyung University on the 18th, he made four 3-pointers and scored 16 points.
Against the national team, he scored 12 and 11 points in the fourth quarter, respectively, and against Sangmyung University, he showed his explosiveness with 10 points in the second quarter.
In the three exhibition games in Daegu, Yeom averaged 16.3 points and shot 50.0% (14-of-28) from three-point range. She is averaging 4.7 three-pointers per game. 온라인바카라
After the national team’s scrimmage on the 15th, Yoo said, “The coach told me that he wants me to continue to play like this based on today’s (15th) game. I’m going to try to do this as much as possible.”
If Yoo carries his three-point shooting touch into the 2023-2024 season, the GAS will be in for an even better showing.
